Scotland meets China in this decadent blend! This shou Pu-erh begins with the familiar earthy, musty character – but combined with the sweetness of caramel and toffee, it delivers a sweet, burnt, sugary flavor that’s a perfect treat. This tea is like dessert in a cup – and delivers a sweet, decadent finish. A great introduction to pu-erh tea!
Ingredients: Pu-erh tea, butterscotch pieces, almond pieces, and natural flavors.

A sample from whatshesaid a couple years ago now!
By the time I got to this, it was sadly lukewarm. However, I do have enough leaf for another fresh cup, so that’s good (plus I plan to resteep these leaves). In terms of this cup, it definitely has a caramel scent with a hint of butter in the scent as well, which is delicious and it translates to a subtle caramel taste. The base tea is quite smooth and velvet-y, which I think is thanks to the caramel as well, with a hint of earthiness in both the scent and taste. The scent of caramel and earthiness is stronger than the actual taste, but I don’t mind.
Too funny!
I was just talking about (in my Chocolate Orange review) how I wanted to try the Scottish Caramel Pu-erh that seems to exist all over Steepster in many incarnations.
Not sure now similar this one is to others but I didn’t even know I owned it!
My husband had signed me up for a TOTM club for my birthday in 2013, unfortunately most of the teas came when I was pregnant and totally opposed to the idea of drinking it (not morally, it just turned my stomach)…. So they all remained sealed in my kitchen cupboard because I was hoping to preserve their freshness and recently decided I wanted to drink some others down before opening new ones.
I was doing a little tea inventory earlier and found this, awesome surprise!
I really enjoyed it. It was more of the deep, “burnt caramel” toffee taste vs the creamy buttery type, but it worked well with the pu’erh. I loved how rich it brewed up!
I was able to add so much milk and it stayed thick and hearty and delicious!
I’m looking forward to trying some straight pu-erh and might do a pricy Lupicia order one day to try their offerings.
I guess the other one I will have to try someday is that Cinnamon Swirl Bread by Steap Shoppe that I’ve seen people raving about!
Ooh, what teas did you choose? :D
I chose Rhubarb & Custard, Vicky’s Sponge Cake, and a 20g of Carrot Cake (mostly for Lex because she can’t do caffeine at all). :)
I love Rhubarb & Custard!
