Ooey Gooey Sticky Buns

I had this tea so long ago at this point. Like, days before the database crash. So all my thoughts about it have sort of been wiped clean at this point, which is frustrating because I definitely had a lot of observations while drinking the tea! I guess for now all I’ll say is that this blend definitely possessed that sort of “sweet brown” sort of molasses-y caramel taste but that’s it’s kindddaaaa perfect for the concept. I do think it’s one of the nicest blends from Almost, and from what I can recall pretty accurate to the name.

Very good tea tastes like a caramel pastry. The smell is stronger then the taste though. I will have to try it as a latte. I ordered the caffeine variety box and they sent me the decaf by mistake. Kind of disappointed but I wanted to try this one too. Looking forward to trying the other six flavors too.

Got my Almost subscription for… I guess December? It’s a little confusing because they don’t ship it out until the end of the month, so does that mean it’s supposed to be for that month or the next one…? No idea. Regardless, this is the current one.

Decaffeinated black tea… why?! I don’t get it, especially when there are three other caffeine-free blends in the set. The leaf was tiny tiny, basically like fannings, so I didn’t bother cutting open the sachets. I only steeped it for two minutes because it got dark quite quickly.

As far as the taste, it’s not bad. It does have a gooey brown sugary flavor that could be a sticky bun. To be honest, I’m not sure I’ve ever had a sticky bun, all of the rolled bun type things I’ve ever eaten have had cinnamon. But this does have a caramel flavor to it, so makes sense I suppose. The black tea tastes like nothing and is super thin, sigh.

The flavoring is pretty nice though, it does taste like a caramelized brown sugar syrup, almost like black sugar boba.
