Cameron B. drank Frosted Orange Roll by Savoy Tea Co

4398 tasting notes

Sipdown! (21 | 218)

I love those Pillsbury orange rolls in the can! Man, I haven’t had them in forever… Might need to be a guilty pleasure purchase the next time I’m at the grocery store. :P

This tea is tasty, but honestly I don’t get much orange from it. It does taste like cinnamon rolls to me, complete with frosting. But just the regular ones, not the orange variety. I do get a little bit of a citrusy note at the very end of the sip, which makes for a refreshing finish.

Very enjoyable desserty tea, but perhaps a bit too similar to some that I already have for me to purchase it.

Flavors: Bread, Cinnamon, Citrus, Icing, Pastries, Smooth, Sweet

Pillsbury rolls are exactly what this one brings to mind! I associate it with cooler weather, so my tin is hibernating on the shelf, but I wonder how it would do as a latte…

It’s definitely a fall sort of tea IMO. I bet it would be tasty as a latte, but would maybe require a lot of leaf for the flavor to come through.

Bio

Hi, I’m Cameron!

I’m a 30-something software engineer currently living in Austin, Texas with my husband and our two pugs. I tend to cycle between my different hobbies, and they include piano, knitting, video games, board games, miniature painting, planners, bento, Korean skincare, and – of course – TEA! But really, what I’m best at is “collecting” hobby-related things… ;)

~ 2025 SIPDOWN CHALLENGE! ~
- July sipdowns: 15
- Total 2025 sipdowns: 118

I prefer my tea lukewarm or at room temperature and without milk or sugar. I steep Western style, and fluctuate between using big mugs or small teapots depending on the season.

I am always up for a swap! Just let me know if you’d like to try something in my cupboard.

Tea Preferences:
I enjoy both flavored and unflavored teas in many forms. These days, I drink mostly flavored teas, and I tend to gravitate most toward black, green, oolong, and herbal varieties. I do have a special fondness for straight Japanese green teas, however.

I do not sweeten my teas, and pre-sweetened teas are usually too sweet for me. I also do not enjoy stevia (or monkfruit, etc.).

I tend to reach for fruitier flavors rather than desserty ones these days, but I do have favorites from both categories. Willing to try anything once! There are a few ingredients/flavors that aren’t generally my jam, such as coconut, rose, lavender, and chocolate flavoring. But I also have teas that I love with some of those things, too! :)

Favorite Companies:
3 Leaf
Bird & Blend
Dammann Frères
Harney & Sons
Kyoto Obubu Tea Farms
Lupicia
Old Barrel Tea Co
Simpson & Vail
Taiwan Tea Crafts
TeaVivre

Tea Rating Scale:
90-100: Outstanding! Permanent cupboard resident
80-89: Great – a possible staple
70-79: Good, but I wouldn’t buy it
60-69: It’s decent
50-59: Meh… I may or may not have finished the cup
40-49: Ick. Couldn’t finish it.
00-39: Repulsive, I spat it out

I will sometimes refrain from rating a tea if I feel I’m too biased due to my personal dislikes, or if I suspect the sample has been compromised by age or scent contamination.
