This is the T2 Creme Brulee, described as a ‘decadent sweet treat’ where ‘velvety vanilla plays with rich caramel and smooth hazelnuts in a gorgeously golden brew’.
The tea is a loose leaf black tea blended with natural and artificial flavouring and hazelnut praline.
Steeping 3 g of loose leaf in 200 mL of water at 85°C for 3 minutes, the infusion was a golden red-brown colour with a sweet, caramel aroma. Served hot, clear sweet notes of caramel came through at the head of each sip before the velvety vanilla emerged in the body ahead of an enjoyably nutty hazelnut notes finish that lingered in the aftertaste. This tea has a smooth mouthfeel and is surprising for its restraint in using caramel and vanilla, with the sweetness having a natural subtlety that does not compete with the warmth and sweetness of the black tea base and recalled the Madame Flavour Caramel Oolong.
This T2 Creme Brulee contained 100 g. It was packed in Morocco and received as a gift from acquaintances in Sydney, Australia in 2019.
