I forgot that Kusmi’s cloth tea bags look like little pillows. So cute. I got this one from Cameron B.! Thank you very much! I have been meaning to try this one for a few years now. Very excited.
The smell both dry and steeped is heavenly. Straight up caramel. Not caramel syrup, more like the actual old fashioned cubes. They have used a hearty black tea as their base, and it goes dark quickly. It adds a layer of bitterness (that I kinda like) to the tea that makes me think I’ll go with a shorter steep time on my next cup. The caramel flavor is toasty and creamy, with notes of marshmallow and honey. Definitely has a burnt sugar vibe, in a good way, especially on the exhale. No notes of butter or vanilla like some caramel teas. No, this is one for the caramel purists.
I really appreciate the change from all the fruity tea I’ve been drinking lately. Comforting and yet energizing.
Flavors: Burnt Sugar, Caramel, Honey, Marshmallow
