Red Leaf's site describes this tea as an "excellent dessert tea", and it certainly is. You wouldn't think by looking at it (or even from the name), but one taste will make you believe it, too.At first glance, it looks like it would taste more like coffee than dessert; the blend itself is a mix of roots and seeds, mostly, which generally evoke a much earthier mental image than dessert. Even once it's brewed up, it takes on a dark hue that looks quite a bit like coffee. Even reading the ingredient list, I wasn't quite sure what to expect of this one. Sure, the description said is was a dessert tea, but I had a hard time believing it. One whiff of it, though, and all doubts flew out the window. The brewed cup smells like a decadent coffee cake, and the taste falls into the same category. It does have a bit a savory flavor alongside the sweetness, but it compliments it surprisingly well. A dash of milk and bit of sweetener and this tea makes a perfectly acceptable (and much healthier) alternative to the traditional dessert.
Bottom Line: Any fans of dessert teas will love this one. Red Leaf has some pretty unique blends, and even this otherwise fairly standard dessert tea has a lovely twist. A must-try for anyone who's a fan of dessert!
