VariaTEA drank Orange Creamsicle Mousse by Dessert by Deb

6444 tasting notes

It’s almost 1 am. I am listening to a lecture, enjoying a cheese plate and drinking this cold brew from earlier. The first cheese was quite nutty and seemed to latch on to the honey/wood notes of the rooibos base. The second cheese was a creamier cranberry goat gouda so it pulled out the orange notes, which were creamy and sweet instead of bright and sharp. The third cheese was also nutty like the first but much more creamy and it also clung to the orange. The fourth cheese was also creamy – this time its like a super high end baby bel or string cheese and again, it pulled orange. The fifth cheese is a spicy cheddar (that is actually spicy) and it pulls out the honey notes of the base. I have now run out of tea but have more cheeses so I guess I should try this experiment tomorrow with more tea. It was fun to see how different flavors brought out different components of the tea. With that said, there was nothing I would call mousse in this tea.

Are you enjoying your online/remote classes?

Honestly I feel like the school is not grasping how much more work it is on the student to study remote so its been really stressful. The particular course I am doing now is an intensive but the prof seems to be somewhat aware of the difficulties and is quite reasonable so its not too bad.
