Caramelo

I didn't expect actual caramel pieces to be visible in the loose leaf, but there they are, and they melt into a buttery sweetness once the hot water hits. With a splash of milk it tastes like dessert without being cloying.

The caramel pieces dissolve slowly as you sip, leaving a buttery sweetness that lingers after the black tea. I’ve been adding a splash of whole milk before bed and it’s genuinely become my favorite wind-down drink. Even the second steep keeps a hint of that caramel flavor.

The caramel pieces actually melt into the black tea instead of just flavoring it, and with a splash of milk it turns into something close to a dessert you can sip. I've already finished my second cup this afternoon and the sweetness feels natural, not syrupy.
