I got this in a swap recently and was so excited to try it. I admit it, I love Teavana’s CocoCaramel Sea Salt herbal tea, so I had to. The first cup I had I brewed it too long,forgetting it wasn’t also an herbal but it didn’t get too bitter for me. Through both brewings I could taste the caramel, not so much the sea salt. The second time I brewed it I got a little more of the sea salt taste, but I still taste it much more in Teavana’s blend.
As much as I wanted to like this better than Teavana’s, it just didn’t do it enough for me. So thankfully, Teavana has their heavenly sale right now and I got a pound of CocoCaramel Sea Salt for like $15. Funny how they can still make a profit with tea less than $1 an ounce though…hmmmm…
