TTB 2025. I made this and Deb’s Earl Grey Caramel Canelé at the same time to compare them. Unfortunately, thanks to a household miscommunication, we ran out of oat milk without me realizing it! I added honey instead, in an effort to help the flavors pop, but it’s not really the same. So no rating for this one unless/until I can make it as intended. I don’t see a listing for the Earl Grey Caramel Canelé. It’s not on Deb’s site anymore, either. This tasting note will be for both teas.
As expected, they seem to have the same base and bergamot flavor – brisk and citrusy, respectively. I’m not a huge fan of earl greys in general, but this is a tolerable take. The glazed donut is pretty good! I’m getting a bit of almond flavor and specifically the sugary glaze on a donut. I bet this would be great as a latte, unsurprisingly. The caramel canelé flavor doesn’t pop the same way. I’m just getting a bit of sweetness, and it’s hard to tell whether that’s from the flavoring or the honey. I think this one probably needs milk to be judged properly.
The real takeaway here is to always check your add-in supply before making the tea.
