Bagged blasphemy! This one is really good. I actually have the same tea but just renamed as Cardamom Caramel Sweet Journey Tea. I knew I would like it, but I didn’t expect to like it nearly as much as I did. The first time I brewed it, it was around two minutes and thirty to forty five seconds and it was perfect. Primarily sweet, and strongly flavored by the caramel and subtly spicy with a playful fruity background from the blackberry leaves. Steep 2 at four minutes, the caramel remains but the cardamom really shines with blackberry leaves. Also tasty cold- you really get the smaller flavors this time.
Yeah, I’m rating another bagged tea in the nineties.Keep in mind that I think about price when I’m rating teas, and this was about $11 bucks for 50 bags. Considering how flavorful this tea can be, and me being a college student on the go, this is what I need. Now; Revolution Tea’s Blackberry Jasmine and Dragon Eye are on my hit list for bagged teas. Teatulia’s bagged oolong is coming to me soon. And now waiting on a few selections of loose leaf…
Flavors: Blackberry, Caramel, Cardamom, Creamy, Malt, Sweet, Vanilla
Hey, nothing wrong with a bagged tea if it tastes delicious.
Agreed, as long as the taste + cost as good, rate it however you feel :). I had the same occurrence this summer with iced teas: some bagged teas from Celestial Seasonings (true blueberry + black cherry) made better iced teas than almost all of the other loose leaf fruit blends I had all summer at 1/4 of the price! Not to mention there’s no filter to clean up with bags :)
