Gently smoky gunpowder combined with bright tangy apples and rose hips, bring to mind a misty morning stroll. Hints of cinnamon and creme brulee flavor warm and comfort you like a favorite sweater. Steep at 180°F for 3 minutes

      This is a wonderful blend! The creme brulee flavor mixes well with the smokiness of gunpowder tea, and it adds a bit of sweetness.

      This tea surprised me with the strong caramel in its aroma and flavor. I'm not sure that communicates autumn to me, but it's a pleasant tea for any season. The green tea taste is masked by the sweetness, so this could be worth a try for those who don't normally like to drink greens.

      I could smell this tea packet all day. Delicious aroma of caramelized sugar goodness. I didn't see many rose petals, so I left them in. The sweet smell faded after brewing. I only tasted a smooth green tea, no sweetness or floral. I even resteeped for a second cup.

      So this tea does not taste at all like what you expect it to based on the name. I expected a grassy floral tea with some apple flavor, and it is none of those things. It's practically a dessert tea with a creamy creme brulee flavor and the smallest floral notes. Not what you expect, but a fantastic vanilla tea. Would probably buy it.

      It smells wonderful, isn't overly sweet or overpowered by the gunpowder. Very smooth and comforting tea.

      I tried this tea hot at Tilted Teacup when i visited with my daughter. It was awesome so i ordered some to use as iced tea. Definitely NOT a fan of it iced. Strange aftertaste. Great hot though!

      Warm and comfortable. The perfect balance of spice with sweet tones. A smooth finish and no bitter aftertaste.

      The earthy smokiness of gunpowder blends so nicely with the spice and sweetness of this tea! Caramel, creme, cinnamon -- so good!! Lovely aroma and wonderful taste. So nice on a cool, rainy fall day! Or anytime!

      It was nice enough. In the packaging, it smells quite strong, but once brewed, the main note that comes through is a mild, sweet caramel, with a hint of apple. (I would have liked to be able to taste the cinnamon at least, personally.) A decent dessert green. I had mine with 1/4 teaspoon sugar; I do recommend slightly sweetening to bring out the flavor.

    • 

      I really love this one. It makes for a nice, sweet, rich tea with all the comforts of being warm inside on a brisk autumn day. The smell is strong but the taste is too.

      Not a fan of this one, was too sweet for my liking.

    • 

      This is a tasty dessert tea with an interesting blend of gunpowder green tea and crème brûlée flavors. There are apple pieces and rose petals as well and they all come together to make a lovely, though not outstanding tea. I brewed at 175 degrees for 2-1/2 minutes and added a little sugar. I am also interested in trying this as a cold brew.

    • 

      A nice smoky green tea with accents. It smells sweet but there is no sweetness when brewed, which was a bit disappointing.

    • 

      I got this tea for hubby since he loves green teas more then me. He said he enjoyed all the flavors. The aroma was pleasant. It was delicious to drink. Wish he could get it all year.

    • 

      This is my favorite tea!!!! I actually but enough to last me through the entire year, since it’s seasonal. ❤️

    • 

      Autumn Mist Green combines the slightly smokey Gunpowder green tea with inclusions of apple, rose petals and flavored with cinnamon and creme brulee flavor. The result is a slightly floral, fruity green tea for those times when you want something a bit different. Really quite tasty.

    • 

      The aroma and flavor of creme brûlée was way to strong and cloyingly sweet for my tastes. I steeped at 175°F x 3 minutes, and sweetened slightly. The green tea was totally lost under the creme brûlée flavoring. I didn't notice any apple, cinnamon, or rose flavor, either. I liked the second steep better, and the third even more, as the flavor weakened.

    • 

      Guess I'm in the minority, as this one is very popular--but I just couldn't get around the weird mix of flavors. I do love green tea, but all I could taste was a nasty medicinal flavor with spices and I guess what is the creme brulee (the overwhelming maple syrupy taste). I love most of Adagio's offerings, and love trying new teas! But this one just didn't do it for me.

