Who doesn’t love a big piece of carrot cake? We created this blend in the spirit of our fave fall treat, with rich black tea and classic carrot cake spices. So sip away and have that extra cup, no need to count calories here!
Brewing Instructions: To prepare a perfect cup of black tea, use 1 tsp loose leaf tea per 6-8oz of boiling water and steep 2-5 minutes.

Tea #7 from Traveling Tea Box C
Maybe it’s because my last experience with a carrot cake tea was so bad, but I really liked this! I didn’t get carrot cake, but I liked what I got I guess. It kind of tastes like cooler weather.
First off, though, it doesn’t smell like Burt’s Bees Carrot Day Cream (I’m looking at you DAVIDsTEA…) which was a huge plus for me.
The black base here is mellow, and present but not overpowering. It does pick up some astringency as it cools as well. The taste was cinnamon-y and spiced (got a bit of nutmeg, maybe a tiny amount of all spice). I could get out-of-the-box spice cake out of this maybe, but it needs more richness, maybe some pineapple chunks or some creaminess or some depth before it hits the carrot cake mark.
I’m probably still going to take a couple more teaspoons from the tea box because this is totally blustery morning tea and we’re getting close to that time of year again.
While this tea doesn’t taste very much like carrot cake, it’s not a bad tasting tea. It has some spiciness that’s not overpowering. I added some creamer and a touch of sweetener (maple syrup) and I found this to be a pleasant dessert type tea.
I tried a re-steep – didn’t work. Had to dump it. Bleh.
i wish tealish sold smaller sizes…
I agree – some of their tea’s are going to be a challenge to finish ‘cos they are only ok there’s too much…
on the flip side, it means i don’t order from them and there’s less risk to me falling in love with yet another tea i must have hahahaha
haha – I also won’t be ordering from them for that very reason, but – insert sigh – I’m sure the next greatest tea that I must always have (I usually find one in every order or swap) is still to come :D
I want to thank scribbles for including this in our swap, I’ve been dying to try a carrot cake tea. I’m not going to give this one a rating until I make another cup, but my first cup didn’t remind me of carrot cake in the slightest. This has a nice mellow black base to it and only a hint of cinnamon. I think it needs a little more depth before it resembles carrot cake. Not a bad cup of tea, it just isn’t living up to its name.
this review made me chuckle….. i love pineapple in my carrot cake. sigh.
I’ve never actually had a carrot cake with pineapple in it. Sounds like a yummy addition, I’ll have to try that next time I make one.
Oh lowrd I must have! especially for the autumn season!!!
I can’t wait!
