If you have a sweet tooth, then have we got the tea for you. The moment you open the pouch of our Butterscotch tea, you are enveloped in the aromas of a confectionery shop. Sweet, buttery and whimsical flavors are infused into this desert tea and rounded off with hints of apple, cocoa nibs and marigold. A delightful way to satisfy those sweet cravings.

      the flavor is 'interesting' but am not yet certain - think i'll try again. new idea is 'dessert tea' stops one from eating ... ?

      Love this tea! It smells amazing when you open the bag. Taste is on point too with butterscotch hard candies. I honestly might prefer this over the caramel one since the flavour is more prominent.

    • 

      This blend is spot on! It's a lovely warm butterscotch with a touch of sweetness. Not so sweet that it's cloying, but just enough to remind you of the candy.

      wow! add a little milk and sugar and it tastes just like one of those old school butterscotch candies. This tea is so good.

    • 

      This is way better than the caramel tea, which is honestly kind of overly-bitter and gross. Even my Mom, who doesn't like tea, comments on how good this smells when I make it.

      This is one of the very best single-flavor teas I have had from Adagio -- in fact, from any company! It's wonderful on its own. It has a great caramelly flavor that is way more robust than the caramel-flavored tea. I am sure it will be excellent in blends as well. Great hot or cold!

      This is a sweet and buttery tea, even without sugar! I frequently get asked, "What IS that? It smells incredible!" They are surprised when I tell them it's a black tea. It's a great way to wake up and get caffeinated.

      Even my non-tea-loving husband and daughter really enjoyed this. It tastes like warm butterscotch pudding with a touch of sugar added.

      This is an amazing sweet flavored tea without being too sweet. It has a rich deep flavor with hints of brown sugar.

    • 

      Definitely smells like butterscotch, but doesn't quite taste like it. Maybe I'm not using the right sweeteners to bring out the flavor. Still good, but not as good as I wanted it to be.

    • 

      I really liked this! It's sugary sweet and is especially good with cream and sugar.

      Initial scent is a wave of butterscotch. I was afraid it would be overwhelming. Thankfully it mellowed out in brewing, making a lovely, mild cuppa. Would make a fantastic latte.

      This is one of the best smelling flavored teas ever. If only the flavor matched the scent, but they never do. Still one of my favorites though.

      I loved the smell--it's exactly like the pastry!--but I didn't actually much enjoy drinking this tea. It was very sweet smelling, but I didn't find it tasted much like the cookie.

    • 

      I'm sorry to say I didn't enjoy this one. I added some sweetener and almond milk thinking it would perk it up but it didn't happen. I was disappointed with this one. :(

    • 

      Has a very sweet aroma. Flavor wise it’s very sweet and good with some creamer. Almost too sweet for me though.

    • 

      This tea smells and tastes very strongly of butterscotch. I add just a bit of sugar. I drank it without milk, but I think it would probably taste good with milk or cream added.

      Good tea. Strong flavor. At first it seemed to have a hint of scotch but then I realized that it's all herbal. Interesting tea

    • 

      So good! I love the sweet, almost candy like flavor of this. It's a perfect dessert tea.

      This tea is very smooth with milk and sugar. It has such a lovely fall flavor.

      Such a great dessert tea! Very sweet, goes well with almost anything. I highly recommend this

    • 

      It smells like butterscotch but smell and taste dissipates as soon as the water hits the tea

    • 

      This tea is not for me. I can imagine people who like black tea with milk and sugar enjoying it or as a dessert, but its just a bit too intense for my taste

    • 

      One of my absolute favorites. I love it. I mix in some Tiger Eye every now and then or some cream tea. Very good.

    • 

      The dry leaves smell like candy, but the brewed tea is really astringent. It's fine with sugar or milk added, but it's hard to drink on its own

    • 

      I think this has a really nice flavor. Not my absolute favorite - I think the Chestnut still beats this, in my opinion. But still a nice tea.

    • 

      Very good and natural butterscotch flavor with a light natural sweetness that satisfies my creamy butterscotch candy cravings!

      This is delicious tea. It tastes just like butterscotch and I am thrilled that I no longer have to spend a lot of money at a local tea shop. I can make it right at home!!!

      The aroma is amazing. The flavor is very nice. I like this as a desert tea.

    • 

      A toasted, dark but mellow, sweet drink somewhere between toffee and caramel. The flavor is straightforward and nostalgic, leading to a satisfying and comfortable sip. Perfect for perking up in the morning with a caffeinated and carbs-free way to satisfy your sugar cravings. I find this tea especially enjoyable during the autumn season, ideal for bringing to mind trick-or-treating, firesides, brisk mornings, and cozy evenings.
