I suspect that I looked like a kid on christmas morning when I pulled this out of my Fire Sale box from Rachel. I knew it would be good stuff, but I was expecting samples…. not, you know, several practically full bags of awesome discontinued/unavailable teas. That’s right, I have a whole bag of this! Which is nice, because it’s so good it makes me cry a little to think about drinking the last of it.
The bf had a sip from my cup and described this as “earl grey with a slice of cheesecake melted in.” It’s just…. perfection. The earl grey is very strong, pretty heavy on the bergamot actually, and with a hint of lemon as well. First you get the bold, super-strong earl grey, then there’s the creamy, sweet cheesecake. There’s no crust element, it’s more like cheescake filling. But for me that’s the best part!
EDIT: I resteeped this twice last night: the second steep was even cheescakey-er than the first, and the third held up well too!

Boooo, I didn’t even know this one existed, and it sounds delicious! :(
I didn’t know it existed either! 52teas has so many blends it’s hard to keep track of the older ones. But I love earl grey and cheesecake so it’s a match made in heaven for me.
I was surprised this wasn’t more popular than it was. It got some really mixed reviews too, which kind of took me by surprise. I had a really hard time NOT arguing with some of the reviewers.
I was a bit surprised at the negative reviews as well. This blend sounds so delicious. I think I’ll have to make a real earl grey cheesecake at some point.
I’m so happy this went to a good home. :)
Man, that does sound really, really good.
This sounds interesting, but since I’m so finnicky with Earl Grey, I probably wouldn’t like this, since I don’t seem to be an Oil of Bergamot fan. I’d still give it a try, though ;)
I have no idea how this scored a 5! Maybe some people just don’t like bergamot? This is a pretty strong earl grey.
