TTB. If one were to judge a tea by smell alone I’d be walking out the door.
Smells like fake caramel and slightly old maple syrup. And I don’t say that lightly because I only buy the good stuff. We have a company here called Faxon Farms that makes fantastic maple syrup. Anyway…
I’m having a hard time getting over the aroma
It hurts my stomach. The liquor color us very nice. Clear and deep rosewood. The aroma has tampered off quite a bit still a bit of the fake caramel but now with slight woody notes. The flavor is… nope. Started off okay. Dark wood noted. Then that fake caramel flavor comes out. Sorry… no. I can’t. I tried a few sips to really make sure that I wasn’t judging the tea by the aroma but I really can’t stand this flavor

That is how I felt about Adagio’s vanilla flavoring in their vanilla black tea. Why can’t they just add some vanilla seed or pulp to the tea leaves? I know it’s expensive, but some things are worth it. But this is highly personal, because I, for example, dislike the taste of real maple. I much prefer a certain HFCS-based pancake sauce over genuine maple syrup. But I would take blueberry sauce over that! Or caramelized bananas over any of them!
