Yes, I like to drink black tea in the evening. This is a dessert tea, right? The aroma is really nice, very sweet and chocolately. I should really have red velvet cake with these teas. It’s important for flavour research. Anyway, I do taste cake in this tea. Otherwise, it has a good chocolate flavour.

This tea smells really good. It seems a little less flavourful than the chiffon teas. There a bit of a sweet, creamy citrus taste.

This does remind me of fruit punch. The flavours are mostly berry and orange. It’s delightfully fruity.

This smells great… like spicy coconut marzipan. The flavour is like almond with spices. There’s hints of coconut and apple, but mostly almond.

Wish I’d had this when it was still winter, this would good on a cold evening.

My order came with this bonus. Doesn’t seem like a full ounce. Oh well.

This smells really nice in the bag. Like strawberry jelly beans. It has a nice (a little too sweet) strawberry flavour at first, then it’s more like hibiscus. It was good as just a strawberry herbal

I drank three cups of this while making brunch.

This tea smells delicious. It’s creamy, and fruity. The flavour is like drinking the pineapple cake. There’s also a nice cream flavour with hints of cherry. I would have liked a little more pineapple, otherwise it’s great.

I’ve now tried this with David’s Red Velvet Cake. Creating a new tea blend I like to call… Holy Cake, That’s Good!

This tea has a nice scent, kinda like ice cream. It has a nice, creamy vanilla flavour. Tastes like vanilla ice cream and cream soda.

It’s not that peachy in flavour, but still pretty good. There are some hints of fruit, but I just like the base tea.

This tea smells so good. It’s more like caramel dry, and a bit like caramel cappuccino brewed. The flavour is sweet and creamy like vanilla caramels.
