Hmmm,I don’t think I’m a fan of this. I don’t think it’s “Buttered Rum”.
I’m getting more fruit (berry) and vanilla. Normally fruit and vanilla wouldn’t bother me, but this is just strange. Can’t quite put my finger on what’s wrong with it, but not at all what I was expecting.
Thank you yyz for the opportunity to try this, but it’s a miss for me. :((
Overboard TTB #11
Woah what a busy day! Unfortunately mission ‘drink all the teas’ got a little sidetracked today due to some unexpected things that came up at work… Which means I either need to drink myself into a caffeine coma this evening or try and drink through the rest that really interest me before the post office closes tomorrow…. Decisions, decisions…
This tea sounded pretty interesting and since there was just under a serving left in the packet I decided to give it a go because technically it would only brew up about a half a cup which would leave me free for the next cup!
Brewed up its a little boozy tasting but I’m not specifically getting rum and adding milk definitely adds to the ‘buttered’ flavor… Not bad but probably not something I’d rush out to stock
Overboard TTB #12
I must admit, I’ve never actually tasted buttered rum. But I have tried the Buttered Rum blend from David’s Tea and I was expecting this one to taste similar. But it’s completely different! This one has a vaguely fruity flavor (strawberry, maybe?), a bit of creaminess, and a strong, malty black base. It certainly wasn’t a bad tea, but it wasn’t at all what I was expecting.
Flavors: Fruity, Malt
Overboard TTB
I need to preface this by saying I have never had buttered rum. The closest I’ve ever had is the buttered rum Life Savers, so I really have nothing to compare this tea to. So I need to ask… does buttered rum taste fruity? This tea is really fruity. Lots of strawberry and pear flavor. It’s actually a very tasty tea, but I can’t help but wonder how this compares to a real alcohol filled butter rum. I’m guessing they taste very, very different.
At any rate, this is a nice, tasty, fruity tea.
Hah berries and vanilla don’t scream buttered rum to me either. :P
Same for me. I really just got a sort of strawberry vanilla tea. This company has nice time but their flavourings are pretty inconsistent
Meant nice tins.
I think I’ve seen those at Winners. Good to know. :)
I grabbed some at Winners too a while back – I’ll leave them on the shelf next time.
Haha! You have more on its way! That’s the risk you take by being a massive compulsive swapper, lol!!
OMGsrsly, Bought mine at Costco just a few weeks ago, so glad I didn’t go crazy to buy them all! (You know how things escalate sometimes…)
