I admit to wondering about flavoring my pu-erh tea, which I’ve loved for many years. I chose samples of various pu-erhs and decided, why not? I’m so glad I did! I really enjoyed how the butterscotch and almonds played with the earthiness of the pu-erh.

I drink this tea every single day, year 'round, so when my local supplier went out of business I began the hunt for a replacement. I could not find exactly the taste I was used to, even with this tea, but this Scottish Caramel Pu-erh was the best contender and it is a very enjoyable cup of tea. Almost all other sellers use dried up bits of almond crunch-looking stuff, instead of simple/real almond slices, but not this tea. I sweeten it with Splenda for a very smooth treat. I really appreciate that The Whistling Kettle ships their orders right away, rather than dawdling around a few days and shipping when they get around to it. And I also like that I can buy their tea in larger quantities; for as much tea as I drink, it seems just stupid and wasteful to buy a zillion little 4 ounce packages, which is the only option provided by so many sellers. I can't be bothered with that. I know what I want; send me 5 pounds so I don't have to monitor my supply every week (they sent me 5 bags of 1 pound each, and that's fine). So the Whistling Kettle wins! I'm a regular customer now.

Someone gave the Pu-er Carmel Toffee as a gift. When the pandemic started, I began making myself a lovely tray of tea n the afternoons as a treat while I worked, served with my best tea service , and delivered, by me, to my tea table next to my desk in my office. I made it with oat milk, so it became a delicious dessert chai. I would sip it all afternoon instead of a big lunch and after a short time I noticed that I was losing lots of weight while totally enjoying the yummiest tea ever. Now, I’m buying it as a gift for all my friends.

I love love this tea. Zero bitterness and it's so full of flavor- I've made all my family members try it. Its also amazing on ice so I generally brew a big pot and chill for the rest of the week. Must try!

Absolute must-have in your collection!
