Hey Paddy! Over here! Irish cream notes enhanced with sweet caramel.
T’was James Joyce himself who said, “When I makes tea, I makes tea.” Well, we can’t write like James Joyce, but we can make tea—as you’re soon to discover. In homage of the famed scribe and his beloved Dublin, we’ve crafted this incredible Irish-cream inspired cuppa. Enjoy it, folks.

I like the idea behind this tea – an Irish Cream/Caramel with the cute little four leaf clover and golden sprinkles sounds really fun, even if I don’t usually like sprinkles in my tea. This also seems to be a “unique” blend that T Kettle is carrying – not an obvious replication of anything from DT… So, my expectations were a little higher.
It’s a fine tasting tea, but honestly I don’t think it does what it was trying to. It’s sweet, for sure, and a bit creamy but it neither tastes particularly of Irish Cream or caramel. What it reminds me of is fondant – definitely that sweet doughy kind of quality. I think it’s partially from the black tea base though; it’s just malty/bread-y in a way that plays up those flavour notes. It’s also just a bit astringent, but I actually found myself relieved there was astringency to break up/add more character to the otherwise pretty one note flavour.
I feel like, with experimentation or maybe some additions like milk, this could be a nice tea – but for me it was a little too simple, without the accuracy of the described flavours.
