People are not really sure what to expect when you say cheese tea. I think it throws them for a loop until they realize exactly what it is. Imagine a beautiful sweet tangy cousin to whipped cream or the no-bake cheesecake batter that you wish you could drink out of a straw. Picture that creamy thick deliciousness on top of Tadin’s Rose Bud tea. Makes sense, people pair cheesecake with fruity flavors all the time.
The subtle sweet floral taste of Tadin’s Rose Bud Tea also known as “Rosa De Castilla” really envelopes the perfect flavor needed for cheese tea. I like to make a big batch of rose tea, then serve it cold topped with the cheese whip and a little side of cookies for a decadent treat. Some people like to mix the cheese whip in right away and some people like to let the two combine naturally as they drink, I fall in the latter. It doesn’t matter what method you take they are both crazy delicious. Trust me!
