Overall this is a pleasant tea. I was really looking forward to trying this one as it sounds delicious. However, there’s nothing extraordinary about it.
The tea smells like caramel that one would use with apples. (Mmm… my favorite in the autumn!) 205/3 min. The scent remains, but the caramel promise has morphed into more of a crème brûlée. I taste a hint of smokiness. There’s definitely a flavor of cream in the tea, but I don’t taste much of a nut brittle flavor at all. The tea is slightly bitter and is certainly astringent.
I enjoy this one quite a bit but I must admit I developed a deeper appreciation for it over time.
