I was a little afraid of this tea because I had read a couple of negative tasting notes, but, I decided that I was going to go for it anyway and give it a try.
It smells wonderful – both the dry leaf and the brewed tea. My tea didn’t brew murky-looking … it looks like black tea to me. First couple of sips: ok… but some of the flavors seem a bit obscure, so I decided to add a little sugar to the cup. This did the trick.
This isn’t my favorite caramel tea, or even my favorite spiced tea, but, I am enjoying it. I can taste the berry tones, the caramel tones and even the spice tones. The black tea is a solid background of flavor, not too strong, but pleasantly brisk. Each of the flavors are light, the spices are a bit more prominent than the fruit (I taste both orange and berry) or the caramel. These are lighter flavors but still they are there.
I like this. Sorry to disagree with some out there, but then again, I’m glad that I didn’t have a poor experience with this too!

No need to apologize. It’s one of the built in dangers of a website like this… but I really love reading other people’s thoughts on teas, because I learn so much from the experiences – not just my own but others too. It is also wonderful being around so many people who love tea!
