This is now my favorite flavored black tea. I add a bit of cream to it for a smooth cup. This has all the best parts of a crème brulee but without being overly sweet.
Caramel Crème Brulee is a luxurious blend with the velvety richness of custard and the sweet notes of caramelized sugar, all perfectly balanced in a smooth, full-bodied black tea.

This was ok, but the flavor was lacking. Really hard to find the caramel notes anywhere. If you'd told me I was drinking straight black tea I would believe you. Aroma was light and hinted at flavor but that was about it for me. I tried more tea and a few different temperatures/times because I really wanted to like this, but it was not to be.
This was my first time to try caramel crème brûlée. It was a delightful surprise. I love the sweetness, just like the dessert.
The flavor is spot on of Creme Brulee. If that is your preference you will thoroughly enjoy this tea. I was hoping for more caramel flavor. Adding Adagio's vanilla flavored honey helped a bit. Adding cream also helped. This is one that may be more finicky with time and temp. Next cuppa I will pull sooner.
Yum in a cup!! This one has actually rescued me from a significant chocolate- caramel craving. I could literally drink this one everyday. I did add about half packet of Splenda natural and have taken both with and without a spot of milk. I’d happily have it before bed but for the high caffeine.
Definitely worth a try if you are a gourmet sweet flavor fan.
The loose tea smells of creme brulee the most. Tasting the steeped tea, I got black tea first, then caramel and then creme brulee. It’s delicious!
This tea is one of my favorites! I love making a latte with this tea in the morning! So dang good!
Very smooth and creamy flavor. It’s especially cozy
Really good flavor. Really enjoyed this blend! Wasn't bland. Tons of flavor. Didnt need any sugar...!.!.!
I was disappointed when I first tried this one but it has grown on me. I'm not a big fan of Ceylon tea so when I try a flavored tea from Adagio I hope the added flavors overwhelm the tea flavor (like with the delicious Chocolate Truffle tea). The tea flavor is pretty noticeable with Caramel Creme Brulee, which some may prefer, but I would like a stronger creme brulee taste. At first I was unimpressed with the flavor and was hoping for more of a burnt sugar note, but it has grown on me, especially when using milk and sugar. Ceylon tea is astringent so I lower the temp when making this one. I'm experimenting with ways to to get the creme brulee notes to shine more and will be trying even lower temps next.
I was expecting this tea to jump to the top of my favorites list based on the reviews... while I found it enjoyable, it wasn't as complex and invigorating as I was expecting. It black tea with flavoring - nice and simple.
Very rich in flavor, but do not over steep. I add cinnamon, natural vanilla and heavy cream...
I don’t know all the tea vocabulary, but I would say this has a lot of flavor but there’s a taste towards the end of the sip that isn’t my favorite.
Ohhhh boy this tea is wonderful!! The cream smell and flavor add such a richness to the tea. My daughter has taken the rest of my bag and I had to order more.
Lovely. I love the smell of this one, it's very cozy. My 11 year old likes it too! We make it as is, no sugar needed
I absolutely love this tea. The caramel notes come through without overpowering the whole tea and it is indeed a little creamy.
Good tea, but not a strong enough crème flavor for me.
This caramel creme brûlée is so good. The caramel flavor really comes out without over powering the creme brûlée flavor.
At first, I didn't care for this one...but my advice is to give it a chance. After my third cup I became a fan. It's not my black-tea go-to - I select it for my change of pace morning cup.
This tea is smooth with a slight caramel flavor. I had gotten a sample and knew that I needed to add it to 'my favorites' rotation.
The perfect desert tea! It has a strong caramel aroma and it is a nice blend of malty black tea and sweet caramel
This is a tea worth sipping. I am planning on reordering it soon. I would put it on my favorite list. It is a great dessert tea!
This yes is so good with or without milk. It’s sweet and smooth and perfect for fall. Be careful not to oversteep
This one is good but the flavor is just brown sugar for me.
Yummy! I enjoy this on my drive to work most mornings. I have a sweet tooth and this satisfys it.
This is great! Caramel-y, sweet, and surprisingly deep because of the black tea base.
So delicious and perfect for fall! No sugar needed, just some organic whipping cream for a wonderful Fall morning treat.
Excellent flavored tea! Truly tastes like creme brulee, especially with a bit of cream or milk added. I loved mixing it with other Adagio teas too - some inventive and tasty blends! Will purchase again for sure - would make a great gift tea as well!
Very sweet and herbal tasting to me, which I really enjoyed. Felt very much like a special treat rather than just plain tea.
i had gotten a sample of this a few orders ago, and loved it so much i bought a pound, it's rich and full, like a dessert. it's perfect for cold weather
I really enjoyed this tea and would order it again. I liked the subtle creme brulee flavor, since it wasn't overwhelming.
Delicious! Sweet, but not too sweet- justtttt right!
Really nice, but strong. I think next time I buy, I’ll use less leaves in the batches. But so delicious and such rich, deep flavor.
This tea tastes exactly liked I hoped it would! It’s a delicious dessert tea, definitely a favorite!
Delicious! Like a dessert in a cup with no sweetener needed. I loved this tea and can’t wait to order more. A new favorite.
The frangrance is too strong on its own. I have been combining 4
Black Dragon Pearls and 1/4 tsp of Caramel Creme Burlee in a 10 oz cup . Drink this every morning with a bar of Kind Breakfast Protein called Dark Chocolate Cocoa. Umm, yummy!
Not caramel-y enough! Still an okay tea but nothing to write home about, unfortunately! Maybe it would be better if mixed with another vanilla or caramel flavoured tea?
Was a bit strong. Was not for my taste buds. Mine came out super bitter and i have no idea why. Tried to brew it many ways and all was just a no for me
This tea was too sweet for me. It's very strong, flavor-wise, and just too overpowering, in my opinion.
They nailed it with this one. Together with cream this is a delicious tea that tastes like the real dessert.
Really enjoy the smooth flavor. The caramel comes through but not too strong. Enjoy it just steeped or with a little honey. Afternoon or evening before bed.
This is my dessert tea. It is great by itself, but I often add a splash of cream and a little honey if I want a real treat.
This is such a wonderful smooth tea especially first thing in the morning. I can't wait for it to be back in stock so I can stock up.
This is nice and light and not overwhelmingly sweet. It's smooth with notes of caramel. It's more vanilla forward.
This is a favorite at our house - my teenage girls love this one! We first tried this one at a local tea room and keep re ordering it.
This is rich and dark and creamy and tastes of caramel and vanilla a hint of smoke and chocolate. With sugar, this is better than many caramel creme brulees. I am very disappointed that it will not be in stock until July for me to buy a 3 oz pouch.
Fantastic dessert tea! I really hope they make a decaf version of this one so I can enjoy it anytime.
Very smooth and rich, a perfect desert in a tea! Definitely a favorite from now on!
This had a strong caramel and creme flavors. Almost like that of a flavored coffee but better and I didnt get the coffee shakes! Highly reminiscent of a drive through latte but conveniently made at home hot or iced in a latte.
I used points to get a sample to try. I really hoped but was dubious I'd like this tea. I find the creme brulee flavoring in Autumn Mist Green too intense and somewhat 'off'. Also, I think Caramel black tea is rather bitter on its own which doesn't fit the sweetness of actual caramel. Sadly, both objections were the case for me with this tea as well. I am hoping I can 'dilute' it with other teas but haven't concentrated on developing such a home blend yet. Many people enjoy milk, cream, and/or sweetener in their tea but that's out for me-- I can't abide such additions. My favorite drink other than tea is chilled bottled spring water.
