Sipdown! (6 | 83)
Finished off this delightful infusion from Murchie’s, which really does taste like carrot cake IMO. Even though I’m not a rooibos lover, I think the base here works well because of the addition of green rooibos and honeybush. It certainly doesn’t have that traditional rooibos woody/medicinal flavor. It’s sweet but not overly so, and has nice subtle warm spices with a touch of cream cheese creaminess. I’m not a fan of chocolate chips in tea, but there don’t seem to be a ton included here, and they also don’t melt all that well, so it’s not an overly oily cuppa.
I made a Murchie’s order a few days ago, as I want to try their summer orange tea, and another bag of this made the cut!

@gmathis – I like honeybush so much more than rooibos so it makes the blend so much better IMO!
@ashmanra – I was wondering that the other day, it’s been a while since I’ve tried that one, but I don’t think it was a favorite for me. I think this is the first carrot cake blend that I’ve actually repurchased.
I can’t resist a carrot cake tea! I really need to go ahead and make a Murchie’s order!
Always happy to be an enabler! XD
The honeybush sounds like a really nice touch.
How does it compare to Simpson & Vail Carrot Cake Cupcake, one of our fave caffeine free teas?

Good to know! Thank you!
