In the indulgent collection, consumers will find varieties like Orange Cinnamon Roll, [Aloha](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-protein-bar) Pineapple Chamomile and Ginger Peach [Cobbler](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seasonal-cobbler). As well as having flavors that are dessert-inspired, these teas were created to be enjoyed as guilt-free alternatives to traditional desserts—especially as they boast "less than 25 calories a drop." The dessert teas can be enjoyed either hot or cold and offer flavorful ingredient combinations. While the Orange Cinnamon Roll variety combines black assam tea, orange peel, cinnamon and clove, Alola Pineapple Chamomile is a fruity, floral and caffeine-free combination of pineapple and chamomile tea. Tea Drops also makes dessert-inspired tea flavors like Strawberry Shortcake and coming soon, Forest Berry Shortcake.
