Rooibos Crème Caramel: Reviewed
by Owen Roberts • 14th January 2014
“Rooibos crème caramel is a solid desert tea offering from the good folks at teapigs.
On eye, you'll notice the tea is ground more finely than that of most of teapigs' selection, fortunately this doesn't detract from the flavour of the tea, on a *very* minor note however, it will mean some rooibos strands will find there way out of the tea temples and will leave mid-infusion and gather at the bottom of your mug of choice.
The tea once infused is a lovely dark amber/maple colour and on the nose I picked up the aromas of roasted almonds, honey and caramel.
On taste I found myself picking up on a full bodied Rooibos with a short but sweet nectar finish, along with but to a lesser extent the flavours found on the nose.
If you found yourself trying straight Rooibos tea and want something with added natural sweetness, or just something a little bit more without diminishing the straight Rooibos taste, I'd recommend you give this tea a go.
Interestingly, some tea temples contain caramel chunks and some do not. As you might assume the ones with the chunks are slightly sweeter, however a side by side (or cup by cup) comparison made me realise there wasn't a whole lot of difference between the two flavour-wise, so don't be disappointed if your first temple out of the bag is chunk-free.
This tea would work very well after a meal instead of a desert.”
