Sugar Caramel Oolong
Sugar Caramel Oolong is simply oolong tea with sugar-caramel flavor
added.
And, gee, that's what it tastes like, too. I was a little apprehensive when I first saw the sample. I wasn't sure how well sugary flavors would go with the tea. (Maybe that's because I don't sweeten my tea with anything. I started drinking tea to get away from sugared beverages.)
It's a nice complement. The tea has a good amount of flavor, with the sugar-caramel adding just a touch of additional flavor. And it's really adding flavor rather than sweetness. This doesn't taste sweet. Just caramelly. And just a little bit. It's good.
Second steeping tastes much like the first. I was worried that the sugar-caramel flavor would all end up in the first steeping. But it didn't. The second steeping is also still balanced. Nice.
Interestingly, the online description says:
The fanciest silver-tipped leaves provide a remarkable durable blend good for many infusions without a loss of flavor.
And, indeed they do.
