Caramel Pear

First time I’ve had this in months and months, I think. Possibly since I bought it – Today I threw it in the travel mug and let it sit for 4 hours (still finishing it up). It’s yummy both hot and cold, though I didn’t get much caramel taste, between my cold and the insane steep time. I got a strong pear taste, almost sharp. Yummy, and I look forward to having some again when I can taste properly.

“For pear lovers” sounds about right! This is like… drinking a pear! Some reviews mention the pear flavour not tasting real, but I disagree… to me, it tastes exactly like this awesome pear nectar I used to buy. It war more like a liquid puree, 100% pears, and it was just too tasty to be true. Yes, the pear taste is really, really strong. In fact, I can’t taste any of the rooibos or caramel flavours – honestly, I don’t really mind, cause it’s so yummy. One does get the impression of it being sort of sweet, but at the same time, I think it’s only a result of such strong pear taste, it doesn’t actually taste sweet as if one had put sugar or stevia in it. The sweetness is a pear-sweetness, really. If you’re not into pears that much, skip this one!

Oh, I wanted to like this so much and yet . . . and yet. It’s very sweet, and I’m more of a savoury tea person. The pear flavour is overwhelming, and not in a good way. Kind of a Dole-tinned-pears-in-syrup way.

It’s gentle, makes your room smell great and it’s not too heavy. It doesn’t scream anything amazing though.
