Alright, I stand by my review that this tea tastes mediocre by itself.

However, as a latte, this tea is incredible. I can taste cream, salt, and caramel along with the toned-down smokiness and sweetness. It’s like a grown up version of Carnation without the cloying sugar rush.

If I was given the choice between this and a regular milk and cocoa powder based hot chocolate, I’d probably pick this one. I’m just not sure I’d want to buy it to keep it on hand for hot chocolate tea lattes, and I’m still a little peeved about the Stevia (as always).

Flavors: Caramel, Chocolate, Cream, Creamy, Hay, Sweet

Preparation

195 °F / 90 °C 5 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

My foray into steeping happened with tin of Oreo cookie and salted chocolate caramel tea, back in college in 2009. I probably bought them for the novelty more than the taste— which sounds like a reason for many of my college-era purchases. The lovely little tea store was bought out by David’s Tea soon after I finished college. While I do enjoy getting tea from places other than malls, it’s difficult to find quality without going online. Most of my stash ends up being from there due to convenience.

I’m an early childhood educator. Tea is a big part of my daily life. I’ve yet to find anything as soothing and as energizing as it.

I’m on a big kick of blacks and herbals, especially straight ones.

90-100: Must get more of this. One sample isn’t enough.
80-89: Great! Would drink it again sometime
60-79: Decent, but probably won’t go back for more
40-59: Glad I tried, but one cup is enough
~40: No thanks. Never again!
