There is a 52 Teas Kickstarter going on right now and it’s going to fund! Only a few days left! If you love tea blends you really need to check out The 52Teas Reboot Kickstarter! Let’s get’em stretch goals! I’m really excited for Lime Jello Salad Green tea and that Maple Cheesecake Tie Guan Yin!
I’ve done a number of 52Teas reviews, all really fun blends. A trend I noticed, even though the flavors can be adventurous, the tea is still the center piece.
They release a new tea blend every week, occasionally reblending some. I always recommend getting on the newsletter and when you see a blend you like to purchase it right away. The tea could sell out and may not come back! My stash has a number of 52Teas I purchased that I haven’t sample yet. Let’s give one a try.
The dry leaf smells amazing like icing and sweet nutty pieces.
I steeped Buttercream Toffee White for 2.5 minutes with 185F water temperature.
Up front, the tea is a sweet juicy white with hearty straw and floral notes. I’m thinking this has to be a shou mei white base since the flavor is strong. Checking… yes, this blend is a shou mei white tea base! The background flavor is creamy vanilla with a finish of a light buttery caramel flavor. The main flavor is white tea and sweet cream. What I like about this tea is the blend isn’t too sweet or vanilla. which is nice to enjoy the white base.
If you like the sounds of this tea, or the idea of teas like Mango Sticky Rice Custard Genmaicha, Rainbow Sorbet, Cinnamon Roll Honeybush, Hot Buttered Banana Bread Black and Pancake Breakfast Black be sure to check out The 52Teas Reboot Kickstarter!
