I was very excited about this tea. I love sweet teas, dessert teas, chocolate and cake. Sounds like it would be the perfect tea for me.
My expectations where not met in the way I was hoping. The tea has a wonderful smell, similar to the smell of melted butter, brown sugar and vanilla. The tea has a beautiful color too, a rich red.
When I first tasted it I was taken back for a moment, was it sweet? was it too sweet? was it bitter? Did I steep for too long or too short? I could not tell, so I took another sip. I was enjoying what I was tasting, but felt it was lacking something. I tasted caramel, vanilla, almost like a browned butter and brown sugar too. What I did not taste was chocolate or any creaminess.
I would recommend this tea even if you do not enjoy red velvet cake, or chocolate. It could be too sweet for some but I enjoy sweet teas.
I will definitely enjoying experimenting with making this tea to a latte or perhaps adding chocolate milk.
Flavors: Butter, Caramel, Vanilla
