So happy to have this in the cupboard again, it’s even better than I remembered. While toasted coconut and caramel are the dominant flavors, there really is a buttered rum note to this that adds a lot of nuance. And if you sniff the bag, it smells positively alcoholic. I feel like this tea strikes a nice balance between flavored and unflavored tea, in that the flavoring isn’t as pushy as it is in a lot of fruity black teas, but some of the notes you might find in a plain black – malty, caramel, toasted – are way dialed up.
Also, that shredded coconut looks so pretty with the black tea.
