Let’s be real here, tea will never match the fatty, creamy, lusciousness of a slice of cheesecake. This tea is satisfying though. Just maybe not in the same way.
Add Ins: 1/2 tsp of sugar free toffee syrup and 2 tbsp of lite soy milk
I feel like the add ins kind of made this cup. Toffee is perfection for this. I’ve tried it both ways multiple times now. Without the sweetener, the caramel notes fall short and there’s no creaminess. It’s a bit like a cup of flat artificial chocolate. Once you add just a bit of each add in, though, you suddenly have something that tastes like a sweeter milk chocolate (though still leaning on the artificial side), with heavy creamy caramel notes and a slight nuttiness.
Like most 52Teas black teas, the base and flavorings have a small margin for error. Just under 3 minutes and 200F always turns out a happy cup though.
There’s none of the sharpness of cheesecake here and it obviously doesn’t melt in your mouth (and thighs), but it’s still a tasty tea.
