Pairing Pear and Caramel
Mighty Leaf offers a delicious pear and caramel flavored black tea. This is a flavor pairing that I wasn’t quite certain about when I placed my order. However, after trying several cups, this is definitely one I recommend to black tea drinkers. Obviously, you need to like the flavor of a pear and caramel to enjoy this tea.
The black tea came in a sealed 4-ounce pouch. When I opened the pouch for the first time, I wasn’t overly impressed by the scent of the tea. Once the tea has steeped, the scent mellows to produce a dessert like aroma. I don’t want to get caught up on the scent, but I’m just letting you know not all teas can be judged by scent alone. Just a few minutes in 200 degree water, and you’ll have a delicious cup of tea. This is a great morning and afternoon tea.
Mighty Leaf describes the tea as: Pear Caramel is made with Washington state pears blended with Ceylon and China black tea and sweet bits of caramel.
In the end, the caramel is the dominant flavor. It’s much better than other caramel flavored teas I’ve tried.
