Candy Corn Black Tea

Backlog:

Yum! I loved this. This tastes like candy corn! All that’s missing is the waxy sort of texture and taste that you get from the candy when you bite into it. But since I’m sipping … I don’t really miss that. I’d much rather drink the tea than eat the candy, I think! I don’t really like how that wax feels against my teeth after I’ve eaten a few candy corns! I can usually eat like a handful, but after that, I have to stop because that waxy thing gets to me. But this … this is YUM!

Sweet and perfect for Halloween. Frank hit the nail on the head with this one.

9/12 teas of Christmas, 2013

I knew this one was in the box from the clue dropped on the thread a while back. Vanilla, caramel candy corn tea, with a nippy and syrupy sweet finish. I like these types of candy in small doses, which makes it easier to resist plucking all five pieces from the dry blend (I only took one).

I’ll try to write something more interesting later.

I have to say I’m not a fan of candy corn whatsoever. I know I know… How’s that possible, but since I was little just the smell made me gag. But I actually really enjoyed this teA. It was a naturally sweet tea:) the candy corn disintegrated right away which is probably what made it sweet. It was a nice touch for dessert:)

I’m not necessarily keen on candy corn, but Fiance is. I had to hide this package from him so he wouldn’t eat the pieces out of it!

1.5 tsp/8 oz water, 2 oz milk, frothed, 1 tsp sugar.

Another one perfect for milk and sugar. The candy corn melts right into the cup, making a really honey-vanilla-sweet cup. But being that candy corn, is, well, super sweet I think it takes a little extra sugar to make it candy corn instead of a wild honey flavored cup. I wish I had dug into it before Halloween, but now that I have, I don’t think it’s going to last too long.

Hmm….I wasn’t expecting so many black teas in this box, I thought there would be more variety. There has only been one honeybush, and all the rest have been blacks. Oh well, I am liking the surprise of scratching the bag to find out what the tea of the day is!

I didn’t expect this tea to have such large candy corn candies. I don’t mind candy corn, but I don’t think that I would go out of my way to find it or anything. This tea though, is pretty good. It is sweet and fun. Too bad I didn’t have this on Halloween. I don’t think I would order a bag though.

Let me tell you, Frank got my idea spot on. I think this is up there as one of my favorite teas of all time. Its great iced, its great as a latte, its great straight. Its smooth and sweet. I love it so much I am ordering a second pouch :) Because I couldn’t bear it if he ran out.

Lucky tea #13 from Traveling Tea Box C

This is a fun and very sweet way to kick off another day of tea box sampling! I get the candy corn flavor in a mild way – it’s not in your face, but it does make its presence known.

This was offered as a freebie with my last 52teas order. I don’t like candy corn to begin with because I find them to be too sickeningly sweet, but I thought I might like this one anyway. I didn’t find this to be as true to flavor as other 52teas blends, but it wasn’t bad. I discovered that the candy corn had melted when the tea was brewed, and the last cup in the pot was sweet because of this. If you don’t want sugar in your tea, remove the candy corn pieces prior to brewing…! I didn’t give this a rating because I horribly over-leafed it, so I’ll rate it once I properly brew a cup or pot of it.

This is literally candy corn in a cup its so good. And I am obsessed with candy corn, my mom sent me a care package with a 5 pound bag of candy corn. if 52teas is having any kind of black friday/cyber monday deal i will deff be ordering some of this from them…. who am i kidding i will probably end up ordering some anyway :)

Backlog! Had this at our tea party and everyone loved it. Sweet with a nice black base. :)
