Red Velvet Cake

I didnt really like this one the first time I tried it, I found that it had an after taste but after a while it seemed to grow on me. The smell is delicious…definetely a dessert tea!

Love this. So much that after I received my sample from darby (thank you!) I ran to DT and got my own bag. It’s delicious! Brings happy feelings similar to a warmed up chocolatey dessert. I don’t find this to be overly sweet or overly chocolatey. It’s delicious on a winter’s night!

I brought this out to keep awake and when the smell hit me I felt like I was in heaven. I wanted to devour this tea! I did not care! Even if I did not enjoy it! Sadly, that feeling faded.

After waiting for it to steep, my initial taste warranted nothing. I had no taste of sugar or cake or any type of dessert. It tasted like, well, hot water. Only after I added a dreaded cube of sugar – as honey was not on hand – did I finally taste a hint of sweetness. I was disheartened. I was excited to have a tasty tea that could keep me up but the lack of flavours makes this miss the cut.

It is not bad, not by the least but I wanted more and this did not deliver.

I love this tea. Though it doesn’t taste exactly like its name, it is fantastic.

This isn’t bad. It’s kinda reminiscent of red velvet cake. It probably doesn’t help when there are actual red velvet cupcakes in the house…

I didn’t enjoy this tea when I tried it about five years ago, but I was happy to give it another try when I saw some in the TTB. Yeah, the flavor here is just so artificial and sweet and strange. It doesn’t remind me of red velvet, but the flavor does sort of remind me of a jar of store-bought icing. But that also isn’t right for red velvet cake since those usually have cream cheese icing. Unfortunately, I just find this blend to be fake and bad.

Smells wonderful. Has a light vanilla, cake, chocolatey taste. Works well with milk as well as on it’s own. I think frothed milk would be a great idea.

This is the first tea I have ever tried from Davids Teas, It’s not bad but it could have been better, maybe I made it wrong? It wasn’t really sweet and I could barely taste the flavor, the sugar I added seemed to enhance the flavor though, I used the black tea setting on my kettle and steeped it for like 6 to 8 minutes, as you can tell I got distracted sine it’s supposed to be a 3-5 steep time.

Love this delicious cakey tea! Favorite method is definitely as a latte especially with chocolate oat milk.

One of my favorite ultra-sweet teas. I thought it was discontinued but it must be seasonal, should order more sometime.

I have a low bar for these ultra-sweet teas. Basically if it’s not too tart and not too artificial tasting, I’ll probably like it.
