My new go-to tea is Hōjicha. Green tea is all I’m drinking lately and I love it cold, with a salty foam topping.

Talking about cheese tea - I found this today at my local convenience store. It was sweeter and less "cheesy" than I thought it would be - hmm, I'll try other cheese tea drinks someday, it's definitely better than I expected!...

China-based Nayuki (奈雪の茶), a popular cheese tea chain is renowned for its tantalising fresh fruit tea and soft-euro bread. Sis bought the Pitaya Cranberry Cheese, a large donut-like ring dyed pink with dragon fruit and filled with dried cranberry and cream cheese.

Cheese tea is new to Japan and I haven’t tried it, but I understand that it’s tea with a layer of cream cheese foam. I honestly don’t know if I think it sounds gross; I’ve just found it too hard to imagine. And cheese tea cake is even harder to imagine, especially when it looks so much like a pudding. In any case, I was tempted by a different tea dessert, so I’ll have to hope this sticks around long enough for me to try it... maybe...

So last time I posted about it, the concept of cheese tea seemed really new to a lot of people. I personally find it delicious and think maybe you might, too!

Cheese tea is tea with foam on top. The foam is made of milk whipped with cream cheese and sometimes whipped cream. It creates a frothy, sweet, and salty cap that sits on top of the drink. You drink it without a straw- either you drink it with no lid (that’s why it’s sometimes called mustache) or you drink it through a lid like this:

This way, you get the foam in every drink, and not all at once at the bottom, like if you drank it through a straw. It sounds a little strange at first, but it is extremely delicious- the salty tang of the foam couples amazingly with the sweet tea, and it’s very refreshing. It’s very popular in parts of Asia and originated in Taiwanese night markets. The cheese tea I really like has a blend of oolongs as the base, and the tea is very peachy. But green tea and matcha is are also very popular. So! Now you know what cheese tea is!
