So I really wanted to try this one when it came out last year because I LOVE lemon pound cake, but I never got around to it. I’ve also really come to like oolongs in the last 6 months or so, so I decided to take a risk and just get this as one of my free 50g of tea as it was about to expire and there wasn’t anything I really wanted to stock up on.
Like a lot of teas from DAVID’s these days, particularly the more gimmicky ones, I have mixed feelings about this one. While drinking it, I find it tastes very much like Froot Loops, which is not strictly unpleasant, but it’s not a flavour I’m really after.
But the aftertaste… Spot on lemon pound cake with a slightly lemony frosting. And unlikely a lot of DAVID’s cake teas, this one isn’t drying at all. The lemon notes in the aftertaste manage to come off as not artificial, unlike when you’re actually drinking the tea, and there’s a lovely creaminess that is just to die for.
Flavors: Cake, Creamy, Lemon
