Twinings Dark Caramel

I have bought different variations from this listing but as I can only leave one review, I'll add each blend in here. DARK GREY This is seriously different and very interesting. It really bears very loose associations with the traditional Earl Grey tea blend. Yes, there's bergamot but the initial scent of the dry tea bag is deep and smokey Lapsang Souchong and sweet lemon citrus. The bergamot is almost an afterthought at this point. Once brewed the tea is a russet red colour, and it doesn't look overly strong. But it's very powerfully flavoured. The Lapsang again throws the first punch but I think the lemon and bergamot are very well balanced behind the Lapsang smokiness. Deep and dark it absolutely is. This is a tea for anyone who has a passion for different types of tea, it's really a connoisseur blend. It's an occasional tea and not an everyday cuppa, and it very much challenges the drinker to sit up and take notice of it. It's very bold! Personally I love it, but it may be an acquired taste for some. DARK CHAI It's much like many other chai teas. Blends and strengths can alter between brands. After trying the Dark Grey I expected a similar twist or variation in this. There's nothing in this blend that makes it stand out from the rest, nor is it particularly remarkable. It's very heavy on the cinnamon, less so on the cloves, and to me the ginger is a mere whisper. The blend is nice and strong though, with plenty of black tea. I like it, it's good, but it's not unique. DARK CARAMEL There's hints of caramel on the dry tea bag, which smells quite artificial. The scent is a lot stronger when brewed. It tastes and smells like the caramel in a Galaxy Caramel bar and it's quite strong. It tastes less artificial in flavour than it is with the dry tea bag scent. I don't think the tea comes across as strongly here; the tea is much stronger in the Dark Grey and Dark Chai. I like this as a smooth and mellow relaxing cuppa. I don't usually take sugar in any drink but this actually benefits from a little sweetness. I add a tiny amount of golden syrup. This blend would suit anyone with a sweet tooth whether or not they like a sugary cuppa. My personal favourite is the Dark Grey which I think is a really superb twist on the original Earl Grey, but there's something for everyone with these blends.

Tasty, Tasty, Tasty, Tasty,

Tastes amazing Gives you the sweet taste without having any sugar if you craving for something sweet

I was intrigued by this tea. I've had herbal tea, fruit teas, but caramel? I had to try it. From the instant I opened the box, you can smell subtle caramel notes. And when you add the hot water, that scent is just heavenly. The first sip definitely keeps that caramel taste (although my taste, it's more maple syrup than caramel). It is slightly sweet, but not over powering, as like a good caramel, there are bitter undertones. I made the mistake the first time I tried it, of leaving the teabag in the cup as I drank it (like you do a herbal tea), and the tea for stronger and more bitter towards the bottom of the cup. I now pour in the water, give it a good mix, then take the teabag out. Overall, a really pleasant drink, and a nice way to end a meal when I don't want the calories or heaviness of a dessert!

Really like these chai tea bags, perfect balance of spices in my opinion, after spending a small fortune trying to replicate the coffee shop chai lattes I think these are it, other powders and syrups we're just to sweet and sickly. Pop two of these bags into a jug of milk, boil in microwave add a little cinnamon and sugar and u have a great tasting chai, best I've found so far and great value when on offer for £2 a box.

Love love love this tea…… I drink it black. Truly gorgeous

If you’re a chai lover like me, you need to try this! The Twinings Dark Chai is rich, aromatic, and has that perfect blend of spices for a cozy cup. I love it with a splash of milk in the morning—it really wakes me up and feels like a warm hug. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to try a spicier, bolder tea blend!

Couldn’t find in supermarkets reliably, buy them here now. This tea is the only tea bag type tea I currently know of that taste genuinely like there is caramel in it. Lovely tea, nice sweet or without sugar and milk. Worth a try.
