While I definitely notice the flavorings, to me this comes across as a black tea first and foremost, with backup voices from the caramel and marshmallow, as opposed to a flavored tea, where the base usually gets the supporting role (does this make sense? I hope it makes sense). It all comes together very nicely, the marshmallow smoothing out the CTC and the caramel giving it extra richness. It doesn’t really taste like Nina’s Paris’ Je t’aime (before that went downhill), but it reminds me of the concept, and it makes a great morning cup.
