This was specifically the reason for my return visit to Savoy Tea Company. (Oh, who am I kidding? It’s a decent tea shop less than two hours from my front door. Of course I’m going to stop there every time it’s possible.)
Must be one of their more popular blends, because when I placed my bulk order, the lady asked if I’d read on Facebook that it had just come back in.
What grabbed me on the first sample pack was the luscious creamy caramel texture and flavor with a little bergamot thrown in. First cup out of this batch, I noticed more bergamot and it was a little pushy. (Stand back, you, and let the caramel through!)
I’ll check time and temp more closely next time around and see if I can whip it back into submission. Otherwise, I may just have to go to the Ozarks again. Darn.
Ironically enough, this was MY reason for a second visit to the shop as well—I ran out of my first package of this and HAD to have some more. Good stuff.
So… caramel and bergamot. Is this like Paris from H&S?
I’m looking at the Savoy Tea Co’s website…hello chocolate truffle…, mmm apricot ceylon…
Ginger honey peach….Paris morning…
It’s really similar to Indian Nimbu by Harney & Sons, if you’ve ever tried it.
Love Nimbu. I’ll really have to get by Savoy Tea Co
