drank Toasted Nut Brulee by Plum Deluxe
294 tasting notes

I will admit, I was not looking forward to this one at all. Between nuts (fine, but not a favorite), the word “brulee” (often a sign of unpleasant sweetness to come), and rooibos (ew), this seemed like a bad fit for me all around.

I am so pleased to be wrong!

The toasted caramel flavor is prominent, with the nuts a pleasant background note for some more depth. The black tea in the blend does some heavy lifting too; in all, I don’t even notice the rooibos. This was delicious hot, still pleasant cool, and it has made my “buy more” list for the season.

I’m quite excited! It’s treats like these that make advents and sample boxes so fun.

Great at buying tea, okay at drinking tea, awful at timely reviews. Drawn to fruit, floral, spice, smoke, and flavored teas in general; prefer those that stand well without milk or sweetener. Black is fine, green is better, and red rooibos is trash.

My ratings are for me, so I don’t accidentally buy something that sounds amazing but I’ve already tried and disliked. I struggle a bit with wanting to be “fair” to a tea that other people would probably like, but then my system won’t work!

90-100 A: loved it; would make this a permanent member of my stash
80-89 B: tasty; would pick it up again
70-79 C: good; could grab with a good deal or to try in a different style
60-69 D: okay; would keep in a set but probably would not repurchase on its own
1-59 F: various shades of bad; would not purchase; closer to 1 means may not even drink again if offered.
