Last time I had this, I wasn’t getting any of the popcorn flavor. I thought it was because I was also having real popcorn at the time. Not so. I’m not getting any popcorn this time either. It just tastes like a candy apple. In a really fake way. The maple gives it a lovely syrupy/caramel smell. Unfortunately that’s the only thing I’m enjoying about this tea. The taste is just too cloyingly artificial. I don’t even really want to finish drinking it…
Other people don’t seem to have had the same impression. Maybe I overbrewed?
UPDATE: I had the opportunity to try it again after it cooled. Tasted just like caramel corn. I’m not sure that I like that in a tea, but it’s substantially better than the flavor I was getting when it was hot. One serving left – maybe next time I can draw out that caramel corn flavor while the tea is still hot.
