If you're a tea lover and also enjoy a good cheesecake slice from time to time, this new Earl Grey Basque Cheesecake from Starbucks is going to be right up your alley. The filling has visible flecks of tea throughout it, and the baked flavor adds a real richness to the product. At 520 yen for the slice, I'd say the value for money aspect isn't too bad. It's not what I would refer to as a bargain, but it's fairly on par with what I would expect to pay for a cake slice at an independent bakery. Worth trying if you're an Earl Grey fan.

This is a limited time only offering, so if you find yourself really enjoying this, the timeframe to get your hands on it is pretty narrow. I would recommend heading in to your nearest Starbucks store sooner rather than later if it sounds like a must-try item for you. Overall, this is a solidly tasty dessert option for cheesecake lovers and tea fans. It has a really good flavor, and the flecks of actual tea to me make it feel more authentic than if it was just tea flavoring. I hope that you also enjoy it if you end up giving it a try -- happy eating! :)
