How did we do it? Vanilla sponge cake, yellow custard, rich chocolate frosting. It’s all here in the tea , somehow. Perfect for a mid-morning pick-up.
Ingredients: Black tea, natural & artificial flavors.

Undecided on this one…
The concept is so cool and I feel like it’s a really fun way to twist up a chocolate blend. Lord knows that Almost certainly has a lot of chocolate teas, so anything to make them feel differentiated is welcome in my books. However, Boston Cream Pie (the cake and the donut) seems like a much more complex flavour to execute that I think most people would assume. Primarily because there’s such a separation between the rich chocolate frosting and the creamy custard when you eat/experience them. Creating that separation in a tea? Ooph. Tough to make the flavours hit your palate at different times in different ways…
Anyway, all that to say… this is boozy. I mean, it tastes like chocolate and it tastes like cream and I feel like there’s the right amount of richness to the flavours while having a slightly more thick texture. Promising! But also it’s just such an alcoholic edge to all of that. I’m blaming it on too fresh flavouring that didn’t get the chance to properly air out before being packaged into the overwraps.
So, gonna wait before I make the last sachet and hopefully give the tea some time to settle into itself. We’ll see how the flavours read then…
Sipdown! (12 | 12)
I figured I would get this one out of the way since I most likely won’t like it. I am thankful there’s only one chocolate tea this month though! I’ve never had a Boston cream pie, but I have had the doughnut version. Not exactly the same, but I get the concept.
Unfortunately, this just tastes like a pile of artificial chocolate flavoring. It’s super boozy and the black base is actually quite musty and earthy, which makes for an odd combination. I don’t really taste anything resembling cake or custard, sadly.
As expected, not for me!
