What is cheese foam, also known as cheese tea?
Cheese foam, also known as cheese tea, is a creamy and frothy topping that is used in various beverages, particularly in tea-based drinks.
It is typically made by combining cream cheese, sweetener, and sometimes other ingredients like milk or whipping cream.
The resulting foam has a rich and velvety texture, providing a unique contrast to the underlying tea’s flavors.

What does cheese tea taste like?
Cheese tea has a distinctive flavor profile that combines elements of sweetness, creaminess, and a subtle savory note.
The taste can vary depending on the type of tea used as the base and the specific recipe of the cheese foam.
Generally, the tea itself provides a refreshing and aromatic backdrop, while the cheese foam contributes a creamy and slightly salty taste.
When combined, these flavors create a harmonious balance that is both indulgent and satisfying.
What ingredients do I need to make cream cheese foam tea?
- Hot Water – water brought to soft boil, around 200F.

- Sweetener – use your preferred sweetener.
- Cream Cheese – blocks and at room temperature.
- Matcha Powder – best to use culinary-grade matcha powder. Ceremonial high-quality matcha powder can be used, but will only affect the color and not the taste.

- Heavy Cream – use whipping cream or heavy cream. Double cream if in the UK.

- Green Tea – provides a more delicate and grassy taste, creating a lighter and refreshing combination.
- Oolong Tea – with its semi-oxidized profile, brings a unique complexity that enhances the overall flavor experience.

Ultimately, the best tea choice for cheese foam tea depends on individual taste preferences, and experimentation with different tea varieties can lead to delightful combinations.
