I absolutely love sweet, creamy, chewy caramels. I also absolutely love tea, so the opportunity to enjoy the two together is a treat that I am looking forward to as I review this blend. The sample smells wonderful, the sweetness of the caramel is more prevalent in the aroma than the black tea base, but there is also a note of something almost chocolatey.After allowing it to steep for 3 minutes in boiling water, the aroma is still very similar to that of the dry leaves. The little chunks of caramel melt completely, which is a plus. Some vendors include larger pieces of caramel, that don't always melt completely during the standard black tea brewing period. When I have tried to allow them to brew longer, I usually end up with a bitter cup because the black tea has brewed too long.
Back to TeaGschwendner Caramel...it brews up a lovely dark amber color. Caramel is obviously the star of the show, but the black tea base is mellow and smooth, with just a hint of chocolate at the end of the sip. The caramel leaves a sweet aftertaste. This is a tea that is decadently sweet on its own, but would probably be very good with a bit of cream also. Due to the depth of the sweetness of this one, it probably is not one that I would drink on a daily basis, but for those times when you are in the mood for a tea to help satisfy a sweet tooth, this would be an amazing one to have on hand.
