"The cream is not a subtle tea~ that said, it's an excellent dessert or blending base tea. It has a strong nose, evocative of dulce de leche, or even butterscotch~ the first time I made it my 7 year old walked in the room and asked if i was making pancakes. It works well on it's own if you want a heavier, sweet flavored tea- the only caveat being it isn't likely to be something i'd drink several cups in a row of. A bit of cream & sugar would make it a lovely brew for a cold morning on an empty stomach, and if you're looking for something to divert your sweet tooth, this would be the perfect choice. Again, i think it's best asset lies in it's ability to work as a strong base that melds well with just about anything; bearing in mind it's a strong aroma, and when blending you might want to overcompensate anything more subtle in order to keep the cream from overpowering it. Brew anywhere from 2-5 minutes, depending on the strength of tea you like; at near but not actually boiling."

"This tea makes me happy. It's not so much a tea tha tastes like cream, it's more like a tea that tastes like soft, and sweet, and when you put cream in it it does this wonderful mellowing thing that you simply have to try. Even more than most of the flavored ceylons, this one is awesome blended with other tastes. "

"This is a good desert tea, and possibly a morning tea. It has a ton of body, and be forewarned that oversteeping will ruin the cup completely. Although I usually take my tea black (or green or whatever it happens to be naturally) I think a splash of almond milk compliments this blend very well."

"I love black tea with a spot of milk and honey in the morning. One day I realized it would be even more delicious with some creamy taste! I don't like using normal creamer though, so now I add a dash of this cream flavored tea and it is great. Smells lovely too."

"I read that there were some negative reviews due to a 'fakey' taste and aroma. I would agree in the sense that it doesn't taste quite like a milky cup of black tea. That being said, if you order this tea in innocence, and expect nothing of it until you try it, you should be pleased. Taken for its own merits, this is a lovely tea as a sweet snack. Probably very excellent as a blending tea as well. I look forward to experimenting! Will likely re-order!"
