This is a really delicious tea and the “rum raisin” comes through in a nice strong yet sweet brew. I believe this tea is very close to Bread Pudding from The NecessiTeas and will try to figure out some direct comparisons. Indeed, the teas might be identical.
I love these flavored blacks that go strong on the flavor and don’t wimp out. This flavor is one that I am predisposed to like a lot (have you ever had a really great rum raisin ice cream??) and Lupicia brings it!

Yay! This note makes me happy… because I really love the bread pudding tea from NecessiTeas, but based on my poor experience with them, I’d rather not order from them again. It encourages me to find something that may be similar! And from a company I … need to place an order with anyways…
LiberTeas, I would be very interested to hear the response from your palate. I cannot guarantee that the teas are identical but the similarities are so very strong. I’ll be looking for your review with eager anticipation.
Lupicia has quite speedy delivery service and I’ve ordered from them twice. I think that they sell only in 50g units which are a good sampling point but not so great if you want to stock a pound of a tea!
Their tins are pretty but I prefer the “S bags” which are about $2.00 cheaper than the same amount of tea in a tin.I will no doubt cave in and order from them soon. I will definitely be sure to add this one to my list when I do so. There are a couple of teas I want to try from them as well… plus, I need to replenish my Earl Grey.
Do the bags from Lupicia reseal? Always been curious about that. Not that I don’t have my own containers.
Meghann – no. I just put the tea in one of my tins. :)
I either use my own containers OR use a paper clip—two large paper clips on either side of the bag work well especially if I plan to consume the tea fairly quickly.
Cool, great find. Wish there was a reasonable facsimile of Coco La Ven.
