drank Lemon Cake Tea by Red Rose
1935 tasting notes

Probably it was Shae who sent me a few tea bags of this tea; but I just put them into my stash in the place which I don’t check often and how surprised I have been to see so many teas there, so neglected!
So, this was in closed zip-lock bag, so I took it out and brought to work. Because only flavoured black tea I have there is Earl Grey (from Czech company), which isn’t very good in fact; and I don’t want to have huge stash in the office as I am not sure how long I will stay there (I may work in different office, not company — at least for now). I just looked and see this is caffeine-free blend. It’s not flavoured black tea? :O

I digressed greatly from the tea I haven’t even started writing about…
Well, honestly it surprised me how sweet it is. Not in a bad way, however I thought it is definitely more sour.
But it’s fine and definitely easy drinkable, in easy preparation method so I don’t have to take care too much, which is definitely a virtue for me in those stressful work days from early hours.

Not tasting much of the cake either recently; the pastry flavour is a little bit missing, but yes, I will finish my small stash of this fast.

Shae and others who joined me in the TTB last time I took part, thank you. And also thank you Devon that I actually could try that and I was really sure I need it to have with me. Now I have… and maybe I am not that much impressed anymore, but still, I like it. No tossing out.

A work friend gave me a sample of a Red Rose dessert tea, strawberry cheesecake, maybe? that was so sweet it was nasty.

But still better having cake flavoured tea than cake itself. At least for our body weight :D
