This tea smells so lovely out of the tin. It does have a very strong smell, but it’s a burnt sugar, caramel, nutty smell that I love. It’s made with Irish Breakfast so it’s a full-bodied black tea, malty taste which means it is possible to oversteep it.

But! It’s lovely. It’s sweet, warm and has a lovely almond flavour. It feels like burnt butter or burnt sugar, the crispy bottom of a cinnamon roll, that sort of thing. I enjoy it because the sweetness has a real depth and taste to it, it’s not just blindingly sweet. It’s lovely in autumn, but also perfect for any time of year.

Flavors: Almond, Burnt Sugar, Butterscotch, Caramel, Malt, Maple, Nuts

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 4 min, 15 sec 2 tsp 10 OZ / 300 ML

More tea, vicar?
