Phew!!! This tea smells strong like alcohol. I have never had rum before, so I cannot comment on how accurately it smells like it, but I did not find the smell pleasant (but then again, I do not find the smell of alcohol pleasant either). But I am surprised they could capture such a strong alcohol fragrance in a tea.
To be honest, I am not sure how to feel about this tea. I added milk and sugar to do this and made it stove-top style. It had some good coconut and vanilla notes with a hint of alcohol near the end.
I know many people described this as a buttered rum lifesaver? I have never had that or buttered rum flavoured anything before, but I guess this has a candy like quality to it if you add milk and sugar.
I will not repurchase this because I did not enjoy this as a latte, which is what I mostly bought it for. But I think that might come down to my taste buds since I mostly like my lattes to be spicy, strong masala chai flavours.
I need to try this straight to get an accurate assessment of it. But overall, I am not a fan. But it is palatable. I will try to finish this off.
