Vanilla Caramel Truffle

Had this ages ago . . . It tasted weird and wrong, on multiple attempts. The tea itself—without adding any sweetener—was cloyingly, overpoweringly sweet. There was also some vanilla flavor, and not much else. I couldn’t taste the tea at all.

The best way I found to drink it was with milk and no added sweetener. Then it was like watery vanilla-flavored milk. . . . Though still not what I wanted, which was a cup of TEA.

Gave the rest to a friend.

I always run out of this tea. it’s good , and it’s has a really good taste

I absolutely hate black teas (unless it’s sweet or iced tea) and I hate Lipton tea even more, but I’m so glad I took a chance on this one! I was pleasantly surprised to find this in pyramid mesh pouches, but the smell took me aback…it smelled just like Lipton’s regular tea. Disappointed, but hoping for the best, I made a cup and fell in love. Steeped, this turns into the most beautiful caramel amber color. The aroma is slight, but holds the attention with it’s vanilla caramel scents. The taste was wonderful, considering it’s a Lipton black tea. The black tea itself was not overpowering, but it was very present. But, toning it all down are the gentle notes of sweet savory vanilla smoothed over by the milky caramel tidbits which really makes this more of a cream tea. I will definitely keep this on hand…at work.

What sold me on this tea is what sold me on most teas: I held the box to my nose and lightly squeezed it to smell the aroma seeping out. And this one smelled of yummy desserts. Sold! It’s simple as teas are concerned, but is an excellent dessert tea. I even brewed a couple bags in a cup of water and used it for my oatmeal instead of plain water or milk and it was delightful.

Very nice, smooth, and light tea.

BLEEEEEARGH! This is one NASTY tea. I tried it just as I was coming out of my Lipton-induced shell, and it scared me right back in! It tastes burnt and all kinds of nasty. Never again.

I just bought this tea this afternoon while at target looking for oolong teas, which i couldn’t find. This has a nice flavor but I did notice that it is kind of weak. But overall it’s not bad. I tried steeping it longer to try and make it stronger, but that didn’t work. Also, the tea bag is kinda cool.

I have had this tea for a while and used to be my fav till I started to drink better loose teas. It has a very stong vinalla and caramel flavor. I have tried to use it to make sun to but found it very bitter; plus it is a tea best served hot then cold

Specifics
Water Temp: under boiling
Tea bag ratio: I tea bag per big cup of tea
Sweetener: Light brown sugar to taste

Over all it is an Ok-meh dessert tea.

Very tasty! I am pretty new to tea, so it may not be the best quality. But with a little caramel syrup and milk it is very rich and sweet. And it smells fantastic!

It’s a nice after dinner tea, but definitely cannot let this steep too long or it gets kinda bitter. And the same goes for letting it cool too much.

the worst. tastes artificial and burnt.

I love a strong black tea, but this one had a bitter, almost coffee-like flavor to it. Super disappointing, as it sounded so delicious! I’ll probably fuss around with milk/sugar/steep times to try to make it taste better. At 20 mg per bag, it’s also too light on the caffeine content for me.

Its OK, Not Great, Not Bad. I get some after tastes that are not bad. I would really like more caramel flavor.. The TEA flavoring is not there much. So what i get is a hodge podge of flavors that is ok but not good as tea. sounds silly

Sweet and delicious although it does not have a very strong tea taste.
Will only drink with sweetened condensed milk.
One of my favorite teas to have following a meal.

I’m almost embarrassed to admit, but I love this cheap bagged tea! It is creamy and rich, the caramel and vanilla flavors don’t taste artificial at all. I had this one a lot over Christmas at my parent’s house, and it was very tolerant of incorrect water temperature, oversteeping, etc. If I did have one complaint, it is that you don’t taste very much black tea flavor. Prepared with almond milk and stevia.

What is wrong with this tea? I can’t explain it. It is very artificial tasting. The smell of the dry tea makes me slightly nauseous. The taste is just off somehow. Ok, I’m getting queasy just thinking about it. Blech.

A gift from my work-husband this past May! Well, he’s no longer my work-husband since he moved to northern Ky for another job. But he was a good one. At 5am, he walked into the cafeteria where I was making brownies for 600 people, took one look at my face, and immediately walked back out. He came back in 20 minutes with three different boxes of Lipton tea. I’ll never be able to train someone that well again.

When I first tried it, I didn’t like it at all (which is why this is the only one I have left out of the three). I was expecting sweeter, creamier, a dessert tea. The caramel taste is very dark, almost as though the caramel was cooked for too long. This makes the tea very earthy, and to me, it tastes more like the mushroom truffle than a dessert truffle. It’s still good, so long as you like savory and are expecting it. Avoid using boiling water and overbrewing: this one gets bitter fast.

This tea was okay, but to me it tastes a bit fakey and for some reason I swear I taste a hint of coffee. I don’t know maybe it is just me. Anyway it is not the best cup of tea but it is not awful. I think It might make a good latte.

Good tea.

Very sweet and tasty, but I burned my tongue because I suck.