      

      This is possibly my favourite tea ever... a mix of sweetness and gunpowder, it tastes like a decadent blended drink from a coffee place or something, turned into a tea that isn't too overpowering. Though I do wish you could buy it all year round, despite the name.

      

      Maybe my palate isn't as finely tuned today as it usually is but I'm really not getting much more than creme brulee. It's almost like drinking a cup of maple syrup, minus the tooth and stomachache.

    • 

      What a fantastic treat! Crème brûlée flavors with a delicious green gunpowder base. This is a luscious sweet treat for those cold grey fall days.

    • 

      What a great combo of flavors! The creme brulee is strong - creamy, caramely goodness - a plus in my book. The gunpowder does provide its earthy, smokiness. It doesn't overpower the creme brulee, but gives depth to the tea. The other flavors - cinnamon, rose - aren't really as discernible. .. 3min 180F

    • 

      This is a fantastic spiced autumn tea if you’re looking for something tasty with a little less caffeine than the traditional chais and pumpkin spice blends. The “creme brûlée” flavor is intense and caramel-y, but it adds a nice sweetness so I didn’t feel the need to add anything else. Definitely adding this to my list of fall favorites.

      Reminds me so much of creme brulee! I can't wait for them to restock this. I will be buying a large bag of this whenever it comes back.

    • 

      This tea smells wonderful. Both taste and scent is like that of creme brulee. It's quite delicious and goes down smooth.

      Brewed 175F for 3 minutes

      Very different from other teas I;ve had. The smell is amazing and it tastes pretty good, just slightly underwhelming

      Delicious delicious delicious!! Love this Creme brûlée-dominated green tea - the perfect amount of sweetness with a hit of caffeine. Yum!

      This is a really different take on traditional green tea. It has a wonderful creme brûlée fragrance and flavoring, but the green tea still shines through.

      This tea is my favorite. I love the gunpowder green with all of the other flavors mixed together.

      This tea smells AMAZING, but flavors don't come through quite as well as I was hoping.

      Sweet and delicious! I was slightly disappointed that most of the flavors were overpowered by the creme brulee, but you can't be too disappointed when the final product is so delightful.

    • 

      Tastes like creme brulee syrup! The sugar flavor is almost overwhelming, and the other flavors aren't noticeable because of it, but if you like sugar flavors, this will be a hit!

      New fave for this fall. I add raw honey and drink warm.

      Awesome, comforting fall flavors. Love the smoky creme brule taste.

      Loved this tea! The smokiness and the apples bring to mind sitting by a bonfire, sipping cider.

      Lovely tea to half on brisk fall mornings, a hint of smokiness that blends into the taste and aroma of creme brûlée and apples.

      A delightful, warm, cozy tea. I love the evenness of flavours between the creme brulle and the cinnamon - like a unique apple cider. Perfect with a bit of sugar.

    • 

      The aroma and flavor of this tea almost call to mind the idea of caramel, with pleasant apple tones throughout.

      This is a lovely, unique tea. The flavor combination doesn't sound like it would necessarily work, but they harmonize very nicely together.

    • 

      Words escape me as I try to put this flavor into words. It's an entirely new taste I've never experienced in a tea before. The creme brulee flavor definitely carries to the forefront, but the diversity of gunpower, rose, apple, and cinnamon blend together so seamlessly that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, creating something entirely novel. I also noticed that even though I (accidentally) steeped my first serving at 212 degrees, the tea didn't 'burn,' though I imagine steeping at 108 degrees would coax more flavor out of it. Very much worth buying a sample, just to experience its uniqueness. The flavor isn't smokey or bitter in the slightest, but brings to mind the crisp scent of a stale autumn morning.

      I am not a green tea fan, but this was actually a pretty good tea! Not my favorite, but still nice. The flavor is very weak, which I am not a huge fan of.
