Mastress Alita’s sipdown challenge Saturday, November 20th: National Absurdity Day
While it’s not unheard of, there’s something odd about coffee flavoured teas (who wanted this and why). For one, All the coffee drinkers in my life dislike every single one I’ve ever showed them (this one being no exception).
The coffee beans in this are nice ones and when I got the steeping parameters right my cup tasted like a coffee cake, which is alright. Maybe. Unfortunately for this sipdown, the mate in the blend is coming through in an overly earthy way today. It tastes like dirt coffee compost. I do not love it. I want tea.

I like the concept of coffee-flavored teas, but I think the only one I’ve really enjoyed is Fairytale of NY from Bird & Blend.
That one sounds neat! I’m intrigued with the choice of rooibos base :)
I have a favorite coffee tea with puerh…perfect for me, since I love the coffee smell but don’t want the coffee buzz.
My favourite one is Coffee Caramel by nineteen-o2. excellent, IMHO.
And Canadian. BC even.
I have a Dandelion Dark Roast blend by Teeccino that’s designed to be a caffeine-free coffee alternative, and it does taste exactly like coffee, but it steeps like a tea.
Those all sound neat too (and look how many of them there are)! I’d never pass up a cup of coffee tea but… like, I don’t even enjoy tiramasu :P
Not everything is for everybody. There’s that.
I second the Dandelion Dark Roast and the other ones you all mention sound intriguing!
Yes, even though I don’t like coffee as much as other foods/beverages I’m slightly enticed to pick up a small amount of all the ones mentioned here if/when I buy from those companies :)
Despite being in the same province as me, the one located in Gibsons may be the hardest to access (and therefore the most intriguing). One day, in Gibsons.
