I’m not sure I like this base for this tea. The flavors are quite heavy, and while they are pretty accurate (right down to the icing!), it overpowers the green and I can’t taste it all that well. This has a strong molasses flavor that’s almost burnt, with some icing and spice. It definitely does taste like a pastry. This is personal preference at work, but with flavored teas I usually prefer them if I can taste the base, so this one is not my favorite.
