Caramel teas are another huge weakness of mine. When I ritualistically opened the package for the first sniff before steeping, I was greeted with such a rich, sweet aroma. It smelled so creamy and buttery. Like faintly caramelized brown sugar and something tangy. Just decadent.
The black tea, as I’ve mentioned before, is higher quality than what most tea companies make flavored blends with. As far as the cheesecake flavor goes, it is mild and kind of reminds me of flan. There is definitely more buttery caramel payoff in the smell of the tea than the actual taste. Which is kind of disappointing to me. While this is nice and will make a wonderful breakfast tea, it’s not exactly what I was looking for.
EDIT: I want to note that the tasty caramel flavor gets stronger as my tea approaches lukewarm. I’m thinking this might be awesome iced. Gonna try that tomorrow.
