Just…can’t get enough. It’s at the point now where I can anticipate the taste from just imagining the smell, which… is just so smooth. Perfect for the changing seasons (btw…when IS it going to get cold?).
This tea just keeps inching itself toward the happy, green faced man licking his lips. I think I settled on 5 1/2 minutes as my ideal steep time with a temp right around 185 degrees.
I was sooooo happy when I opened the TTB and found a bunch of McNulty Teas – I have never had them before…so this is AWESOME! I only took a samples-worth or two of the ones I took so others would be able to try as well.
The scent isn’t overly caramel or overly black tea.
It’s medium to medium-dark brown in color. The taste is caramel but black and a bit sweet…the sweetness seems to increase as the sip advances in my mouth and down my throat. It’s pretty darn yummy and this is coming from someone who can ‘take or leave’ caramel.
I took two teaspoons of this as well – maybe I’ll have it tonight!
That’s Mike’s uber-inspiring caramel tea! Oh no, it’s too late for me to make tea now. I wants caramel tea….
Don’t you get the box back at the end??? MAYBE there will be some left!? LOL I would send some to you but I only took a sample…hum…
I have a caramel tea myself. I’ve been drinking it recently because it’s in the to-be-finished pile. But I always feel like making some of it, when I saw Mike posting about his. :)
I, too, got this one from the TTB. And I’m so glad I did! I don’t know much about McNulty, but I’m a fan of caramel, so I took a sample’s worth. It’s another tea that is more about the tea than the flavoring; just the way I like it! I had it with waffles for breakfast this morning, but I think it would have been even better on its own. I recommend it!

…global warming…is trying to kill the hot tea industry. I guess there’s always iced tea
Damn you global warming! shakes fist
You want some of our cold rain? I’d be more than happy to some of it [all of it] your way. Or exchange it for snow.
Speaking of global warming, did anyone else see the Sun Tea episode of 30 Rock? Hot damn I love that show.
@takgoti…yeah saw that :) Good episode, great show!
