I got a bit excited and ordered a whole tin of this one.
Sometimes, you take a risk and it pays off. Sometimes it doesn’t. Like this time.
Unfortunately, Carrot Cake is not for me. I wanted to like it. The description sounded so perfect. Oolong! Apples! Coconut! Carrots! What’s not to love?
But there’s a smell to this that I find very off-putting. Maybe it’s the mysterious “flavouring.” It’s artificial and unpleasant, and makes every sip a task to not inhale as I drink. Gives me a headache actually.
Anyway, I’ve since put the tin out in the common area for others to partake in, and there have been several people who have approached me to say how much they love it. Maybe I’m just crazy.
And maybe I’ll think twice next time before impulse-buying tea online…

Happy I read this….I was about to order a whole tin.
I hate the smell of carrot cake too, because they make the other ingredients so strong so it can withstand the resteeps as the oolong keeps on releasing flavour. Steeped, however is a whole different story. Unfortu you didn’t like it :’( return?
Omg the same thing happened to me but with the winter collection Hot Toboggan tea. Yeah I bought a whole tin of it too and I do not enjoy it at all. I feel ya.
