This Caramel Tea is the ultimate treat! A caramel tea that is rich, creamy and decadent – thats what my Sweet Caramel oMine is all about!
This is a unique Caramel tea blend from my own recipe, using high grown Ceylon teas as well as Assams (to highlight the malty tones of the caramel), and organic caramel flavors. Youll even find a couple of tiny caramel nuggets amongst the tea leaves!
The flavor is bold, slightly sweet (but youll want to add a touch of sweetener to your tea to bring out the more subtle notes of the caramel flavors), and buttery rich, just like a favorite homemade caramel candy — but with far fewer calories and no fat!
Just got my Box O’ Goodies from LiberTeas – Thanks so much!
So I started on this tea right away…mostly because I love caramel tea and well Gun’s and Roses. LOL. Boy, was this an awesome tea. I will have to get my very own tin and it shall be my “precious.” This tea has a deep, rich, velvety caramel flavor. I must admit I feel naughty drinking this, it tastes sinful. Nevertheless, it is wonderful and a must try. Thank you for sending me this tea.
Mmmm this is wonderful, really hits the spot. I was craving a sweet dessert tea this afternoon and this was waiting for me in my mailbox. Thanks to the SororiTea Sisteres blog contest I get to enjoy this richly caramel tea along with a tin of Liberteas British Breakfast tea. Much thanks for the tea!
I didn’t find out about LiberTEAS’s company until after it had closed…yes, once I read about her blends, I had an incredible sad. LiberTEAS, bless her, kindly sent me some of her teas in a swap, and I’ve been fortunate enough to get a very small supply of her Breakfast Blend on hand (it’s the best ever, and yes, I’m hoarding the stuff).
In my awesome swap box from Meghann, she had nearly a full tin of this tucked into it, as well as my beloved Breakfast Blend!! Yes, I squealed like a little girl. Actually, probably more like a tweenage girl watching Twilight, squealing when Edward appears on the screen. You would have laughed.
I’m slightly worried about this, not going to lie. I’ve not been having the best of luck with caramel teas here lately, but I know if anyone can do a tea right, it’s LiberTEAS. After all, her Masterpiece Chai is, well, a masterpiece.
She’s not let me down. It’s bold, in your face, and awesome. Creamy and caramel, but without that “burnt” taste that I’ve been finding in other caramel blends. I’m seriously considering making a T-sac full of this, taking it to Cuppa, and begging Lisa to make me a latte out of it with caramel syrup (I’m crap at making lattes at home). This is delicious. Debating adding a smidge of sugar to this, but I honestly don’t think it needs it. Nom, nom, nom!!

It just seemed right!!!
I had to listen to this song while consuming…it should be part of the experience!
This smells sweet and dark and caramel-E. It sort of tastes like a Caramel Flavored Coffee or Toffee or would make a great NO…scratch that…and AWESOME Coffee Alternative!
This is a loud but good flavored tea! It certainly has the Axl “Scream” down pat. And at the end of the sip…the Axl “Dance”. It’s a smooth aftertaste which is wonderful!
I figure the PERFECT Infusion consists of you pulling the loose leaf from the water right at the beginning of Slash’s JAM OUT Session beginning around 2:53.
YUM…
Thank you SO MUCH LiberTEAs for sending me some!!!
First, I better not get too attached …Liberteas sent me a sample and I am thinking this is a limited edition since she is closing up the business.
This tea has a strong, natural caramel flavor. And I am going to miss this tea. It tasted like an old-fashioned Brach’s caramel square in the plastic wrapper….
I haven’t had too many caramel teas- just a sample from Upton’s (which I remember enjoying but can’t recall the taste) and a tin of Adagio’s caramel creme (which tasted artificial to me)…Oh well, the search continues…I have high hopes for Kusmi’s caramel tea…
I’m surprised at how strong this tea is. It’s not weak and watery like many flavored teas tend to be. I’m guessing part of the magic of this tea is due to the assam in the blend. This is a proper black tea that can stand up to lots of milk and sweetener. The result is an awesome, almost coffee-ish drink with great caramel flavor. I’m sad that I can’t get more of this, because I would drink it regularly. Thank you Rachel for the sample! Prepared with almond milk and stevia.
Yum! I love my caramel tea!
The flavor is rich and smooth, but with a bold base – a touch of malt that really goes nicely with the caramel notes. Not super sweet – even though I named it as such… I was thinking of Axl Rose at the time! It has a nice sweetness though but one that I like to accent with a bit of raw sugar to bring out some of the richer notes of the caramel.
YUM!
I got this tea in a trade with Silvermage2000 along with a bunch of others – all I can say is that she has good taste in tea. :)
The smell of this tea is partially toasty and partially burnt caramel – but a nice burnt, not the yucky, charcoal burnt. The flavour isn’t overly sweet (unlike the title, lol) but it’s more like a nice, light, malty assam with a faint hint of sugar. It’s a pleasent tea to drink, but not anything that I found overly special.
Tasting a sample cup of this thanks to LiberTeas, who sent it to me. I love anything caramel, so I was pretty excited when I saw that she had included it.
The first thing I noticed about the scent and taste of this tea is the smell of real caramel. It reminds me of how my mother makes it at home, on the stovetop. It has that sort of… not smoky exactly, but heat-involved taste, if that makes any sense. This tea is delightfully smooth and creamy without actually adding cream. I’m still finishing my first (and only) cup, and I’m a fan. Mmmm.
I think I’m going to have “Sweet Child Of Mine” stuck in my head all day now…
This I’s one strong black tea with a medium carmel. I steeped a couple of minutes or so. This tastes like a good black tea with a nice not oversweet carmel.
This tea is like a delicious treat! Really unexpected in a tea IMO.
