TAZO Dessert Delights Glazed Lemon Loaf Herbal Tea

It's ideal for anyone who wants a sweet, dessert-like tea experience without caffeine or calories. Tea beginners love it because the familiar dessert flavor is approachable, preparation is simple, and it's forgiving to brew. People managing sweet cravings or looking for a calorie-free evening treat will get the most value. It's also a great office tea — the pleasant lemon cake aroma is a crowd-pleaser. However, if you prefer bold, strong-flavored teas, this probably isn't your match — reviewers consistently describe the flavor as delicate.

The biggest benefit reviewers mention is that it genuinely curbs dessert and sweet cravings — you get that satisfying dessert experience without any calories or sugar. It's also naturally caffeine-free, so you can drink it any time of day. Several people note it creates a pleasant aroma in their workspace, making it a nice office tea that won't just benefit you but anyone nearby who catches the scent.

It's not a weight loss tea in the traditional sense — it won't boost your metabolism or burn fat. But where it really shines, according to reviewers, is as a dessert replacement. Multiple people say it genuinely curbs their sweet cravings, and since it's zero calories and needs no sweetener, swapping an evening slice of cake for a cup of this tea is a real calorie saver. If managing sweet cravings is part of your weight loss strategy, it's a practical tool.

This is basically what it was made for. Reviewer after reviewer says it genuinely satisfies sweet cravings — the vanilla, lemon, and cake-glaze notes trick your brain into thinking you're having dessert. Six reviewers specifically mention the sweet dessert flavor, and several say they no longer reach for actual sweets when they have a cup in hand. If you have a sweet tooth but want to cut back on sugar, this is one of the more effective tea options out there.

Most reviewers say no — the blend has a naturally sweet, dessert-like quality that satisfies without adding anything. The vanilla and lemon-glaze notes give it an inherent sweetness. That said, some reviewers who find the flavor too subtle do add a touch of honey. And for an indulgent twist, one reviewer recommends simmering it with milk and a splash of maple syrup for a latte-style drink.

The benefits vary by blend. For this Tazo Lemon Loaf specifically, the main practical benefit reviewers highlight is craving control — it satisfies a sweet tooth without any sugar or calories. That's a real, tangible benefit if you're trying to reduce dessert intake. It's also caffeine-free and calorie-free, so it's a healthier swap for sugary drinks. You won't get the same antioxidant profile as traditional green or black tea, but the behavioral benefit of curbing sweet cravings is well-supported by multiple reviewers.

A typical cup of black tea has 40–70 mg of caffeine, while coffee ranges from 80–200 mg depending on the brew. But this Tazo Glazed Lemon Loaf has zero caffeine — it's an herbal blend, not a true tea. So if you're comparing this specifically to coffee, the answer is simple: 0 mg vs. 80–200 mg. That's what makes it a good evening or late-afternoon option.

Plain herbal tea is essentially calorie-free — you're looking at 0–5 calories per cup with nothing added. That's a big part of why reviewers love this as a dessert replacement: you get the sweet, cake-like experience without the caloric cost of actual lemon loaf cake. Of course, if you add milk, honey, or maple syrup (as some reviewers enjoy doing), you'll add calories accordingly.

Yes, and reviewers say it works really well iced. You can brew it hot and let it cool over ice, or cold-brew it by steeping a bag or two in cold water in the fridge for several hours. The lemon and vanilla notes come through nicely cold, and since reviewers say it doesn't need sweetener even when hot, you can keep it zero-calorie as an iced drink too. It's a great summer alternative to sugary lemonade.

It's actually one of the best office teas you can pick. Reviewers mention that the strong lemon cake aroma creates a pleasant environment for everyone nearby — not just you. It's caffeine-free so it works at any time of day, and the simple tea bag format means zero cleanup. Multiple reviewers specifically call it out as their go-to workplace tea.

