Ugh!!! rarely does a bagged tea impress me, so I should have known better than to order this up from Second Cup where a friend and I went last night… but it was late and I didn’t feel like having a latte. I should have had the blasted latte! (decaf!)
The “caramel” in this is barely present, adding a mild caramel flavour, but it was overpowered by the orange peel… so much so that it was almost sour. I added milk, so mild caramel, strong orange notes, and milk (plus I think it was a green rooibos, not my fave) blended together to make a rather un-tasty mixture.
I’m getting tired of tasting teas I don’t like. I miss the thrill of discovering a tea that makes takes me to that happy, tea-bliss place.
*sighs. This tea gets an even lower rating because I already have a creme brule rooibos that I love, and the difference between them is just pitiful!! Sorry for the venting!

Decent rooibos but go for the Irresistibles version of this instead.
