What a delicious-sounding tea name! I’ve only had sticky toffee pudding once, at a friend’s wedding reception in Australia (they call it “sticky date pudding”), and it was scrumptious, as I would expect. How can you go wrong with toffee sauce ha ha?
Anyway, this is just okay. It mostly tastes like hojicha, which I’m happy about, given that there’s also black tea and rooibos here for some reason. There’s a touch of buttery caramel flavor, and based on Deb’s other caramel teas I think it’s the black tea that’s caramel-flavored. But because there are two other bases, the caramel ends up not being strong enough in my opinion. I also don’t really taste the brown sugar, and I didn’t see any in my pouch either. So it’s a slightly caramel-flavored hojicha with a touch of black tea and rooibos.
It’s not bad, just meh. Don’t get me wrong, I love hojicha, but this tastes like a very generic hojicha, and I guess my tastebuds are hojicha snobs at this point LOL. :P
