289 Tasting Notes
Dry Leaf Nose: Blueberry and oceanic nose, sweet and fruity with a sea-shore edge.
Liquor: Clear green liquor with a blueberry and oceanic nose – interesting, because blueberries often flourish in geographical locations that are close to the ocean
Flavour: The blueberry note is prominent but definitely challenged by the sea lettuce which adds a new dimension to the blend. The cranberry adds sweetness and the green tea contributes to the entire flavour.
Preparation
Dry Leaf Nose: Fruity with the kiwi making a primary appearance and the apple sweetening the nose. The tea taste is apparent, but sits in the background.
Liquor: Green-gold liquor, clear and aromatic with the fruit above the green tea.
Flavour: Interesting kiwi notes are prominent with the citrus note supporting this. The apple pieces are sweetening the liquor and the green tea notes are apparent and add a soothing and classic roundness to the blend.
Preparation
Dry Leaf Nose: Very rose-like with the green tea supporting the floral notes; some fruitiness.
Liquor: Green-gold liquor with a rose aroma rising along with green tea oils.
Flavour: Rose is definitive and balances well with the Chinese green tea while the rosehips add a fruity quality that works to smooth the liquor.
Preparation
Sounds yummy! Didn’t see it when I ordered this week online so I assume it’s not out yet? BTW, I have to mention the exceptional customer service I experience with you at all times here in Montreal. I placed my order on Monday, and not only did it arrive at my door 2 days after, but the lovely Natalie made sure I get the samples I requested, I love you guys!

Dry Leaf Nose: Neapolitan ice cream
Liquor: Golden-brown colour, with a sweet ice cream aroma.
Flavour: Reminiscent of rich ice cream, with the tea playing a nice supporting role. Nice and sweet.
Preparation
Dry Leaf Nose: A light cake aroma with notes of vanilla frosting.
Liquor: Rosy reddish-brown cup, with a light cake aroma and notes of vanilla frosting.
Flavour: Excellent cake flavour! The rooibos shows through well, mixing together with the other ingredients for a perfect sweetness.
Preparation
Is there a red-rooibos-free variety? I get migraines from red rooibos teas, although so far, green rooibos is safe. Just curious!
Unfortunately, this is the only option for the time being but not the only cake tea that we’re launching this April.
So excited for this tea words can’t describe! Love all things birthday cake flavoured!
Oooh! This sounds good! Hopefully the rooibos isn’t too prevalent, since I am not overly fond of it.
K..so really not that excited anymore…and kida disappointed! Went online today to purchase and saw the ingredients list:
Rooibos, honeybush, green rooibos, freeze-dried ice cream bits (Milkfat and nonfat milk, corn syrup, sugar, high fructose corn syrup, strawberry puree(strawberries, hight fructose corn syrup, sugar water, modified food starch, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, FD&C Red #40), whey, cocoa (processed with alkali) stablilized and emulsified by mono and diglycerides, guar gum, cellulose gum and carrageenan, articifical flavoring*, Red #40, and vegetable annatto color), sprinkles (Sugar, corn starch, partially hydrogenated veg. oil, soy lecithin, dextrin, confectioner’s glaze, natural/artificial flavoring*, Red 40 Lake, Yellow 6 Lake, Carnauba wax, Yellow 5 Lake, Blue 1 Lake, Red 3 and Red 40).
:( Your teas are normally much more natural…wish you could have made it with better ingredients! Unfourtunately won’t be buying this one!
Ooh, hmmm. High fructose corn syrup is definitely to be avoided. Might have to give this one a pass based on this ingredient list.
It does happen to be called BIRTHDAY CAKE so I’ll give it try regardless of the ingredients ..it’s an indulgence tea so it shouldn’t be a surprise that it’s an INDULGENCE of ingredients ..not bad to have one once in a while…moderation always though. and to each their own…cup of tea.
It’s on my order list right now..can’t wait to try!
