Pineapple Upside Down Cake from Della Terra Teas

QueenOfTarts drank Pineapple Upside Down Cake by Della Terra Teas

I’m very eager to drink this tea as apparently it has a great cakey flavor. The scent is almost like a maple syrup with something in the background that’s a little like pancakes.

Sipping…. I’m tasting more caramel than anything. It’s not like other caramel teas I’ve had as this one tastes a little bit burnt. It’s almost like burned caramel with maple syrup drizzled on top. Ew.

I’ve never had pineapple upside down cake so I’m not sure what this tea is supposed to taste like.. I really don’t taste much pineapple at all and I’m disappointed that I am tasting caramel instead of cake. It’s certainly drinkable, but the flavor is getting to be overwhelming.

This one is quite powerful, IMO, and tasted to me like heavily caramelized sugar (which is reminiscent of the lovely edges of pineapple upside down cake to me). No pineapple though.

This one reminded me of caramel corn! I was disappointed that I didn’t taste any pineapple :(

I wish it was a bit more than burnt caramel for me. I’m glad that I’m not the only one who didn’t taste pineapple!
