Cheese-capped tea is taking the baton from bubble tea and running with it. This odd-sounding combination is a Japanese treatment for a glass of cold tea topped with a thick layer of foam made from cream cheese whipped with milk or half and half, and a touch of salt.<\/p>\n<p>The cap sits atop the drink, and with each sip, it introduces a rich, creamy contrast to the bracing and refreshing glass of tea. It\u2019s a drink not far out of the trends cycle starting gate, so the first-to-market opportunity for operators is significant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a rapidly expanding opportunity,\u201d says Gordon Food Service Corporate Consulting Chef Gerry Ludwig, CEC. \u201cAs strange as cheese-capped tea may sound, when that flavor and texture blends with the tea, it\u2019s dynamite.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where\u2019s the opportunity? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tea drinkers are a growing army, and there\u2019s also an appeal for college and university students. \u201cIf you\u2019re a tea drinker, chances are you\u2019re going to like cheese-capped teas,\u201d Ludwig says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Because it\u2019s photogenic, cheese-capped tea may capture the imagination of younger consumers on Instagram.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A variety of teas work with the cheese cap, and then there\u2019s &nbsp;the ability to move it beyond teas to lemonades, slushies or smoothies. \u201cFoam\u201d is familiar to the North American consumer, thanks to the coffee culture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCheese-capped beverages have potential throughout foodservice segments,\u201d Ludwig says. \u201cThey are colorful and visually arresting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And leave straws behind. \u201cThe straw would make it an all or nothing experience,\u201d he says. \u201cIdeally, you sip the tea for a perfect marriage of flavor and texture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ask your Gordon Food Service Sales Representative for ways to add cheese-capped teas to your beverage business and check out our recipes
