Special thanks to Tamm for letting me try this one since I’ve been thinking about buying a tin of it…
I steeped mine for around 4 minutes and am drinking it straight up plain today… the Kusmi teas I’ve tried were all the Russian blends so the simplicity of this is a refreshing change of pace. A nice smooth, medium bodied black tea. The caramel flavor is subtle with just a hint of sweetness and doesn’t seem artificial to me. This was a great choice for after lunch with a cookie! :)
I tried adding soymilk to it but I think I preferred it plain actually…
This was enjoyable for a flavored black tea but it doesn’t need a permanent home in my ever growing stash.

Do you have to order this to your house or do you live by the store?
I’ve been able to find a few Kusmi teas locally but this isn’t one of them. The last time I checked they were charging $10 for shipping… meh
Well damn. If you were only buying one tea that would be a pretty big tag for the shipping. : /
I am also thinking about buying a tin of this, but I don’t want to pay a lot of money on shipping if it’s not that great. Sounds sweet and natural, though!
I would highly recommend this one. I would say though that it is not really caramel-y to me as burnt sugar warm awesomeness. It is a fabulous tea, but not entirely what I was expecting.
