I am quite new to tea, always finding that it tasted like ‘dirty water’. Today after a bit of research I made a trip to the always-cute t leaf T and bought a packet of this tea. It is quite nice! Not bitter or cloying like other teas I’ve had (though those are probably due to my own brewing faults) but I didn’t find it sweet at all. Divine with a tablespoon of cream.

I took a guess on the temperature but I like to wait a few moments after boiling to pour it over black tea.

Today was round 2 with this tea, and my first endeavor with re-steeping loose tea! To my delight, the second steep was just as smooth and tasty about 1 hour later. I also tried stevia in one and sugar in the other – unfortunately the stevia gave it a ‘cold’ and licorice-y taste. I think my brand of stevia is just like that, though. The sugar really brought out the caramel and made perfect for dessert, though the same goes for cream sans-sugar so I think I’ll keep it that way.

Stupid name, yummy tea! I distinctly remember trying this a few years ago and it tasted almost as awful as the creme brulee, so they must have changed the blend. A rich and creamy caramel tea with a hint of nut (thanks to the macadamias), that tastes even more decadent with milk. A true dessert tea, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth!
