Creme Brulee

Another from MissB i have to say this was was pretty pleasant. I think i like bayswater’s version just a little more, but not with a huge degree of conviction lol. This has got some great caramel/vanilla notes in it and even as it cooled it maintained that delicious taste. happy to have tried this one! thanks missb!

The box recommends honey as a sweetener, but I disagree. Two parts white sugar, 1 part honey (use the amount you’d normally do, just eyeball amounts).

I love this tea. It smells so good in every sips I take. The taste of the caramel wasn’t strong but it still tastes good with a scent of vanilla & hazelnut. This would be in my favourite list. Added a little bit of honey, and the it tasted even better.

After trying this a few more times, I’ve decided that this is indeed, a very good tea. Not sure why I wasn’t enamoured by the sample, but since receiving a whole box of this as a gift from T2, I’ve been making it in my T2 flask to take to work a few times a week.
Aroma and mouthfeel are both of the creme brulee variety and this has been an enjoyable experience.

I’ve found that brewing for four minutes at a slightly lower temperature (as opposed to shorter steeping times in boiling) prevents the bitterness that others have mentioned in their notes.

Yummy :)

If caramel and hazelnuts were to have a tea baby with vanilla as Auntie, this would be that tea.

Fantastic Tea. I was worried it would be too rich and sweet, but not at all. A great morning or afternoon tea. Not one you could drink all day, but essential for the shelf.

im not a milky tea person, but this tea has swayed me. great morning tea with a tea spoon of honey and some milk

A good occasional tea, if you like sweet teas. It works quite lovely with cream and a teaspoon of sugar in the evening, but isn’t something I could have all the time.
You have to really like sweet tea though, and the steep time is really a hit-or-miss thing.
