Taster’s Review:

This is a really nice tea. Maybe it is the cold weather and the holiday season but it makes me feel festive. I am sure this tea would also be amazing in the summer, cold brewed.

On first sip it reminded me a little bit of Constant Comment but trust me there is no comparison! This is by far and above better and has far more layers to it than a simple orange spiced tea.

The spice is balanced so perfectly and does not take over the wonderful citrus.

Often a tea will be named with “cake” in the title, or something indicating it should taste like cake, but this one really does and you won’t be disappointed in the bake-y goodness of this cup.

On the other hand, the sweetness is not over done and the cocoa nibs offer a perfect amount of chocolate goodness. I really love the way that sTEAp Shoppe handles the chocolate flavor in their teas, it tastes like good chocolate.

The aroma is intoxicating and the color of the cup is delightful to look at.

A tea that could be served at parties to please everyone.

All of the ingredients in this tea blend perfectly to make a well balanced delicious dessert or any time tea.
