Tea & Cards TTB
Dry this tea has an intense caramel aroma that basically assaults you when you open up the bag. I was expecting it to be a little more subtle once brewed, but after a quick 3 minute steep the caramel is so thick and cloying that you can’t really get to the black tea flavours in behind it.
The positive aspects of the caramel come out best in the aftertaste – it’s smooth and lingers all over the inside of your mouth – but there is a bit of a slimy mouthfeel left over that I find rather unpleasant…and I think that would keep me from buying this again.
