Ice Cream Cake

Black Tea by DAVIDsTEA

Let them drink tea

Does life get any better than chocolate cake? Well…what about chocolate ice cream cake? It’s basically the king of desserts – rich, sweet and creamy. And with this decadent black tea blend, your favourite indulgence is just a sip away. It has everything you want in a dessert: white chocolate vanilla, carob, sprinkles, and little pieces of freeze-dried ice cream. Try it with a dollop of whipped cream. And a cherry on top.

Ingredients: Black tea, carob, ice cream bits, white chocolate pieces, vanilla, rainbow sprinkles, natural and artificial flavoring.

Allergens: Dairy and soy

First Tea today, had a craving for something sweet, this is a solid tea very sweet but a little too much stevia for my taste. You can really taste artificial sweetener and that is not my favorite flavor… once you get past that the tea is creamy in the mouth and tastes somewhat like ice cream, not bad but i probably wouldn’t buy it again though

ahh this one is so strange! i really can smell the chocolate, the vanilla and the strawberry all at once.
it smells milky, like ice cream, and a bit more toasty, which is probably coming from the black tea.
really interesting. everything combined makes it kind of a mash of flavours in your mouth, but it’s not bad.
the strawberry and chocolate go well with the vanilla coming along at the end. i find the sprinkles and stevia barely sweeten it at all, just a little hint to convince you it’s a desserty tea.
i did steep this using one of the DAVIDsTEA filter bags, which are really fine, so i didn’t get any ‘scumminess’ that some of the other reviews mention. and to be honest, i don’t really like to see those colourful sprinkles with all their colour oozing out as it steeps! so a bag is definitely the way to go for this tea, i think.
it’s very different! and i must say that after trying the Birthday Cake tea, i didn’t think i was going to like any of the other cake teas, but i think it was just that too-sweet rooibos. the black tea is definitely a good pairing for these flavours.
overall, i like it! a nice novelty tea to have around, i won’t stock up but i will probably get some more just to have :)

I’m normally skeptical about dessert teas as I find they taste very little like an actual dessert. However, I really really enjoy this Ice Cream Cake tea. It tastes like a cup of orange pekoe tea with milk and sugar mixed in. There is a natural sweetness and creaminess to it that perfectly balances with black tea base. Its relaxing and delicious and it actually satisfies the sugar craving (which is surprising). I bought a sample baggie, but I’m going to have to go back and buy a tin of it now. Its also fantastic iced.

A refreshing cool early autumn evening,all is still and serene for a Friday. So while listening to the nostalgic sounds of KSQM and reading through “Bel Ami” I chose this delicious offering. The flavors of the ice cream is really well emulated in the blend. The sweetness is not too overpowering and satisfies the craving for dessert without the added calories. The warm fragrance adds to the effect of the tea and subtly paints the picture of that slice of cake. It’s definitely a keeper for the sweet tooth. <3

This is bloody delicious! I wish I’d bought some when it was out, as it looks like it doesn’t exist anymore… :(

This tea is one of my favorites. Very disappointed to see it discontinued. Please bring back!

My favourite of the 3 cake inspired teas (the other 2 being Birthday Cake & Chocolate Cake) that came out around the Spring of 2012. It’s decidedly the sweetest of the 3, but not tooth-achingly so (but I’m a fatty and I like pie, so your mileage on that may vary). Rather similar to Birthday Cake, but this one has caffeine where Birthday Cake does not. Alas, as I am sensitive to caffeine.

Out of all of the ‘cake collection’ this was my favorite. Unfortunately, I made myself a bit sick of it as it is a sweeter, heavier tea, and it came out when it was cold outside, so I was drinking a lot of it hot. It is really good, but doesn’t taste that much like ice cream cake!

I should have probably known “Ice Cream” would come out sweeter than a lolly pop dipped in ice cream. I fan of sweet teas but do love some sort of flavour in my tea however; this is not the flavour I crave when I needs a pick me up. I can not even smell the tea in the bag anymore with out a gagging reflex. I love a majority of Davids tea but not picking up any ice cream teas again!

Ice cream cake tea smells like equal sweetner and tastes like equal sweetner. Sadly I purchased 100g of it and disliked it after the first sip. It’s way too sweet and the taste made me nauceous. I’m sad about it because the idea of it seemed so appealing. Oh well, one tea out of a few hundred isn’t bad. Lol!

This tea smells amazing – truly like ice cream cake. When steeped the flavour isn’t as strong but it is still yummy and sweet.

I wanted to love this, but didn’t! Smells delicious, but ends up looking murky in the mud (weird filmy stuff on top). And the aftertaste was strange. Not going to purchase it again.

Out of all four of DAVIDsTEA’s cake teas, this one is by far my favorite!

I’ve started noticing when you show all three Cake Teas to a customer, they hold onto one longer than the others. This one is not my favourite – it has an odd smell, but I do like the taste. It’s very smooth and rich.

Not a tea you need to sweeten.

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who thought it smelled like booze! By opening the bag I thought there was some alcohol in it, but I digress. Personally I do enjoy this tea but I prefer it cold with lots of honey. I was expecting it to be smoother and milky like ice cream, but it’s still sweet and the ice cream bits do obtain the actual taste of ice cream!
