I didn’t enjoy this tea when I tried it about five years ago, but I was happy to give it another try when I saw some in the TTB. Yeah, the flavor here is just so artificial and sweet and strange. It doesn’t remind me of red velvet, but the flavor does sort of remind me of a jar of store-bought icing. But that also isn’t right for red velvet cake since those usually have cream cheese icing. Unfortunately, I just find this blend to be fake and bad.
