What a fun, unique blend! I could see this making a fantastic Hanukkah gift (the little sprinkles are so cute!) or a great party beverage served in a glass teapot (it’s full of little gold sparkles!) The flavor isn’t super special, but it’s delicious: very smooth and creamy with a lot of marshmallow sweetness and a hint of burnt caramel that mostly comes out in the aftertaste.

Okay no rating for this yet. I want to try it at home (I’m at work at the moment) and possibly as a latte…

This tea smells AMAZING! And its so adorable. I love the little stars, shiny balls and marshmallows. However once I steeped this I got a coffee smell… weird! And uh oh cause I HATE coffee :( So disappointing. I’m not sure if I over steeped as I got distracted with a customer for a few mins, or if that’s just how this tea goes. Upon tasting it I got small hints of marshmallow and very little caramel and a whole lotta black tea. Boo!

I really wanted to love this because it smells amazing and its adorable! Upon reading some reviews It seems that others have noted it can be finicky. So maybe on the next steep It’ll be better.

Nevertheless thank you Ost for the sample!

Side Note: I’m starting to notice my taste buds aren’t too fond of black tea lately… I honestly thought black tea was a favourite, however with experimenting more and branching out, lately I’m finding myself enjoying rooibos and herbals much more and finding that blacks are all tasting the same… And by the same I mean over powering base, and somewhat bitter :(

I made this plain for my boyfriend and as a vanilla latte for myself. I’m not sure I’d do it as a latte again because it seemed to wash out the base tea and marshmallow altogether. It just mostly tasted like caramel milk. Without anything added, it was more interesting to drink. Not my absolute favorite, though.

This a very attractive tea. Cute little Star of David marshmallows and little gold balls. What fun!

The tea is a nice caramel/burnt sugar flavor with vanilla and a touch of marshmallow with a nice black tea. I added a bit of stevia just like usual.
The temp is -3 F and a snowstorm is coming.
Yummy tea to pass the evening with a good book.

Flavors: Caramel, Marshmallow, Vanilla

I have a serious backlog because I had to have major surgery and haven’t been able to review. I am on the mend, but most of my current notes will be short and sweet in an attempt to catch up.

This is a sipdown and will be missed. I enjoyed this sweet and sugary (literally like burnt sugar at times) dessert blend with a dash of milk to make it creamier. Will probably be a reorder for the next holiday season.

This is really nice. Sweet, marshmallow, caramel type of nice. I’m not getting much of the base but it seems like a great tea for when you just want something sweet. It smells great, in fact I started to review it before I ever had a drink, forgetting that I hadn’t had a drink yet!

The aftertaste is pure marshmallow, which I’m really enjoying. I don’t feel great today and this tea is giving me a little hug.

Sounds delightful!

This is a sample from Ost. I haven’t really enjoyed Della Terra’s teas in the past, but their flavors always sound so good that I want to try more anyway. This one is supposed to be marshmallow and caramel, and the tea leaves are mixed with mini marshmallows and cute little colorful sprinkles. Dry scent is sweet but somewhat artificial.

Nope, this one’s not for me. It tastes like generic, somewhat woody black tea mixed with artificial dessert flavoring. I guess it could be caramel flavoring, but the artificial quality of it is making me go ick. :(

Tabby

Aw, that’s what I was afraid of.

Cameron B.

Other people seem to really enjoy their teas, so maybe I’m just overly sensitive to something in their flavoring.

Tabby

I’m kind of on the fance about them, too. Their blends are pretty unique, but not particularly well-executed.

Cameron B.

To be fair, I’m steadily becoming more and more picky with flavored teas…

Fjellrev

Oh man, their stuff is just WAY too sweet for me.

Kittenna

I never picked up on the hype about this one – just didn’t work for me. But I do quite like some of there stuff, for whatever reason.

Backlog:

Had this one last night! Whenever I open my tin of this I’m hit by the magical aroma of caramel and marshmallows!
Took it in a traveling mug while I was out and about, and seemed to be okay, which is good! But I’d rather enjoy it more in a mug at home.
Still a wonderful tea though! Will enjoy drinking this more and more! This and Winter Nogg!

Flavors: Caramel, Chocolate, Marshmallow, Sweet

Nightshifter

I need to try this! I planned to last year and forgot to put it in my shopping cart. Not this time!

Ost

Yes! It’s a must try!! :D

I may have to check out this one. Never heard of Della Terra Teas, so this is a brand new one for me. :)

So much for my love of flavored teas :-/
I taste the marshmallows, but the base tea is much to watery & weak
and it just doesn’t stand up to the marshmallows and sweetness well.
For me, the base tea needs to be much heavier.
Mostly with this one I just get overly sweet with little substance.
The really sad part is the dry tea looked and smelled so yummy…
sigh…perhaps my expectations were too high.

Flavors: Marshmallow

Cameron B.

Aw sad, this is one I’m interested in trying. I’m sorry that you didn’t like it. D:

TheTeaFairy

I’m with you, I know it’s VERY popular, but I just can’t stand this tea.

CelebriTEA

Well, we all have different tastes ;-)
The fact that we are all different is what makes this world interesting
