Black forest cake has long been one of my favourite desserts. There’s a bakery in town that makes it just perfectly from scratch and there really is nothing else like it. Unfortunately this tea is nothing like the actual cake. I’m really not tasting much cherry flavour at all and the chocolate cake flavour is quite flat with a weird almost cardboard like note. It’s slightly better with milk and sweetener, but not by a whole lot. And who’s bright idea was it to put hibiscus in a blend that has nothing to do with tart flavour profiles?!? Stash is one of the worst offender for this so I don’t know why I’m surprised.
If you were thinking of buying this tea because you love black forest cake, my advice is to save yourselves and take a pass on this tea.
I have the puerh version of this and it is pretty good, but way too expensive for the small amount of bags you get, and that is the only way they sell it. Not repurchasing.
