S'mores

This is the best S’mores labelled tea that actually kinda tastes like its name. Pretty tasty as a latte.

I may have a new favourite dessert tea! When my samples from VariaTEA arrived on Friday, the whole package smelled amazing, and this was the culprit. I absolutely loved it. The sweet. creamy marshmallow, the pastry graham cookie flavour, the rich cocoa. This whole blend was phenomenal, and I will definitely be buying from this company in the future just for this.

Plus, it resteeps twice and is great in a latte or plain.

This loser has never had a s’more in her life, but I can only imagine what one would taste like based on its components. Based on my imagination, I’d say this represents a s’more very nicely, if I do say so myself. This is the fourth time having it before reviewing it, and I’ve noticed that the base can change based on parameters. There’s a subtle campfire smokiness that comes out if you brew this more strongly, for example. Otherwise, there’s a consistent gooey marshmallow taste enrobed in chocolate. Graham cracker? Not so much. Maybe a touch at the end, but I still feel like that sweetness is just that marshmallow again and not necessarily graham cracker.

I used to love Della Terra’s S’mores tea. Like obsessed. As in ripping through a couple hundred grams of it, but I found with that one, as time went on, it started getting sweeter and sweeter to me. The liquor was murky from the chocolate or whatever else and I just wasn’t enjoying it as much. This one doesn’t have that murkiness or overwhelming sweetness. Overall, this is worth checking out if you like s’mores and s’more-related food and drink.

The leaf for this has little graham cracker crumb marshmallows and you can taste them. This is definitely a good s’mores tea, up there with the likes of the Della Terra one, if not better. The base is mild but thick enough to support the heavy flavors of S’mores. The chocolate is smooth and milky which compliments the marshmallow sweetness beautifully. The graham also pops up making for the complete package. Delicious!
