      Lovely butterscotch aroma. A little sweetener brings the butterscotch flavor out more. Great for blending with other dessert type teas.

    • 

      Taste like candy but in a flavored black tea and great with honey, chocolate syrup and whip cream. Such a delicious dessert tea that just makes me smile and giggle like a kid.

      The butterscotch smell with this one is so yummy! This is one that calls for a sugar cube or two. Dessert tea for the win!

      Wow the butterscotch aroma is strong from the packet. 90 sec @ 165 The butterscotch comes through much lighter in flavor with a little sweetness. I'm glad I got to try this in the CommuniTEA. No additions.

      i was really looking forward to enjoying this tea. Came off a bit disappointing. Butterscotch just wasn't there.

      This tea has good butterscotch flavor, but something was off for me. I added oat milk to see if it improved and it just didn't for me.

      Delicious, smooth and creamy blend. Very aromatic also. A great dessert tea or one to use in recipes.

      I like it a lot, but it's too sweet for me to incorporate into my everyday tea drinking rotation. Granted, I'm much more likely to drink an unflavored oolong or green on any given day so take that with a grain of salt. It's one of my favorite flavored teas that Adagio has to offer.

    • 

      It's good on its own, but it's also really good at adding a sweet, buttery flavor to dessert blends.

      One of my favorite Adagio teas. Sweet nuances blend well with the crisp black tea notes. Very relaxing. Great after dinner tea!

    • 

      I love butterscotch, so I had to try this! It is good, but the butterscotch flavor is a little slight, leaving me searching for it, catching it intermittently. It did succeed in making me crave some real butterscotch candy, which could be both a success story and a bad thing.

    • 

      Buttery and smooth with a hint of cocoa- this blend is perfect with some sweetener or alone. The bold black base doesn't overpower the butterscotch flavor and the marigolds add a perfect hint of floral.

      This is good on its own, but amazing in blends. It's actually better at adding a buttery caramel flavor to teas than the caramel is.

      Wonderful vanilla, butterscotch scent and full bodied flavor.

      A delicious butterscotch flavoured tea that is a good level of sweet. The only thing I'm sad about is that UK Adagio only sells this in the spring so I can only buy it then!

      This was a pretty good tea. I didn't taste too much butterscotch but over all yummy tea.

    • 

      A rich, comforting tea with a sweet butterscotch flavor. I found it didn't hold up for a second steep though, which isn't really the teas fault, but just something to note.

    • 

      The aroma of the dry leaves is of sweet butterscotch. But the black tea overpowers the flavor. The butterscotch becomes more pronounced as the tea cools, however.

      this one is pretty addicting i wont lie, i have got it a couple times now

      I tried this last year, I bought a sample. And recently i had a CommuniTEA packet of it. Both times, this smells and tastes more like chocolate than butterscotch. butterscotch is there, but I wish it was more prominent than the chocolate. once it cools, the chocolate comes out even more. i was little disappointed in this blend. It's still delicious, but not true butterscotch.

    • 

      This is good! Strong butterscotch flavor. I didn't get the chocolate from the cocoa nibs, though. It was a bit bitter @ 212/3 min., had to put honey in it. Next time will brew at a lower temp.

    • 

      the flavor is 'interesting' but am not yet certain - think i'll try again. new idea is 'dessert tea' stops one from eating ... ?

      Love this tea! It smells amazing when you open the bag. Taste is on point too with butterscotch hard candies. I honestly might prefer this over the caramel one since the flavour is more prominent.

    • 

      This blend is spot on! It's a lovely warm butterscotch with a touch of sweetness. Not so sweet that it's cloying, but just enough to remind you of the candy.

      Steeped at 212F for 3min

    • 

      wow! add a little milk and sugar and it tastes just like one of those old school butterscotch candies. This tea is so good.

      This is one of the very best single-flavor teas I have had from Adagio -- in fact, from any company! It's wonderful on its own. It has a great caramelly flavor that is way more robust than the caramel-flavored tea. I am sure it will be excellent in blends as well. Great hot or cold!

    • 

      This is a sweet and buttery tea, even without sugar! I frequently get asked, "What IS that? It smells incredible!" They are surprised when I tell them it's a black tea. It's a great way to wake up and get caffeinated.

    • 

      Even my non-tea-loving husband and daughter really enjoyed this. It tastes like warm butterscotch pudding with a touch of sugar added.

      This is an amazing sweet flavored tea without being too sweet. It has a rich deep flavor with hints of brown sugar.

    • 

      Definitely smells like butterscotch, but doesn't quite taste like it. Maybe I'm not using the right sweeteners to bring out the flavor. Still good, but not as good as I wanted it to be.

    • 

      I really liked this! It's sugary sweet and is especially good with cream and sugar.

      Initial scent is a wave of butterscotch. I was afraid it would be overwhelming. Thankfully it mellowed out in brewing, making a lovely, mild cuppa. Would make a fantastic latte.

      This is one of the best smelling flavored teas ever. If only the flavor matched the scent, but they never do. Still one of my favorites though.

      I loved the smell--it's exactly like the pastry!--but I didn't actually much enjoy drinking this tea. It was very sweet smelling, but I didn't find it tasted much like the cookie.

    • 

      I'm sorry to say I didn't enjoy this one. I added some sweetener and almond milk thinking it would perk it up but it didn't happen. I was disappointed with this one. :(

    • 

      Has a very sweet aroma. Flavor wise it’s very sweet and good with some creamer. Almost too sweet for me though.

    • 

      This tea smells and tastes very strongly of butterscotch. I add just a bit of sugar. I drank it without milk, but I think it would probably taste good with milk or cream added.

    • 

      Good tea. Strong flavor. At first it seemed to have a hint of scotch but then I realized that it's all herbal. Interesting tea

    • 

      So good! I love the sweet, almost candy like flavor of this. It's a perfect dessert tea.

      Such a great dessert tea! Very sweet, goes well with almost anything. I highly recommend this

    • 

      It smells like butterscotch but smell and taste dissipates as soon as the water hits the tea

    • 

      This tea is not for me. I can imagine people who like black tea with milk and sugar enjoying it or as a dessert, but its just a bit too intense for my taste

    • 

      One of my absolute favorites. I love it. I mix in some Tiger Eye every now and then or some cream tea. Very good.

    • 

      The dry leaves smell like candy, but the brewed tea is really astringent. It's fine with sugar or milk added, but it's hard to drink on its own

    • 

      I think this has a really nice flavor. Not my absolute favorite - I think the Chestnut still beats this, in my opinion. But still a nice tea.

    • 

      Very good and natural butterscotch flavor with a light natural sweetness that satisfies my creamy butterscotch candy cravings!

      This is delicious tea. It tastes just like butterscotch and I am thrilled that I no longer have to spend a lot of money at a local tea shop. I can make it right at home!!!

    • 

      The aroma is amazing. The flavor is very nice. I like this as a desert tea.

    • 

      A toasted, dark but mellow, sweet drink somewhere between toffee and caramel. The flavor is straightforward and nostalgic, leading to a satisfying and comfortable sip. Perfect for perking up in the morning with a caffeinated and carbs-free way to satisfy your sugar cravings. I find this tea especially enjoyable during the autumn season, ideal for bringing to mind trick-or-treating, firesides, brisk mornings, and cozy evenings.
