    "content_text": "Dessert teas, in short: A dessert tea is a tea bag flavoured to taste of cake, biscuits, toffee or chocolate. Yorkshire Tea makes five on black tea, and Teapigs covers chocolate and caramel, including two blends with no caffeine.\nA dessert tea is an ordinary tea or herbal blend flavoured to taste like a pudding, a cake or a biscuit. Most are black tea with natural flavouring, so you brew them like a normal cuppa, and a few are herbal or rooibos blends with no caffeine.\nLast reviewed by the teas.co.uk team in November 2026.\nWhat counts as a dessert tea\nThere is no official category. The name covers any tea sold on a pudding flavour, and on our shelves that means three families: bakery flavours on black tea, chocolate blends, and caramel or vanilla blends. They sit inside the wider world of flavoured black tea bags.\nThe useful question before you buy is what the base is. A black tea base means caffeine and a cup that takes milk. A herbal or rooibos base means no caffeine and a lighter cup. If you would like sweetness with nothing added at all, our guide to naturally sweet teas covers that side.\nYorkshire Tea bakery brews\nTaylors of Harrogate lists five flavoured brews, and all five are in stock here. The maker gives the same recipe for each: black tea from Africa and India with natural flavouring. It also gives the same caffeine figure as standard Yorkshire Tea, about 48mg in an average cup made with 200ml of water and brewed for five minutes.\n\nBrewBaseCaffeineFlavour the maker describes\nYorkshire Tea Biscuit BrewBlack teaYesMalty biscuit. The maker's own site calls it Malty Biscuit Brew.\nCaramelised Biscuit BrewBlack teaYesCaramel and gentle spice, after crunchy continental biscuits\nCherry Bakewell BrewBlack teaYesA Cherry Bakewell\nSticky Toffee BrewBlack teaYesRich sticky toffee pudding\nVictoria Sponge BrewBlack teaYesVanilla and jam\n\nEach comes as a box of 40 bags. We have longer pages on Biscuit Brew, Sticky Toffee Brew and Cherry Bakewell tea, and a side by side in Yorkshire flavoured brews compared.\n\nChocolate and caramel from Teapigs\nTeapigs takes the chocolate end of the shelf, with three blends on three different bases.\n\nTeapigs Chocolate Flake is a black tea blended with chocolate. It contains caffeine and is the one to have with milk. We have more on it in our Chocolate Flake page.\nTeapigs Chocolate and Mint is a herbal blend of peppermint and cocoa, listed as caffeine free.\nTeapigs Rooibos Creme Caramel is rooibos with caramel, also listed as caffeine free.\n\nAll three are hard to find. When we checked on 13 November 2026, the Teapigs online shop did not list any of them, and we have not found a statement from the maker saying why. We have all three in stock today.\n\nLines we list that are out of stock\nThree Tetley dessert teas are in our catalogue but out of stock today: Tetley Chocolate and Mint Tart, Tetley Lemon Drizzle Cake and Tetley Digestive Biscuits. We have no restock date, so we are not promising one. Our Tetley Digestive Biscuit tea page explains what that blend is.\nYorkshire Tea Toast and Jam is also out of stock with us, and it is not among the five flavoured brews on the maker's site today. The closest things in stock are the brews in the table above.\nHow to brew and serve them\nBrew the black tea versions as you would a breakfast tea: freshly boiled water, three to five minutes, milk if you take it. Taste before you add sugar, because the flavouring already reads as sweet.\nGive the herbal and rooibos blends five minutes or a little longer. They have no tea leaf to turn bitter.\nThey also work next to the real thing. A biscuit flavoured tea with an actual biscuit is the obvious move, and our Border biscuits are on the same shelf.

Blends made with chocolate or caramel pieces are a different matter, so read the ingredients on the pack.\nDo dessert teas have caffeine?\nThe ones built on black tea do, and Yorkshire Tea gives about 48mg a cup for its flavoured brews. The peppermint and rooibos based blends above are listed as caffeine free.\nCan you put milk in a dessert tea?\nYes, in the black tea ones. They start from a breakfast style blend, which is made to take milk.\n\nReference noted\nRecipes, flavour descriptions and caffeine figures come from the maker: Yorkshire Tea: speciality black tea range, Malty Biscuit Brew, Caramelised Biscuit Brew, Cherry Bakewell Brew, Sticky Toffee Brew and Victoria Sponge Brew.
