I was so excited to get this tea! To be honest, I’m not sure if I made it properly since the caramel pieces wouldn’t melt when I pulled out the infuser. If anybody has any advice on how I can cause the caramel pieces to melt – that would be great! And I used boiling water for this too. Maybe I should use a lower temperature next time?
This smells lovely. Like a strong, predominantly sugary and caramel note. I also shook the bag to disperse the salt evenly.
Taste: This tea tastes really salty, and less sweet. And it is not like a coarse sea salt, but like a table salt flavour. It reminds me of when I sprinkled some table salt into my caramel tea to mimic a salted caramel flavour. I also got a hint of oolong.
But this tea feels like it is all aroma, but no taste. I added a heaping tablespoon of honey to this, which helped amplified the caramel note and also complemented the salty elements of this tea. I think this is a bit too salty for me, but I will try finishing it off slowly I guess.
Flavors: Brown Sugar, Caramel, Salt, Salty
