Day 3 of the 52teas advent calendar. Gotta agree with what seems to be the general consensus: this is a great (re)blend. I never had the original and am not a fan of EG teas as a rule, but this version is really well executed. This is a better bergamot than most I’ve had – citrusy, clear, no weird aftertaste. And the creamy cheesecake flavoring is beautiful. I had most of the mug plain. I added oat milk to the last bit of it, but I actually preferred this straight rather than latte’d. The oat milk just drowned out the flavoring more than I expected. Maybe I used too much of it!
Flavors: Bergamot, Cheesecake

Whenever I add dairy (at least, when I plan to add dairy) I make it a point to brew it stronger than I would a tea I plan to consume without the addition. (What I mean by brewing it stronger is to brew it with more leaf, rather than a longer steep time. The longer steep time will produce a more astringent & bitter cup, the additional leaf will just make the flavor more concentrated that the addition of dairy won’t dilute the cup.)
