I will admit, I was not looking forward to this one at all. Between nuts (fine, but not a favorite), the word “brulee” (often a sign of unpleasant sweetness to come), and rooibos (ew), this seemed like a bad fit for me all around.

I am so pleased to be wrong!

The toasted caramel flavor is prominent, with the nuts a pleasant background note for some more depth. The black tea in the blend does some heavy lifting too; in all, I don’t even notice the rooibos. This was delicious hot, still pleasant cool, and it has made my “buy more” list for the season.

I’m quite excited! It’s treats like these that make advents and sample boxes so fun.

Thanks again, AJRimmer! I almost didn’t write a note for this, since on the first steep session I was convinced it was the wrong tea. It seemed more vanilla than hazelnut. The second steep session, I can taste a BIT more of the hazelnut, but it still seems like a very sweet vanilla to me. But I was seeing jasmine which was odd. The description mentioned oolong, black tea, rooibos, but I wasn’t seeing any oolong. And the name just didn’t fit. It’s fine if I just taste it as it is and not expect anything!

This is my new favorite tea! All of the flavors balance super well – the cornflowers bring a delicate floral sweetness to the spicy nuttiness, and I’m not sure if it is the blend of oolong and rooibos, but I don’t get the vaguely bitter aftertaste with this blend that I typically do with nut teas. I personally add beet sugar crystals and a splash of cream, and it’s worth drinking even in 90° summer weather.

Since the sliders don’t work well on mobile, I steep at 195° for 7 minutes. (I prefer a little bit lower temps with a longer steep time, I like my tea strong)

Flavors: Nutty, Spicy, Sweet

Ooh beet sugar crystals are a new one for me

Shae

Same here! Is it similar to rock sugar in size/sweetness?

Melissa Winigman

Yeah! So I’m a super big hippie and found that they’re a more sustainable option, and actually are cheaper per ounce than amber cane sugar crystals! But they look about the same, with no artificial colors either. My account is still new so I’m not able to post photos but if you look up Spice Lab Beet Sugar on amazon you should be able to see what it looks like! :)

Found it! Adding it to my list to try. Thank you!

Nattie

I will definitely be trying that out, thanks!

Thanks to Plum Deluxe for the sample! The nuttiness is the main flavor. If you’re in the mood for something nutty, this would definitely do the trick. This blend is more rooibos than anything else, which I’m a fan of. Nuts and quality rooibos just combine so deliciously. I’m not sure I notice the black tea there too much. Really, this is a tasty, deep blend. I’m glad these samples are so big because I’m going to enjoy several cups of this one!

Nattie

Sounds lovely! Anything with chestnut really draws me in.

AJRimmer

Yeah if I’m ordering teas from a company, I’ll basically buy every nutty blend. They’re just so good!
