52teas – Dreamsicle Puerh
From the queue, written March 29th 2014
Courtney shared a sample of this one with me. I confess to not having the faintest clue as to what a dreamsicle is, but I think it’s some kind of ice lolly, yes?
When pouring it was SO PALE coming out of the spout that I actually stopped to lift the lid and check that I had added leaf.
It smells citrus-y. Sort of lemon-y and grapefruit-y. I believe the base is also playing a part in this. It sort of feels like the lemon-y aspects are not added flavours, but I can’t explain why I’m getting this impression. Other than that, I’m not really picking up anything of the base.
It tastes citrus-y too. More zesty than fruity. Again, I’m leaning towards grapefruit, but there’s something else in here as well. Something sweet. Vanilla? I think vanilla. (Hm. I was trying to go for something different from the cup I just had. Perhaps under such circumstances, one shouldn’t choose a tea flavoured to imitate something one doesn’t know what is…). I’m still not getting anything out of the base, though. I think I would enjoy it more if I could find the base in this.
So dreamsicles. Some sort of grapefruit/citrus-y ice lolly with vanilla? Perhaps a vanilla ice cream center with the citrus-y ice lolly bit around it?

I think it’s a play on the word creamsicle, but I could be wrong. A creamsicle is an orange flavoured ice cream pop.
Oh, wait. I Googled haha. A dreamsicle is different in that the inside is ice milk, rather than ice cream.
Either way, you have lolly-face now.
Or, you did on March 29th.
Courtney, sounds like my kind of thing then. A favourite Danish one for me as a child has vanilla ice cream in the middle and pineapple flavoured ice lolly covering. A classic. :) (Gosh, I totally want one now!)
Neat!
Ice cream and pineapple sounds amazing, Angrboda!
