Caramel Almond Amaretti

I love this tea. I prefer it to Forever Nuts actually. I remember being disappointed by Forever Nuts, but maybe I wasn’t brewing it right.

I like to add a bit of sweetened condensed milk and have it as a dessert tea, or in bed while I read. I think the shade of pink is delightful!

Imagine carrying the sweet smell of warmed cinnamon sugared almonds in a happy cone cup, while galavanting through a Renaissance Fair, letting your mind drift off to a far off and different time in history….It makes me want to watch Game of Thrones oddly enough.

So yeah, it can be quite a special thing, to smell something that brings you back to memories that bring happy thoughts, as the Renaissance Fair is one of my favorite summer time expeditions. I was head over heals at first sniff, and I felt like the taste couldn’t possibly measure up to the glorious smell. I was so delighted upon the realization that this taste exactly as it smells! My only complaint is I had to brew a generous amount to get the full flavor and it does have a slightly artificial aftertaste. It’s best if steeped for longer than recommended as well (12 min. was good). All in all, this is the ultimate dessert tea, and shines even more w/ your milk and sweetener of choice.
I haven’t had the chance to try David’s Tea, Forever Nuts, to compare the two, but will have a go at that next. I was happy to hear that I have an alternative, as apparently Teavana’s version is only available in the Fall.

When I saw the name: Caramel Almond Amaretti, I knew I just had to try it! And the smell, or should I say, the beautiful wonderful aroma that stimulates all your senses at once, made me want to buy their whole stock!

When I brought got home, the first thing I did was put this straight into the teapot! And guess what! IT TURNED PINK LIKE CRAZY HOT PINK. I never imagined this would ever turn pink. How does that even happen? Amazing!

As for the taste, well that was amazing too! The cinnamon taste is quite strong, but it compliments the almond/nutty taste. I’m not too sure where the caramel comes in, but I’m still not disappointed!

Overall, it’s great, and I’d recommend it to anyone :)
blends well with amandine rose

Awesome taste and aroma!

I love this tea! One of my favorites. The cinnamon and apple come on really strong, in a good way. I never taste any hint of Caramel though, despite that being in the name. Oh well. I let this one steep for a little longer than it says it requires, especially for the second brew. I also add in under a tsp of German rock sugar. I need my tea sweet.

It’s also caffeine free, according to teavana, which is perfect. I gave up soda and don’t want to get hooked again, and my fiance gets headaches from caffeine. This was just another plus.

Tastes exactly like a cinnamon bun, and is easily my favourite to make a latte from when I go to work. The best combo: this tea, vanilla soy milk, and a shot of chocolate syrup!

I made a cup blended with CocoCaramel Sea Salt, and on a whim, decided to add some hazelnut creamer. The result was pretty good, though a tad too sweet for my taste (my husband loved it, but I won’t add the rock sugar if I’m planning to put creamer in it next time).

As Michelle pointed out, adding milk makes it look like Pepto-Bismol, but since I added CocoCaramel Sea Salt, it kind of looks like……a pinkish brownish Pepto. Color aside, it’s pretty good.

I was at Teavana yesterday trying to find teas to buy. When I smelled this tea, it smelled so delicious so I had to buy it! It reminds me of cake or bread or something of that sort. When I poured the boiling water on the tisanes, the water turned into a beautiful pink colour which I was not expecting! I hear this tea is seasonal so I can just buy this tea at David’s Tea since I hear Caramel Almond Amaretti is just like Forever Nuts. What kind of disappointed me is I taste no caramel and I love caramel.
