I love this, have hoarded a few big tins of it, and don’t understand why it’s not a permanent flavor. It tastes just like rich chocolate cake with buttery, white chocolate frosting. One of my favorite dessert teas (if not my #1 favorite)…

I fell into insta-love with this tea. They were giving out testers at the local store and I finished my little cup and immediately ordered more in a latte (amazing) and then bought 200g to take home. Spicy, cakey, creamy… really is just like a frosted carrot cupcake in tea form. I love David’sTea’s cake teas and this one might be my favorite of the cake teas (Red Velvet Cake tho…). It’s just so good.

This tea tastes like Christmas – strong, spicy, sparkly, sweet, fun. I don’t know how something can taste ‘sparkly,’ but this does. It just has a certain brightness to it that keeps it from being simply a heavily spiced black tea. I adore the clove in this (mmm cloves). Like eating gingerbread cookies decorated with sugar crystals underneath the Christmas tree, staring up at hundreds of twinkling lights. I crave this blend in the cold weather.

When I was making my way through a mug of this, all I kept thinking was, “Lemongrass. There has to be lemongrass in this.” Finally was able to check the ingredients and, yep, lemongrass. That’s all I get from this tea. I can’t even taste the “artificial creamy lime flavoring” from the ingredients list. I guess maybe it has a creaminess to it? Still, Vanilla Swirl and Lemon Pound Cake are better, in my opinion, for a sweet, creamy, lemony profile. Vanilla Swirl and Lemon Pound Cake are both stronger, more complex, and interesting to me. Lime Gelato has a weird, bitter-ish taste that it leaves in my mouth after a while.

I usually hate ‘pumpkin spice’ scented and flavored things, but this tea is amazing to me. Earthy black tea with tons of sweet caramel and a rich, spicy chai with lots of clove and cinnamon. So yummy. Sweet, rich, spicy.

I didn’t fall in love with this as much as everyone else seemed to, which surprised me, because I am generally all about s’mores. I originally ordered two of the large boxes of this from David’sTea, because I was so sure that I would love it, but I wound up giving them both away after several disappointing cups.
I love Pumpkin Chai and White Chocolate Chai both a lot more than S’mores Chai. I find that I have to use double the amount that I normally would to make a decent cup of this, and it’s still on the weaker side of things. It has a subtle chocolate, maybe some creaminess from the marshmallow, and a warm, lightly spicy graham cracker flavor. Mostly a weak chocolate tea with hints of graham cracker.

My favorite chocolate mint tea. Toasty, warm, sweet chocolate and cool, creamy mint, like drinking a peppermint patty.

A very pretty tea with undertones of honey, soft lemon, toast and hay-like, golden, vegetal flavors. I don’t find it to be very buttery (more bright and honeyed), and certainly nothing like Butter Sencha’s intensely buttery, creamy sweetness. I think that Zomba Pearls has a toasty, delightful, hay-like taste to it. Pleasant and warming. I originally said I wouldn’t repurchase this, because I like Tie Kwan Yin for a bold, warm, toasty tea and Butter Sencha for a buttery, sweet tea, but I like Zomba Pearls for exactly when those two blends are too much. This has a bright, light, happy taste to it that’s just easy to enjoy. Tastes like sunshine and happiness.

I usually don’t like chocolate + fruit flavors, but the great reviews here made me finally try this, and I’m glad that I did. It’s a great pick-me-up and the overall flavor is so very smooth and velvety. Chocolate and raspberry syrup, but both are so creamy and somehow not sickly sweet. Pleasant, strong, but not overwhelming, and was able to make several cups from one tablespoon, which I almost never do (I hate weak tea, lol).
