Tea Information:
Leaf Type: Honeybush
Where to Buy: 52Teas
Product Description:
I think it’s about time for another Honeybush blend, and not just any honeybush blend, but a CHEESECAKE honeybush blend. I fully expect this blend is going to be every bit as popular or more popular than our Coconut Cheesecake Honeybush, so don’t drag your feet about ordering this one; I used up the LAST of our honeybush creating it, and I’m still waiting on my supplier–whose shipment is stuck in customs at the moment.
We’ve blended our organic caffeine-free African honeybush with organic lemon myrtle, some marigold petals and all natural flavors to create a truly mouth-watering batch of deliciousness. The scent of this blend alone is enough to send some folks into paroxysms of joy, but the flavor is beyond stunning. Hot or iced, this is a serious TREAT.
Taster’s Review:
OK, by now it’s no secret that I love 52Teas. But I think it goes a little further than that. I am addicted to 52Teas, and Frank is my dealer. Frank and his tea company, 52Teas, is total tea awesomeness! And this Lemon-Lime Cheesecake Honeybush is absolute deliciousness!
I can’t recall ever actually tasting a lemon-lime cheesecake. But, here, I can taste the lemon and the lime. I can taste the cheesecake. And I can even taste the buttery pastry. The nutty sweet honeybush marries perfectly with the flavors to complete the cheesecake-like profile. This is what lemon-lime cheesecake SHOULD taste like.
YUM!
As I write this, there are only 4 pouches of this tisane left in stock… I highly recommend getting some before they run out!

Tasters Review:
If it says “Cheesecake” I’ll probably try it!
At first sip I thought this was creamy and that was about it besides the honeybush and rooibos flavors but then I waited about 2 minutes at room temp…things changed from there on! The blueberry flavor plumped right up and was very tasty. There was still a great deal of creaminess to it tho.
I’m not sure if I would say cheesecake-like but it’s certainly creamy! As for aroma I can smell the blueberries slightly but not overly so.
It is VERY dark in color once infused especially for a Rooibos and/or Honeybush. The after taste is a blueberry and ends with a tiny floral taste.
I don’t know if I would say this about many other tisanes but I enjoy the creamy flavor mixed with the blueberry and I appreciate the blueberry not tasting fake or over the top!
Overall this was quite good and I would certainly have it again!
