Ok tho weak flavor
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars

I served last night to several women. No one gave any comments on it which was disappointing since I gave a spiel about the company & the teas. The flavor was muted & I guess I like teas with more bite & tang. If you like mild flavor, it is for you.

Delightful flavor to savor anytime. A deseret after a meal, or a night- cap for a restful sleep. Make strong and sip cold to refresh, needs nothing added to enjoy.

Who knew you could enjoy carrot cake in liquid form?
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars

The Cuppa Cake teas are unique and tasty dessert teas hard/impossible to find anywhere else. Have always been a fan of Strawberry Shortcake and Lemon Chiffon so gave Carrot Cake a try. Not used to a vegetable flavor in tea but they pulled it off with a little bit of that cake spiced added. Maybe some whipped cream can add to the dessert theme? Not a bad tea especially if you love carrot cake!

Hint of orange?
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

My husband loves carrot cake so this was an easy choice. He notices and likes the hint of orange in it. Our daughter, on the other hand, didn't like it. She felt that it was weak, but she may not have steeped it long enough, as it recommends up to 7 minutes, which is unusual.

I generally like the Republic of Tea's "dessert" tea selection, but this one missed the mark. The spice blend did not take like carrot cake because the licorice flavor was overpowering.

I always like trying the different Cuppa flavors, although this one isn't my fave and I probably wouldn't order again.. it does have kinda an artificial taste to it that detracts from the other good flavors going on, though half n half does improve it for sure! My husband likes it though!

Interesting tea with which to flavor foods

Carrot Cake teabags are great to use to flavor cooking water for white and brown rice for side dishes and desserts. They also impart a nice flavor to cooking water for Polenta, oatmeal and Quinoa.

yum
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

And again, I am amazed that TRoT can get such authentic flavor in a tea! I got warm spices and sweet cake AND carrot, but the carrot was very light. If they can get a stronger carrot flavor into this tea, I will give it a full 5 stars. If you prefer a light carrot taste, then this is for you.

Has a lot of “natural flavors”
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars

I really don’t like the taste of this tea. I’ve tried to get used to it, but it doesn’t taste like carrot cake and it sometimes gives me nausea. I noticed a lot of “natural flavors,” including butter flavor, walnut flavor, vanilla flavor, and biscuit flavor for some reason. Come on ROT, I expect better from you. Either add real ingredients or just keep it simple and skip them (do we really need biscuit flavoring?).

Covers All Those "Carrot Cake Bases!"
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Whilst not outright "terribly carrot-ty," R of T's cozy cuppa does indeed capture the captivating aromatics of a freshly-baked carrot cake! This warm and satisfying sipper offers a lusciously recognizable blend of the fruit, spice, walnut and creamy flavor elements for which this beloved dessert is renowned. With delicious nods to each of its enticing ingredients, this taste-tempting tisane covers all those "carrot cake bases" when the unique craving for this enduringly popular sweet n' spicy treat comes calling.

Not a fan sadly..
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars

I purchased a few teas and lived them so I dove in and purchased a bunch more including all the "cuppa cake" teas. I am not a fan of any of them to be honest. The carrot cake is sweet for some reason and tastes like artificial sweetener or stevia. Leaves an aftertaste. Now I have a bunch of canisters I can't do anything with sadly.

Favorite Carrot Cake Tea

First Republic of Tea flavor I did not like
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars

I love Republic of Tea - I especially love the chocolate flavors (chocolate banana, chocolate mate) and the lemon cake flavor. I love Carrot Cake, so I thought I would try this flavor next. It's too cloyingly sweet and really does not taste anything like carrot cake to me. I just can't enjoy it...and can't give it away either (no one in my family loves it).

Tastes surprisingly like carrots
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

Well spiced blend but the carrot is a bit strong for me. Perhaps I wanted more "cake" than "carrot" and should try the gingerbread next? My hubby loves actual carrot cake and says this tea is great, so I averaged my 3 stars and his 5 stars for an overall 4 star product. Bottom line: I'm glad I tried it, but I'll get a different flavor next time.

This actually tastes like carrot cake!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Steeped/ made the tea as directed, absolutely loved it. Like the ROT's other dessert teas, this does best steeped for as long as humanly possible and with some milk/cream and sweetener. My partner, an avid carrot cake fan said this hits the spot for when he wants to run to the bakery and get some, but doesn't want to gain weight lol. We are very happy with this! Has lots of depth and the notes of vanilla , butter and carrot all make for a bodied, wholesome flavor and mouthfeel. Have yet to try iced but this is wonderful as a hot drink for comfort. :)

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Since the reviews are a little mixed on this one, I wasn't sure if I wanted to buy it. But I decided to take a chance, and I'm so glad I did! Its a really lovely tea! I think if you're expecting it to taste like boxed carrot cake with lots of frosting, you'll be disappointed. But if you're hoping for more of a homemade carrot cake, with just enough frosting/sweetness to offset the spices in the cake, you'll be pleasantly surprised!

Piece of Cake
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Having a cup of this tea is like having a slice of cake. It smells like raisins when opening the tin, which i think is from the licorice in it. After brewing, I can taste like a cream cheese frosting that reminds me of carrot cake. It has the spices that really distinguish it from other cakes. I do add a splash of cream and some caramel skinny syrup to sweeten it. If you like carrot cake, then this will be so enjoyable.

I can taste the smallest flavorings etc. My sense of taste is excellent. This tea has ZERO carrot, carrot cake, or cake flavor. It barely has a flavor at all.

Not what I hoped
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars

The can has very nice appearance, though mine came dented. But that's small potatoes. I just didn't care for the taste. I guess I discovered what I like about Carrot Cake is the fat content :-/ and the cream cheese frosting, neither of which is in this blend, naturally. It's not Republic of Tea's fault, just not to my taste.

Although I adore carrot cake, the taste of the tea, was... not as mouth watering as the smell of the tea was. I was only slightly disappointed with the taste, but the tea was still great. If you add just a tiny bit of cream, it was so much better, I don't normally put additives in my tea, but it worked well. I did finish the canister! I am willing to try the next cake tea as well soon!

I had high hopes for this after falling for the Caramel Vanilla Cuppa Cake blend, especially since it is caffeine free, but it has this odd aftertaste that lingers and overpowers the mild cake flavors.
