I steeped this tea with almost boiling water. I have been tasting the tea before I add any sweetener or milk. The tea is a dark brown color once stepped. It has a caramel flavor without any sweetener, but it was pretty subtle. For my taste, it definitely needed something to sweeten it up. Once I added the sweetener, it really brought out the caramel flavor and then I added some cream. That did it for me, I really liked it once it was all doctored up. I basically treated like I would a Chai tea and I love Chai. If you are a purest, this tea will probably not do much for you. But if you are willing to doctor it up yourself, it has a great flavor.
