Toffee Popcorn

207/365

I am forever searching for a tea to equal David’s Movie Night that’s easily accessible in the UK. This one is probably the closest I’ve come so far. It smells right – all buttery, nutty, sweet, toffee-coated popcorn. The flavour is almost there, too – maybe a little light on the toffee, but the popcorn is pretty spot-on. The initial few sips are magical, although in successive sips I find I’m separating and identifying ingredients rather than tasting it as a cohesive whole. I guess that’s what I’ve trained myself to do, but it’s a little distracting in this case. For example, I can taste fennel seed, pistachio, nut brittle, and then apple. It’s like, as a flavour, it doesn’t quite hold together. It’s still really good, but I think it might shine more as a latte. That might help to heighten the toffee notes a bit, and add the extra sweetness I’m looking for. It’s pretty good, though – I like it a lot more than I expected to!

Holy crap. The smell of this tea is good enough to eat. Nutty, sweet, salty, with the tiniest faint hint of fruity but just barely. Mostly nutty/salty/caramel…And omg you guys…please listen to me…PLEASE listen. This is the most delicious tasting tea I’ve ever had in my entire life. I dont say that lightly. Please try this..please. I paid for international shipping and I’m gonna do it again because this is so good. It tastes like an actual biscotti cookie- not like biscotti flavored tea, but like the actual cookie- not cherry-like…but more of like that vanilla almond flavor but then with caramel mixed with this salty sweet smell its just unbelievable. Ive never seen anything like it. This company is pretty dang great. This is my first tea from them and i WILL be ordering more.
