Just a hint of butterscotch, not the overpowering taste of those butterscotch hard candies my grandmother had in her candy dish when we visited. Yummy almost toffee notes!
Sweet, buttery and whimsical flavors are infused into this dessert tea and rounded off with hints of apple, cocoa nibs, and marigold.

A very sweet tea, my daughters love it with a little vanilla almond milk
Butterscotch tea satisfies my sweet fix. This tea is reminiscent of butterscotch hard candies with a wisp of butterscotch syrup without the cloying aftertaste. It is perfect for cold weather and wouldn't be bad with a splash of rum and a small pat of butter.
This was very tasty. Warm, smooth, and lovely for breakfast. It may not be different enough from Caramel to stock both in the cupboard, but it is definitely worth trying.
This is the first black tea that I tried from Adagio & I really dig it. It has a strong, pleasant butterscotch aroma with a mellow flavor. This will probably end up in the morning rotation again at some point.
Just the fragrance when you open the bag is to die for!!! Is steeps a little more subtle than the smell, but still a great tea.
very delicious and fragrant tea. i highly recommend it.
This tea tastes as advertised - a really rich butterscotch that pairs well with a little cream!
Fabulous winter treat on a rainy evening when you want something sweet. Great rich flavor!
Not my favorite taste. I expected a smoother, creamier butterscotch taste and was disappointed.
One of my favorites! This is a great dessert tea for a fall or winter day
Surprised how much I enjoy this. Very sweet. Desert in a cup.
By far my favorite tea. The flavor is rich. Added a little sugar and it was perfect. I will definitely buy this over and over.
I love this tea both on its own and combined with other flavors; my favorite is a combination of the butterscotch and maple creme oolong, with a splash of milk and sugar.
I don t usually drink black tea or flavored tea, so when I do, I want to taste it. This tea is...fine. There s not a lot of butterscotch flavor in this tea, which is disappointing because I love butterscotch. If this had more flavor, it would be ideal for blending. Unfortunately, I don t have much use for it since it doesn t taste of butterscotch.
I don t know what I did wrong, but the taste was bitter for me, I followed the directions, and I ve been brewing tea for years, I will keep trying since I got a 3oz bag and don t want it to go to waste, but buyer be careful!
The smell when you open the package is strong, and exactly like a butterscotch candy. The smell when brewed is more subtle and loses all butterscotch vibes, it smells more like a fruity caramel. Which is exactly what it tastes like when still hot. As it cooled off, the fruitiness became more prominent, and I also started getting more floral notes (which I didn't care for). By the time I got to the bottom of the mug the tea was cold and the fruity/floral notes had calmed down, and I was getting a little of that butterscotch vibe. What a roller coaster drinking this tea is. I think I will experiment with the rest of the bag and try a cold brew and some sugar to see if that coaxes out more of the butterscotch and buttery notes that the description says it should have. Drinking this as a plain, hot tea did not really do it for me. Unless experimenting proves to make this more butterscotchy, I don't foresee buying it again.
I love this! It s delicious. It s a great way to wake in the morning! Yum
Very strong butterscotch flavor (and scent - you can smell the tea leaves from a room away), but makes a good tea.
Tasty enough but in my opinion it always needs creamer.
The tea has a strong and sweet-smelling scent but sadly falls short in taste.
It smells wonderful but doesn't taste as strong/sweet. Still very good with a little honey.
The butterscotch flavor in this tea does t quite taste like butterscotch. It was as sweet or buttery as I had expected. It wasn’t bad but definitely not my favorite.
Delicious, buttery-rich and deeply flavored. This tea shines with a splash of milk and sugar, or a little creamer. I love it and am absolutely buying more.
This is a staple sweet treat tea in my fall/winter afternoon. I have to be really careful not to over do it as this is so good. Blend it with Chocolate Truffle for something extra special.
this is now my favorite tea. going to blend it with others also. its wonderful
My fave! The butterscotch essence is so creamy and warm to the soul.
The smell is spot on, exactly like butterscotch, but the flavor is a little weak. I drank it with a splash of oatmilk.
I got this as a free sample and just kind of shrugged at it and put it aside. Then I tried it a couple weeks later, and yum! I don't see myself waking up with this at breakfast, but it's a definite treat for a tough afternoon. Delicious with just a splash of milk (and stevia, if you're so inclined) .
Oh wow! Love, love, love this tea. Tastes lightly toasted. Bought it on my way to getting other teas and am very glad I took a detour.
It definitely has a butterscotch flavor to it. I only gave it 3 stars because I thought the flavor was a little bit too strong and I didn't personally care for that, but if you really like butterscotch, this is the tea for you!
When I opened the packet, I could really smell the butterscotch/caramel flavor. I steeped it a little cooler than recommended at 190. I find that this cuts back the bitterness that a black tea can bring. I sweetened it with a little honey. I do wish more of the butterscotch flavor came out after steeping but overall it's a blend that I enjoy.
This was an impulse sampler purchase and I'm so glad we got it. It's smooth, buttery and wonderful to drink!!
A yummy tea. Wonderful flavor for waking up in the morning.
Such a great desert tea or when you're feeling like something a bit sweet.
Truly tastes like the candy it is named for! Love this tea!
Not so great. Smells strongly of butterscotch, but it doesn't taste like butterscotch at all. Even adding a large amount of the rock sugar to it didn't really help improve the flavor. Not planning to buy this one again
Loved this. Smells wonderful. Tastes sweet without being overpowering
I actually really, really like this. It has a strong scent and a moderately strong flavor. A lovely drink for fall.
I love this flavor. And oh what a heavenly aroma!
As the name suggests, butterscotch in black tea. I ve already ordered this twice over, and will do so again.
This tea is sweet and delicious. I like to mix it with the cream flavored tea for a milkshake in a tea form
I really enjoyed the butterscotch undertones of this, as opposed to the more common caramel. This is a great option if you’re in the mood for something a little sweet, without the guilt.
Flavor is great and rather unique in a good way! It's not Butterscotch In Your Face, or cloyingly sweet like a butterscotch candy can be. It's subtle and you can taste the butterscotch on the back end of the tea.
Be forewarned - when they say 'High Caffeine', they're not kidding. This thing is a wonderful pick-me-up when you are sluggish, or first thing in the morning. Learn from my fail - be careful when drinking after 4pm unless you plan on partying all night!! <<laugh>>
Because of the high caffeine, this tea can have a little bit of a bitter edge to it. For those of us watching our calorie intake, I use stevia sweeteners and double it to take that edge off and add a little bit of non-dairy creamer to smooth out the flavor profile. I will be getting this again!
The Butterscotch flavor is a very good tea. It's an enjoyable holiday tea.
Smooth and sweet. Add milk and sugar and it reminds me of my favorite sundae topping. Even my coffee-loving husband loves this tea!
Incredibly comforting, desserty tea. When I'm stressed out about starting the day, this is like a comforting pastry in a mug. I add a splash of creamy oat milk.
Such a rich deep flavor. It reminds of a certain drink associated with a movie with a boy wizard who has a theme park.
It tasted just as I had expected! Butterscotch is one of my favorite candies and now the tea is one of my favorites also!
It s good, but maybe not my favorite? seems to be missing something i can t place.
