Caramel Nougat Black Tea is a robust yet sweet tea that will make an enchanting cup any time of day. Central to its success is the use of Fair Trade Certified organic black tea from India, which is withered, rolled, oxidized and dried to create a penetrating, lasting taste. Additional flavors of natural caramel, hazelnut, marigold and Ghanaian organic orange peel make this a sweet and easy-to-enjoy tea, particularly when enhanced with a splash of milk. The sweet black tea is packaged in a reliable, airtight canister, and since the leaves are loose, you can easily adjust the flavor depending on preference. We recommend steeping the tea at 208 F for 3-5 minutes. If you prefer loose leaf iced tea, considering using 2 teaspoons per 8 ounce glass. This caramel tea is a creation of Tea Forte.
