Now.. this is how this tea is supposed to taste like!

Now.. this is how this tea is supposed to taste like!I did a tasting note a few weeks back when I first got this tea – and after a couple tries (though I was making it as regular steeped tea) it wasn’t turning out so good. I found if you steeped it quick I get the nice rum taste, which went away once the tea cooled. If over steeped, the black tea overpowers and the whole thing just tastes like bittery black tea.

Poured into a mug with heated vanilla soy and honey and WOW very nice.

Very nice drink as a treat in the morning, or a snuggle next to the fire treat. It truely is like drinking butter and rum.. without the extra calories.

The latte is amazing, but on it’s own it is pretty temperamental. I don’t do lattes that often, but if you love tea lattes give this one a go! <3
