From 52teas

Tea of the Week for October 25, 2021!

Around this time of year, I see “Orange Cinnamon Rolls” available in those pop-cans of dough in the refrigerated section of the grocery store & I find those difficult to resist – so I usually don’t! I remember at one point a year or two ago thinking, why not have Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls?

After a quick google search, I found that Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls is actually a thing & my mind immediately presented me with an idea: how about a strawberry cinnamon roll tea? Because, the way I see it is – if it’s a treat that can be made, can it not be made even better if it were a tea? (That’s the way my mind works. If it’s a thing, I generally want it to be a tea thing & fortunately, I work for 52Teas & we’re not afraid to make it into a tea thing here.)

I decided to try to create a Strawberry Cinnamon Roll tea & here it is! I started with a blend of organic green teas (Chun Mee, Gunpowder & Young Hyson) & added some freeze-dried strawberries & some Sri Lankan cinnamon chips – plus some essence to create a cinnamon roll-ish taste that’s complete with a touch of cream cheese icing essence (don’t worry, it’s vegan!)

The naturally soft, sweet notes of the green tea works really well here. The cinnamon is gentle – I didn’t want it to overpower the flavor of the strawberry or the cream cheese notes . . . & those cream cheese notes here are so lovely – sweet & tangy! The strawberry notes add a pleasing sweetness to the cup & there’s just a hint of dough-y pastry. This is a yummy teatime treat that’s also organic, vegan, gluten-free, allergen-free & all natural!

organic ingredients: green teas, cinnamon, strawberries & natural flavors

to brew: shake pouch to redistribute ingredients. use 2 ½ grams of tea to 12oz of very hot water (175°) & steep for 2.25 minutes (2 minutes, 15 seconds). strain & allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before sipping. (The cool time encourages the flavors of the tea to develop!)

A wee bit of sweetener will enhance the overall ‘dessert-y’ quality of this tea. I use less than a ½ teaspoon of raw sugar in this – it helps the cream cheese & pastry notes really pop.

AJRimmer Advent Day 12

Are strawberry cinnamon rolls actually a thing? Never heard of them but I’d be intrigued to try one! This made for a nice light mid-morning pick-me-up. The green tea is smooth and mellow and the flavoring is sweet and natural. I mostly got strawberry with a hint of cinnamon; no bakery or cream cheese notes that I could pick up on. I wouldn’t have minded a stronger flavor (or maybe a black tea base?) but this was still quite tasty!

Flavors: Cinnamon, Smooth, Strawberry, Sweet

Preparation
175 °F / 79 °C 2 min, 30 sec 1 tsp 12 OZ / 354 ML

As an avid cinnamon roll fan, I can’t say I’ve ever heard of a strawberry one!

Same here! Doesn’t it sound tasty, though?

I enjoyed this warm, but it was better cold. The green tea was mild, and there was a touch of cinnamon bark and berry. It has almost a baked flavor, but I didn’t get any cream cheese like others mention. It tastes very high quality and enjoyable. There’s some special flavoring in there that I can’t quite identify. This tea is far more subtle than the name would imply, but it’s still tasty.

Drinking lots of tea, no time to write notes, or do much of anything for that matter.

Had a lovely cup of this a couple days ago though, and wanted to record it. I didn’t taste much in the way of strawberry cinnamon roll, but the savoury base mixed with the flavour notes quite well to create a delicious, albeit vaguely flavoured, experience. I don’t often remember much about the teas I drink while working (which is the only time I drink tea, really), but this one stuck out. Yum.

October 2021 Tea

When the cream cheese icing flavour peaks through and blends with the cinnamon strawberries this tea hits a glorious sweet spot. I didn’t add sugar but I find the cream cheese comes out more as it cools. Its tangy sweetness is an indulgent finishing note.

I wasn’t too certain about this one because of the cinnamon and gunpowder, but the cinnamon is at a perfect level for me (a little heat and only a tiny bit barky = perfect). It makes a convincing cinnamon roll with that excellent cream cheese flavouring. The smoky gunpowder adds dimensions to the cinnamon roll but it still isn’t quite my thing; luckily it’s not the only green tea present (I’d be curious to see if these flavours could be replicated in a black tea base too)! The strawberry is that tasty berry candy thing that I often enjoy from 52teas – especially in the summer months. It plays into the cinnamon and cream cheese flavouring better than I anticipated, and I’m enjoying it a lot.

Overall, I love the flavouring and concept. I can live with the green base blend too (it does have its moments, but gunpowder is not my fav).

Steep Count: 2 – not quite a successful second attempt for the icing but alright.

Flavors: Butter, Cheesecake, Cinnamon, Cream, Smoke, Strawberry, Tangy, Toasty, Vegetal

I can appreciate gunpowder green tea on its own, but it’s not generally my favorite as a blended tea. Except for with mint, I suppose.

Hmm, I’m a big fan of gunpowder. This sounds like it might be my cup of tea.

I think if i had more of this my rating would creep up over time. I also enjoy gunpowder on its own :)
