This tea smelled so good I had to try it, despite the fact that I don’t usually go for the overly-sweet cake-y teas. Which is exactly what this is. Red Velvet Cake tasted like butterscotch ick. The birthday cake collection was rooibos so I gave that a complete miss (just the smells turned this owl’s stomach). Coffee cake on the other hand… was worth trying.
In hindsight I probably shouldn’t have done it as a latte – the milk brought out the sweetness a bit too much. I’ll try steeping it straight next time. All I can think is, this would probably blend well with a chai or something to balance it out. Perhaps Sugar and Spice… oh, and can we take a moment to talk about how saddening it is that the autumn teas are gone?!
Anyway, sweet is the word here, but in an actual tastes-like-cake way, so its not all that bad. Wishing there was more coffee in this one, then again maybe there’s the answer to the blending, Coffee Chai.
Hm. So many questions.
