David's Tea - Red Velvet Cake Tea Review

**All items were purchased by me. I'm not affiliated with any companies mentioned.**

I'm going to be doing a series on tea. I've recently updated the name of my blog to marry together two of my addictions: makeup and tea. I'm hoping to make this a series where I will review one tea from my stash each week and give you my opinion on it.

This week's tea is from David's Tea and is their Red Velvet Cake black tea. This was officially launched as their tea of the month during February but they had a soft launch of it on the site during the holidays. I actually grabbed one of the special holiday canisters during their post Holiday sale and have been happily drinking it ever since.

The ingredients in this loose leaf tea are as follows: Black tea, semi-sweet chocolate bits, white chocolate bits, beetroot powder, sprinkles, natural and artificial flavouring. Here it is in all its loose leaf gorgeousness. 

It really is such a photogenic tea

And here is how it fairs during the brew process:

All the little sprinkles floating around. These eventually dissolve for the most part and add to the sweetness of the tea. 

It brews up a nice deep reddish orange shade. 

I always add milk to my black teas. It kind of looks like a sugar cookie with the red particles from the sprinkles floating on top. 

And now for the part that you've been waiting for: Soooo, how does it taste? One word sums it up for me. This tea tastes Awesome! It tastes like liquid chocolate cake, but it has that signature edge to it that sets red velvet cake apart from just any old chocolate cake. They really nailed this tea. I love everything about this tea: the way it looks, the way it smells in the can, the aroma it sets off while brewing, and the smooth taste that it provides while drinking. I honestly have zero complaints about it and will be purchasing more once I work my way through my tin. 

This tea can be purchased on the David's Tea website at www.davidstea.com. Or if you are lucky enough to have a David's Tea store nearby, you can always check there. Sadly we don't have any in New Jersey yet.  

Are you a tea lover too? Let me know your thoughts if you've also tried this tea.
