Scotland meets China in this decadent blend! This shou Pu-erh begins with the familiar earthy, musty character – but combined with the sweetness of caramel and toffee, it delivers a sweet, burnt, sugary flavor that’s a perfect treat. This tea is like dessert in a cup – and delivers a sweet, decadent finish. A great introduction to pu-erh tea!
Ingredients: Pu-erh tea, butterscotch pieces, almond pieces, and natural flavors.

A sample from whatshesaid and inspiration from Cameron B for a sipdown!
This one has far more scent than actual flavour, but the scent is really nice. It has that earthy (fishy-ish) scent, but very light, then a layer of a delicious baked butter scent over top.
The taste is a smooth black base that isn’t too thick with the subtlest hint of caramel, maybe toffee in the background. The caramel/toffee taste comes out more as it cools.
The world of pu’erhs is overwhelming to me, so I’m happy I had the opportunity to try this one!
Also, I’m excited to have crossed two things off my list today! A patient success story for my volunteer role and part A of an ecology assignment. Yay! Next up, another ecology assignment, a paper for peatlands, and a volunteer blog post. :)
Too funny!
I was just talking about (in my Chocolate Orange review) how I wanted to try the Scottish Caramel Pu-erh that seems to exist all over Steepster in many incarnations.
Not sure now similar this one is to others but I didn’t even know I owned it!
My husband had signed me up for a TOTM club for my birthday in 2013, unfortunately most of the teas came when I was pregnant and totally opposed to the idea of drinking it (not morally, it just turned my stomach)…. So they all remained sealed in my kitchen cupboard because I was hoping to preserve their freshness and recently decided I wanted to drink some others down before opening new ones.
I was doing a little tea inventory earlier and found this, awesome surprise!
I really enjoyed it. It was more of the deep, “burnt caramel” toffee taste vs the creamy buttery type, but it worked well with the pu’erh. I loved how rich it brewed up!
I was able to add so much milk and it stayed thick and hearty and delicious!
I’m looking forward to trying some straight pu-erh and might do a pricy Lupicia order one day to try their offerings.
I guess the other one I will have to try someday is that Cinnamon Swirl Bread by Steap Shoppe that I’ve seen people raving about!
Your school notes bring a smile. I studied conservation and wetland ecology.
I love that! I so rarely meet people who haven’t studied the same/something similar. Can I ask, do you work in a conservation or ecology field? :)