Within TAZO's own Dessert Delights line, the Lemon Loaf stands out for its aromatic quality — the lemon cake scent is genuinely impressive and frequently praised. Compared to other dessert teas on the market, it leans toward the subtler, more aromatic end rather than bold flavor. If you've tried other dessert teas and found them too artificial or overly sweet, this one's more natural and refined approach might appeal to you. If you found them too weak, this will likely feel the same way.

Yes — and one reviewer specifically recommends it. The trick is to simmer the tea bag in milk (or your preferred milk alternative) with a splash of maple syrup. The lemon-vanilla-cake notes pair beautifully with the creaminess. It turns a delicate tea into something richer and more indulgent, almost like a warm dessert drink. This is a great option if you find the standard brew too subtle on its own.

The full pack contains 90 tea bags total — that's six boxes of 15 bags each. Be aware that some reviewers have reported receiving only a single box instead of all six, so double-check the listing details and quantity when ordering. At 90 bags, you're looking at roughly a three-month supply if you drink one cup a day.

For this Tazo Lemon Loaf, the process is simple: bring fresh water to a full boil (around 200–212°F), pour it over the tea bag, and steep for 5 to 7 minutes. Herbal teas generally need a longer steep than black or green teas to fully release their flavor. Reviewers note this one is forgiving with brew time — you won't get much bitterness even if you over-steep. No sweetener is needed since the blend already has a naturally sweet, dessert-like quality.

For bagged herbal tea like this Tazo Lemon Loaf, it's one tea bag per 8 oz (one cup) of boiling water. If you find the flavor too subtle — which some reviewers do mention about this blend — you can try using two bags per cup for a stronger lemon-cake flavor. For a whole pot, use one bag per cup of water you're adding.

For tea in general, the big three are antioxidants, hydration, and stress reduction. For this Tazo Lemon Loaf specifically, the top benefits are a bit different: first, it curbs sweet cravings without adding calories or sugar. Second, it's completely caffeine-free so you can drink it any time without affecting sleep. And third, the aromatherapy factor — multiple reviewers say the lemon cake scent alone is mood-lifting and makes their space smell great.

True herbal teas — including this Tazo Glazed Lemon Loaf — are naturally caffeine-free because they're made from herbs, flowers, and botanicals rather than the tea plant (Camellia sinensis). This particular blend is confirmed caffeine-free, making it safe for evening consumption or anyone avoiding caffeine. Just be aware that some "herbal" blends on the market do include ingredients like yerba mate or guayusa that contain caffeine, so always check the label.

For most people, yes — drinking herbal tea daily is perfectly fine, and this Tazo Lemon Loaf is caffeine-free so there's no concern about caffeine buildup. Several reviewers drink it as a daily afternoon treat or dessert replacement. However, one reviewer did mention experiencing an allergic reaction, so if you have known sensitivities to herbal ingredients, start with a small amount and see how you respond.

It really depends on what you're after. If you want a daily treat that satisfies sweet cravings without calories or caffeine, this Tazo Lemon Loaf fits that role well — reviewers specifically use it as a dessert replacement and afternoon ritual. For general wellness, chamomile or peppermint are classic daily choices. This one won't give you medicinal benefits, but as a daily indulgence that happens to be zero-calorie and caffeine-free, it does the job.

There are a few possible reasons. Herbal blends contain various plant compounds that some people are sensitive to — one reviewer of this Tazo Lemon Loaf actually reported an allergic reaction. If you feel off after drinking an herbal tea, you might be reacting to a specific botanical ingredient. Other common causes include drinking on an empty stomach or simply being unused to certain herbs. If it happens consistently, stop drinking it and consult a doctor.

Tazo has gone through some ownership changes over the years — it was originally founded in Portland, later acquired by Starbucks, and then sold to Unilever. Some loyal fans have noticed occasional changes in availability or formulation along the way. For this particular Glazed Lemon Loaf variety, some reviewers have noted inconsistent flavor between batches, which may be related to these broader brand transitions. The tea is still being produced and sold, but finding specific varieties in smaller pack sizes can sometimes be tricky.
