I taste ginger and other spices, but not really carrot cake. There’s also not much supporting those spices since this is an herbal tea, so it feels a little empty. It tastes like a pretty basic grocery store herbal chai. But it tastes too much like raw root vegetables for me, and there’s far too much licorice. It’s the second ingredient, which really isn’t right for this flavor profile. I’ve had so many great carrot cake teas that this one ends up super disappointing.
