Ros got me excited for this tea, and it’s rare a DT meets that threshold. I steeped this up and it looks just like black coffee. The scent and taste were akin to a Tim Horton’s vanilla latte (reminding me of days long past when I first started university), which I was a bit disappointed by. My preference would be for a ‘clean’ coffee flavour as opposed to a flavoured coffee. There was a pretty distinct black pepper smell and taste at the end of the sip — this isn’t listed in the ingredients, so I have no idea why that came through. A also got the same black pepper, so it didn’t seem to be a figment of my imagination. I happily enjoy coffee without concern, so I’ll finish this off, but won’t repurchase. For those who like coffee and want to try a caffeine-free (and coffee-free) option, you may enjoy this.
