This is a review of our loose leaf tea, Cream Caramel Rooibos. It was reviewed by by liber-teas of The Tea Review Blog.

Oh My Goodness! This tea smells so good! It smells just like creamy, sweet caramel with a hint of nutty deliciousness. As it brews the aroma intensifies which only increases the anticipation! YUM!

The flavor is delightful. I mean, really, why wouldn’t it be? It’s caramel!

The red rooibos base tastes nutty and a little woody. Other than that, though, the rooibos flavor is pretty undistinguished. The rooibos seems pretty content to let the flavors of caramel and cream do all the work in this cup.

And that’s great because the caramel and cream taste really good! Creamy, sweet, and rich like a piece of gooey caramel – but without the sticky mess and without all the calories and fat of a gooey caramel candy.

Element Tea describes this rooibos blend as:

The aroma alone will get your tummy turning. Caramel bits and silky cream blend together to create a dessert tea you will, undoubtedly, indulge in time and time again.

This is deliciously comforting served hot on a chilly evening – or if you really want to go wild, try it in a latte! I contemplated making a latte myself, but I found that the plain, hot cup (which was anything BUT plain) was so tasty that I couldn’t stop sipping it long enough to steam some milk and froth it for a latte! Perhaps you’ll have better luck with that, but if you enjoy caramel as much as I do, I doubt it!
