I was so excited to try this tea. I used 2 teaspoons for 16oz of water and brewed for 5 minutes and think I may up it next time as it was a bit weak. I tested it unsweetened and only tasted black tea with a tiny bit of malt. Adding sweetener brought out stronger flavors. I can taste a bit of cake, I also got the maple note that everyone seems to mention. What I didn’t get was red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting.
It’s far from horrible, but it isn’t quite as good as some make it out to be. I think next time I’ll up the tea content and add some milk.
