Oh, this is a fruit infusion blend, with apples, cacao stuff galore, and almonds. Ripping open the packet, I get a waft of peanut butter cups! My mom concurs. Sweet chocolatey peanut butter cups. I was kind of hoping it would have had a black base since I prefer that when making lattes, and generally don’t care for fruit infusion blends hot. Plus, cold brewing would be weird. Iced peanut butter cups? Eh, I don’t know about that.
But hot, it works itself out. There is a ton of peanut flavour in here. This reminds me more of a DQ Peanut Buster Parfait (hot fudge + peanuts) than a Reese creation. The cocoa flavour is mild but palpable. I was expecting Ambessa’s Choco Nut to taste like this, which really fell flat in the peanut department.
It’s weird but I like it? I think I’d buy more once this actually hits store shelves. I’m a sucker for chocolate peanut butter so I’m hoping this will make a great (nearly) calorie-free substitute to have lying around for when the will power is on low.
The more I drink this, the more I think of Halloween, especially those little fun-sized chocolate bars. I used to get a lot of peanuts in a shell when I’d go trick-or-treating too, so my bag o’ loot would usually smell like a vat of chocolate and peanuts.
Whoa. I’m sure if you mix this with Salted Caramel it’ll taste like a Snickers bar. I’M SO GETTING SOME OF BOTH AND TRYING THIS.

That actually sounds good. Might put it on my fall list.
I’m sure opinions on this tea will be mega polarized, and I have a feeling it won’t be too popular or something. But maybe I’ll be wrong!
I saw another steepsterite give it a 55. So yeah, I can see that it will be a sort of “niche” tea that some will enjoy for the peanut flavor and some will…not.
I stopped at DT after work today to pick up a sample, but my store had given all of theirs away so I guess I’m gonna have to buy it in a week when the collection comes out :P I agree people will likely be mixed on this one; but I think it’s cool DT is offering a “peanut” tea that doesn’t actually have peanuts in it and I’m excited to try it. It also seems perfect for the fall.
Hmm…I picked up some salted caramel yesterday; maybe I’ll try them mixed.
I agree with you, Fjellrev. I was surprised that it had a fruity base. I was expecting a black base. But I really enjoyed my free sample as a hot latte regardless. I am definitely picking some up on the release day!
