I only got 8g of this, as I had a toonie and wanted to keep it under that. This gave me about 2 servings. I initially had mixed feelings on this, as I thought it might be a little too artificial tasting, but I was kind of ok with that. I added milk with both steeps, and I really got that toffee flavour. Not much on the chocolate, as I think that mostly blended in with the pu erh base. I’ve always loved caramel and pu erh, so I didn’t think this would be any different. It is though. But not in a bad way. I think I still prefer some other caramel pu erh teas over this, but I did like this one a bit. I was actually going to get more today, but I ended up getting 3 green teas, and 2 more greens from Silk Road, so I gave this one a miss on the refill for now. But I will probably refill it soon.
This is You :-D

I generally like a lot of tea. I do find I have a preference for flavored over unflavoured, but I do love a good straight tea as well.
Likes are too hard, since there are a lot. Dislikes are easier, so here they are…
Hibiscus. Blech. I can tolerate a little, depending on the brew, like Berry Good from Davids and Ruby Pie from Butiki…but in general, it’s too tart and too strong for me.
Licorice. Anything that remotely resembles licorice is out too, so that includes fennel and anise. Yuck, yuck, yuck.
Florals. I’m cool with petals in the tea to make them look pretty (except rose), and I’m cool with teas like oolongs having a floral note, but strong florals can give me migraines. Rose and jasmine are the biggest offenders. This is one where it can vary on the blend, as I can handle Teavivre’s Peach Jasmine Dragon Pearl tea because there is very little jasmine actually detectable in it.
Rooibos is hit or miss. I can do some, but not others. I handle green better than red, and honeybush better than rooibos.
My ratings don’t have a particular scale or method, and may on occasion contradict themselves, but I’m honestly not fussed about that. Sometimes I don’t even rate at all.
Um, I have an extensive wishlist. It is both a list of things I want to get again, and things I want to try. If you are sending me something, and you want to know which is which, I’ll tell you via PM.
Yes, I do trades…usually on request though. See something you want to try in my cupboard? Just shoot me a message and I’ll see what I can do!
Uh, guess that’s it.
