Caramel

I must be odd because I don’t like the way this tea smells in the bag but it smells alright once it’s steeped. But my goodness, the taste. It is all caramel. The black tea makes a nice base but it kind of gets lost in the yummy-ness of the caramel flavor. It begs for a bit of sweetness and is greatly enhanced by it. Dairy makes it taste like a caramel candy but it muddies the tea for me. A bit of sugar makes this tea addicting. I want to try it iced now!

This tea is just okay, nothing special. The first time I prepared this tea it seemed weak. I brewed stronger the second time, but it still seemed kind of weak and tasteless. Tried with stevia only, as well as almond milk plus stevia. Not terrible, but there are better caramel teas out there.

After a too-weak second steep attempt with Kashmiri Chai (I did 5 mins, but next time, I’ll do it longer, and hopefully that’ll work better), I thought I’d try this one! :)

The leaves just smell sooo yummy. Mmmm caramel. Still smells like caramel when brewed, but there’s definitely still some black tea scent in there.

And the taste? Smooth, black tea with a hint of caramel. It’s got a light sweetness to it that doesn’t overpower the tea. It’s yummy! I can’t complain. :)

I did knock the steeping time down to 3 mins from Adagio’s suggested 5 mins. That steeping time definitely seems to work, at least for me.

Having a hard time deciding if I like this. Smells amazing and was taunting me as I drove to work but then when I tasted it I get an odd burnt taste. As I continue to drink it I am not noticing the burnt taste as much and the caramel flavor, though subtle, is coming through more.

This is one of my favorite all-purpose teas. It’s wonderful hot or cold.

This is a very smooth tea- a good black base, with just the right amount of caramel flavor, and not artificially sweet. This is an excellent afternoon/evening tea.

Sweet caramel flavored tea. Need I say more?

i didn’t really notice a lot of caramel flavor… a little sweet. just ok.

Hated this at first – something about the taste was very synthetic. But maybe I just steeped incorrectly or something, because I’m really enjoying it lately. Very sweet, burnt sugar taste without being cloying.
