Creme Caramel Rooibos

This tea is pretty sweet and tasty. Not really creamy or caramely, but it’s a pleasant sweetness, and the rooibos is perfectly nice. It’s not super special, but no complaints really.

This tea smelled and tasted strongly of robitussin DM, not at all like caramel. Mixed on a 1:1 ratio with warm milk with vanilla and sugar makes it bearable. Not what I expected and not my favorite.

Once brewed, this tea smells wonderful, very similar to a light caramel candy. I was not disappointed with the taste, but I do wish I could taste a little more of the caramel,
I really enjoyed the smoothness and the slight butter flavor I got as well.
Rooibos teas do tend to have a distinct taste and I could taste that a little more than I would like, similar to if it was overpowering the caramel taste a little.
I will be enjoying this tea for a while because while it is sweet, it is not so sweet I feel I cannot enjoy it.

Very smooth, light caramel flavor. 4/5

This is my PERFECT tea.

The caramel flavor is forward and melds into the sweet, natural nuttiness of the rooibos for well-balanced flavor. I like to drink it plain.

Blech. Woody red rooibos is way too strong, and the caramel is fake and overly sweet yet not very strong. Even discounting the fact that I’m not a huge rooibos fan, I thought this one was pretty awful.

I’m not sure about whether the taste of this tea is authentic to its name or not as my sampler contains only three pieces of caramel which I’m storing for the last cup, but it certainly tastes lovely with cardamom added to it! Although I haven’t drank it as it’s intended, it’s really good and steeps fast at 4 minutes so that’s a plus! It’s almost all I’ve been drinking for the past few days. To restart my hair growth, lol. XD (rooibos is good for your hair!)

EDIT: I tried it with the bits of caramel and it tastes alright with a nice caramel aftertaste, but it’s overly sweet and I much prefer it with cardamom instead lol.

Smells sweet, doesn’t taste like too much

Enjoyed another cup of this tea with breakfast. I find it interesting that each brew takes on a different taste though.

Dried it smelled like burnt caramel. It brewed an orange brown colour and smelt like an earthy toasted caramel. While sipping the cup I was reminded of toasted marshmellows.

Of all of the 24 teas in the advent calendar, this is one of the few that stood out for me. I loved the scent of this one – rich, buttery, caramel-y. Whereas a lot of David’s Teas tended to have a better aroma than test, the taste measures up well enough for this one.

I liked this one plain with no milk. It was a great way to end a heavy (carb-laden) meal, when you just can’t have a real dessert, and on rainy days when you want something light but comforting.
