drank Caramel & Rum by Lupicia
735 tasting notes

This was a freebie in my last Lupicia order… my last ever, I should say. I went back a couple days ago and everything was sold out. Sigh. RIP.

My first thought when I saw the sachets was “Oh no… rooibos.” Luckily I had some coffee before work, so I got my caffeine fix. Otherwise, this would be quite the disappointment. I need that buzz to continue to adult!

The aroma is very rum-like. So much that I worry my boss might smell it and get suspicious. I am also smelling buttery caramel and maybe coconut? Yum. It makes me think of a sweet after-dinner nightcap. Once it cools, I taste straight up butterscotch. This doesn’t taste alcoholic at all. Just smells like it. No, the flavor is so smooth and caramelly. I’m also getting notes of vanilla, and yes, coconut. And maybe eggnog or something? The rooibos flavor is there, but it compliments the sweets. I really like this and am sad it’s the only time I’ll get to enjoy it.

Damn Lupicia for constantly making me rethink my rooibos prejudices!

Quiet, strange, and in love with the world of tea. Living just outside of Atlanta. Cat lover, electronic music geek, balcony gardener, and collector of fossils. On the hunt for the perfect tea in each of my favorite categories.

After 10 years on Steepster, I have given up. The lack of maintenance, updates, and mobile compatibility have finally discouraged me. I still use my Cupboard and add teas to the database, but I won’t be logging teas anymore.
