This smelled like fake buttered popcorn upon opening the bag. It was pretty offensive to the nose when trying to drink the cup I brewed at 212 for 5 mins and it was very bitter and chemical-y tasting. Lower time and temp helped but was inconsistent; I just don't think this flavor pairs well with black tea.
Not my favourite butterscotch tea. It lacks butterscotch flavour.
I guess I was looking for way more flavor than this had to offer. There are other blends that are more butterscotch forward that I will go with
I ordered the sample size of this and didn't expect to like it much. When I finally tried it, I couldn't believe how much I liked it. Then I had it again and liked it even more, and here I am ordering it for the 3rd time. This tea has become my morning staple. I add honey and almond creamer and start my day on a happy note!
This really satisfies my sweet tooth in the evenings.
The flavors were a little too muddled for me, I didn't get a clear sense of what the tea was trying to be.
Not sure how they put apple in here and came up with butterscotch flavor, but it works! Delicious with a little sweetener.
Love this tea! I also got caramel mixing spoons and used it with it and it was perfect.
Very good. Great dessert or comfort tea. Will definitely buy again
I absolutely love butterscotch everything. This tea did not disappoint. Sweet, yet still able to taste the depth of the black tea underneath.
This reminds me of the butterscotch candies my grandparents always had in a yellow carnival glass candy dish. Wonderful memories, wonderful tea.
While I like the flavor of this particular blend, I have to confess that I prefer it mixed my Scottish breakfast blend.
Plenty of butterscotch taste and can taste the tea base. Very nice sipper. I am not a black tea person but I would get this again.
My friend who isn't a tea fan swears by this. It's very sweet and seems more like a dessert than a tea, in the best possible way! How refreshing!
A delicious tasting tea that gets more flavor when it cools down. It tastes great on its own either hot or cold.
Absolutely incredible taste! The slight bite of the black tea pairs divinely with the gentle sweetness of the cocoa nibs and butterscotch flavour. I liked the depth that steeping for a little longer added, too.
Nice and sweet. Good with milk/cream. I like to mix this one too.
My big worry with this one was that it would be really fatty and too sweet. It was actually pretty pleasant on that front, not cloying or overpowering. But it's not very noticeable, even on its own--just a sort of generic sweetness that could maybe be caramel but doesn't really assert itself. Not sure whether I'd buy this again.
The smell is very aggressive right out of the bag I found it too overwhelming to really enjoy the tea
I continuously order this as my morning cup of tea. Delicious smell and taste.
Love this ! It has great flavor and aroma, couldn't be happier. I love to ad milk to this! Works great to help warm you up on cold days.
This was just ok. I am a butterscotch fan but this doesn't live up to the name. It wasn't bad, but it was bland, even with beet sugar added. It tasted, funny enough, like a bit of a mild coffee almost. Tea at its blandest I would say. But for a plain tea, it was fine.
My all time absolute favorite tea to have iced. I don't like to share this one.
Absolutely love this tea. Initially enjoyed it hot but then cold brewed it the next time and the butterscotch flavor was even more incredible. Smooth and flavorful but not sweet tasting. Ordered a big bag for summer cold brewing!
This tea is absolutely yummy. A little cream and it is perfect.
Pretty tasty. The flavor is subtle, I think I’m just not a black tea person.
I enjoyed the Butterscotch black tea. Great dessert taste.
I enjoyed this flavored tea with nice hints of butterscotch and a nice, hearty black tea base. Sweetener helps bring out the butterscotch flavor and I add creamer to make it more indulgent. The flavor is realistic and not overpowering. I enjoy using this in blends as well. I prefer it hot and to drink it in the cooler seasons. I detect no astringency or bitterness and the tea holds up well to added creamer.
A bit overpowering -- the butterscotch flavor was pleasant, but just too strong, in my opinion. As it is, this seems well-suited for adding to blends.
OMG does this taste nearly like candy! Wonderful!!
Personally, this tea was a little too sweet for me. Which is not surprising since that is sometimes how I feel about actual butterscotch. It s not a bad tea, but just not my cuppa. @adagioteas
Loved the butterscotch taste. It was a bit sweet to me though
A nice tea for dessert that I'm curious about mixing with some other teas in the future to see the results. I add sugar and cream.
I enjoyed this black tea this morning . Nice flavors perfect for a cold morning. I would purchase again.
Updated:Honestly I wish it were a bit stronger. Turns bitter after brewing extra time. I don’t think I will purchase in the future.
One of my favorite teas!! Love pairing it with Maple oolong! Just the right amount of sweet.
Very sweet. Pleasant flavor that makes me think of if butterbeer was a tea.
Buttery and smooth with a hint of cocoa- this blend is perfect with some sweetener or alone. The bold black base doesn't overpower the butterscotch flavor and the marigolds add a perfect hint of floral.
I think this makes a great desert tea. I like adding the chocolate honey to it for an extra bit of chocolate. This is one of my favorites.
Great flavor if you're a fan of butterscotch! Add a couple drops of stevia to it and it is such a sweet afternoon treat.
This is fantastic - rich, creamy, sweet. Everything I want in a dessert tea without any fake-tasting flavors. Great with cream & sweetener. @adagioteas
An interesting tea - good if you're looking for a cup of something dark in the morning, and with an aftertaste that's almost sweet.
Another tea that I love. Tastes like butterscotch candy.
This one has a decent butterscotch taste, although steeping too long renders the flavour a little too much. Therefore, right at 2 to 3 minutes is correct for this tea.
Would be a good dessert tea, however this one is not my favourite.
Delicate flavor of cacao and butterscotch. Perfect afternoon tea.
It's not for me. The added flavor is too strong.
Very clear sweet flavor and smell. Really delicious with some creamer!
Good, light flavor of butterscotch. It probably would be better with sweetener but I don’t like to sweeten my teas.
I bought a sample size of this tea out of curiosity and LOVED it! I have this most mornings on my way out the door to work.
Sweet treat. Great cup of black tea, but be very mindful not to over steep or it gets a little bitterness
Slightly raisiny but other than that a relatively sweet and simple brew
