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.

Preparation

chai (because, you know, the spices)
rooibos (I don’t get it. Everyone seems psyched for it. Not me).
those smoky teas, like lapsang souchong, though once in a while I’ll need something really strong and then I like them.
