Decaf Crème Caramel

I can find nothing about this that I enjoy. It just tastes fake and mediciney to me. I tried it hot and waited until the cup cooled. At no time could I separate the flavor of the tea, chocolate, or caramel. It is just one nasty horrible mess. It has been a long time since I have dumped out a cup rather than finish it. I can’t even chug this to make it go away. I need a Coke to wash this taste away. Ick.

The tea smells nice – not necessarily like caramel to my nose though – it’s more like those old-fashioned shortbread cookies you get in tins around X-mas. The flavour is wretchedly bitter plain but it’s much improved with some milk. It’s sweet but I’m still not really getting caramel specifically – it’s has the biscuity, shortbread flavour with a bit of creaminess added to it.

It’s all a little bland and underwhelming to be honest.

Ok, I just drank a hot cup of cardboard!! This is the worst tea I’ve ever had. Thank goodness my nephews love it or it would be to the bin for this tea.

Meh. Bitter. This isn’t an exciting beverage. I didn’t wanna add any additives, so it may have tasted good without it. I don’t know why I’m not a big Stash tea fan.

lesson learned. if i want caramely goodness, have caramel. nice enough.

Fall struck today and I busted out the comfy sweater, switched on my therapy light to sit under and brewed up this tea. I wanted something comforting and sweet. I don’t know how this tea made its way into my cupboard as I don’t remember buying it but who am I to turn down the magic tea cupboard gifts.

Mine was bagged and I made it sweet and milky. I was just really searching for a sweet caramel flavour and this served its purpose. I actually prefer this over another creme de caramel roobios that I own which is much more costly. It is just a good basic tea for when you have a chill on and want something sugary to get your heat on.

Another one bought a few years ago when I bought things from the grocery store. Am just now catching up on these tasting notes.

Even then, I really did not enjoy this tea.

’Nuff said.

Attempted a mug of this last night, but abandoned it. At my best friend’s (where I am), there hasn’t been much rain, so the water tastes kind of strange. Thinking that the water ruined the tea, I waited until today to brew another cup (with bottled water this time), to really get a true taste of it.

Yeah, it wasn’t the funky-tasting water.

It doesn’t really taste like caramel. It doesn’t really taste like anything except “burnt” and “kinda gross”.

I’ll try it at 3 minutes next time. Maybe that’ll help?

Weak but pleasant.
Creamy and sweet.
Worth a try if you’ve got milk and a small cuppa on hand

I like most of stash teas, thanks to Big Lots, I own several kinds. Another great evening time creamy pick me up and decaf, great for before bed! This tea, a fire, a Blanket and a good book! Ahhh. it’s good for bagged tea… Am getting more and more into loose tea, The potency is way better than bagged. like I said, when I was on more of a budget, stash is a good bagged tea, this one is among my favorites with stash.

This one is having a problem I’ve been having with my bags far too open. I open it and it smells deliciously like it’s supposed to — all sinfully sweet and beautiful caramel — and then once it’s been steeped it doesn’t taste like much at all. A black with some muddling by something else undefinable. I was disappointed at this one.

I drank it black and it was ok. No raving here, but it’s do-able.

Nice and smooth drinking. Boiling water, 5 min steep, milk and sweet’ning. I bought a bunch of assortments on clearance and shared them with a sort of tea sisterhood, including my sister, daughter-in-law and granddaughter. We fancy ourselves having daily tea parties across the miles. And I feel a bit of the same camaraderie with my fellow Steepster-ites. Well then, to tea!

A smooth, sweet tea. I drank it with a bit of sugar and a splash of milk. While it’s not something I would buy or drink often, it tasted good and smooth.
