Creme Brûlée

I think I bought this once, didn’t really like it, forgot that I had tried it already and bought it again. Well here is my tea note to say don’t buy this again. Its ‘not that bad’ but after the creamy vanilla caramel taste, it turns chalky and artificial. I think I have the same issue with their vanilla tea. So lets hope I remember to not buy this again, at least it was reasonably priced as are all maya teas!

I have been on such an iced dessert tea kick lately. It’s been pretty much all I’ve been drinking at work to get my day started.

First of all, this tea is so reasonably priced for what you get. Seriously, it’s $7 for 4 oz. Of course, that’s what made me a little wary of Maya Teas, as I’m new to them as a company. So the Creme Brulee was all I bought. But the quality is actually very good! Since then, I’ve gone back and bought a few more to try.

The aroma is incredibly powerful. This is one of those teas where you open the pouch and POOF, the whole kitchen smells like sweet maple syrup and brown sugar. I can’t say much for the quality of the black tea base because it is absolutely obliterated by mapley creme brulee flavor. It reminds me so much of French toast and pancakes. Also, I should note that my husband doesn’t like tea, but he really enjoys this one. Anyway, all around good dessert tea, and I will be investigating more by this company.

Gentle, creamy sweetness. Wonderful with a bit of honey and milk. As I always do with my teas, I blend this with a base tea (like an Assam or English Breakfast) to get just the right level of flavor – tea ratio for my tastes. But out of all the flavored teas I’ve tried so far, this one seems to have the most staying power. I have this one as part of my morning blend nearly every day.
