It smells like birthday cake. However, the flavors are definitely those of the flowers that are inside. It’s a bit of a disappointment that it’s not a stronger cake flavor. I may send it to my cousin in college who enjoyed it when we tried it the first time last weekend. Maybe it’s better with milk and sugar? I’m out of milk and sugar does a little something for the tea, but thinking the milk will help.
The first thing I noticed about this tea was how darned pretty it looked in the package. The bits of purple and yellow (flowers of some sort I think) throughout really make it look festive. I brewed it with boiling water (minus a few seconds) for between 4 and 5 minutes (tried it at slightly different times but didn’t notice too much of a difference). Like all the 52teas black teas I’ve tried it’s a forgiving tea so if you go over a bit it doesn’t hurt the flavor. I was a little disappointed that there wasn’t more of a flavor to this aside from a nondescript sweet overtone with a smooth finish. Not really all that birthday cake-y, but it was good for what it was. I didn’t dislike it, but I wasn’t blown away either. A good starter from 52teas if you’re not feeling adventurous enough to try one like the maple bacon flavor. Yes, really.
Wow. We are really striking out with you. I’m sorry about that. Yours are the lowest scores we’ve gotten from anyone. I’ve had a lot of people who really enjoyed each of the teas you’ve disliked, but I guess everybody’s different.
I still have two to go and am really enjoying the cinnamon fig rooibos, perhaps I should go back and see what I wrote about it. I have not hated any of the teas at all, please don’t get me wrong. I love your company and what you do. It is so creative!
tried it this morning with milk and sugar and now it’s quite perfumy. Not sure what I did to get that effect. Like it better with no milk.
