Total points for presentation for this tea. Red and white sprinkles! Milk and white chocolate chips! So pretty! It brews up a pretty reddish-brown color. The taste, though, falls a little flat. I’ve been finding that I prefer a lot of the David’s Teas I’ve been trying without adding anything (which is unusual for me), so I tried it first without sweetener. It tasted like vaguely creamy black tea. So, I added some sweetener and that did wake up the flavors quite a bit! Then I added some frothed milk which was a nice addition. Now the taste has a white chocolate start with a milk chocolate finish. It’s actually quite good and if they had called this tea something like chocolate decadence, it would have been spot on. But when I think of red velvet cake, the essential part is the cream cheese icing. AMIRIGHT?? I was hoping for that element and ended up a bit disappointed because it wasn’t present. This tea is still a super tasty dessert tea, just a little simple. Plus I prefer dark chocolate. Thanks Virginia for setting some of this aside for me amid the red velvet frenzy!

Yes.. Cream Cheese icing! Yummy stuff! Plus the chocolate… yummy combo. Too bad this tea was cute but didn’t live up to the flavor expectations :/

I totally agree with you on this one. Although I do enjoy it once in a while, I’ve stopped expecting red velvet from it. It just ain’t gonna happen.
