Rooibos Tea / Flavoured
$7.75 for 50g
First Impressions
This is another tea that I purchased from DavidsTea in one of their ‘rainbow’ tins. It is 85g of Birthday Cake tea in a red tin, which worked out to be $15 per tin or 3 tins for $30. I find that this lid is a bit tougher to remove than the tin for my Cream of Earl Grey, also by DavidsTea. I had a lot of high hopes for this tea because of it’s name and I had read reviews about it before online. The tea comes in a sealed plastic bag that is resealable. There is a very in-your-face vanilla cake smell that reminds me of boxed cakes or grocery store sheet cakes. The smell almost has a bit of a pancake syrup or artificial maple syrup quality to it. The sprinkles are very pretty addition to the vanilla cake-scented tea.
Birthday Cake has a lot of ingredients. It contains: red and green rooibos, honeybush, sprinkles, ice cream bits, natural and artificial flavouring. If you’re allergic to any colouring additives, this tea contains: Yellow 5 Lake, Blue 1 Lake, Red 40 Lake, Red 3, Blue 1, Red 40.
