I hunted down the source of this tea that I sampled from The Angry Tea Room (called “Caramel Popcorn Movie Night”) back in February 2018. Expect a “work in progress” sign up as I shift around a few more reviews to their wholesale source listings… at least they are fairly old ones?
I decided to have a late night first time watch of Deadpool tonight, so I pulled this sample out from my Here’s Hoping Traveling Teabox samples to sipdown since it went so well with the mood! (Thanks so much to tea-sipper for organizing and all contributors of the box!) The brewed tea had a very sweet, caramely scent, with almost a maple syrup sort of sweetness to the aroma. Mmmm! I found the flavor very nice… it was a very rich, full caramel flavor, rather than being overly sweet-syrupy like some caramel-flavored teas I’ve tried. I think the base of the tea is what really balances out the flavor so nicely; the roasted mate gives it a toasty depth, and I’ve found that black/rooibos blends tend to create this nice combination of sweet malt. The tea is very smooth with no astringencies. This is a fantastic dessert tea!

I was just thinking about this tea earlier today! I looked it up to sadly find that Angry Tea Room no longer carries it. So your tasting note is great news for me!
That sounds really tasty. I love caramel popcorn.
It isn’t on the Tea Guys retail site, so it seems like they now have several blends that they only create for wholesale. But if you search the ingredients you can still find retailers carrying the blends; Par Avion Tea has it, though it does appear the blend has been updated since the time I had this one. Not sure if the new updated blend holds up, I really enjoyed this one too.
@Mastress Alita Thank you :)
Now I’m noticing that Angry Tea Room stopped selling MOST of the blends I loved that they had. No fun.
