Birdgerton Queen's Cake from Republic of Tea: a crossover to Queen Charlotte

 

Queen's Cake tea, one in The Republic of Tea's Bridgerton collection

The Republic of Tea has brought more fun to the "ton", with its latest edition of Bridgerton-inspired tea, taken from the new Bridgerton-inspired "Queen Charlotte" and we're still catching up.

We recently wrote on "Queen Charlotte", the latest Netflix series that aired this month. This is a an entertaining twist on history, and as noted by BTS, it pairs nicely with Queen's Cake tea, which we recently added to our Bridgerton tea collection. (See our review from June, 2022, of the Duke and Duchess Honey Breakfast tea).

Queen's Cake, part of Bridgerton teas - to be followed by Queen Charlotte teas

The Queen's Cake is an herbal tea consisting of green rooibos, orange peel and licorice root with added natural flavors of French vanilla, black current, lemongrass and lemon. This tea comes in teabags and label instructions set steeping time between 5 and 7 minutes.

Queen's Cake's label instructions, steep 5 to 7 minutes and enjoy . . .with no scandal and remorse

Full disclosure, I'm not a fan of licorice and for rooibos I fall into the category of "it depends". With the Queen's Cake, these flavors are trumped with a heavy dose of French vanilla, which solves one tasting issue while creating another. It's quite sweet, but after all, it is "cake". 

We'd suggest this tea may be a fill-in when you're looking for dessert without the calories and tea without caffeine. 

And, if you do choose to indulge in the Queen's Cake, we also recommend following the other instructions on the label:  "sip like a royal and enjoy this decadent tea with no scandal and no remorse".

The Republic of Tea now carries a dedicated tea collection for "Queen Charlotte".
