The dry blend smells exactly like caramel corn or maybe like the buttered popcorn jellybeans (one of my least favorites). For some reason, I wasn’t expecting it to be so accurate! Once it’s been steeped, it smells like brown sugar, cinnamon and popcorn.
Sipping… this blend starts off with a rather bland fruity base — quite similar to Forever Nuts. The rest of the sip is rather uneventful until the end when I get a lovely caramel corn flavor – faint popcorn with a strong and gooey caramel.
While this is a very creative blend and the flavor is as close to caramel corn as you can get, it’s a little too artificial for me. I also wish that it had a different base mixture because I really am thinking about Forever Nuts throughout this cup. Forever Nuts isn’t a bad tea, but it’s not really what I want with my caramel corn.
