Glad the Relatives liked It |

| My relatives really enjoyed this tea a lot. I did not. My taste buds love the dessert creme brulee, but not this tea. The visitors were happy to take it off my hands. |

Decently flavored, but not my favorite |
10/29/2019 |
| I originally bought this tea for my husband. He LOVES creme brûlée as a dessert; I do not. I have a huge sweet tooth, though, so I gave it a try as well. We both agree that the flavors are not terribly bold, and that it is better with a little sugar/honey and cream to truly dress it up to the expectation of it being creme brûlée. With the add ins, it’s a great cup of tea, but I personally prefer a tea that I don’t need to add anything in to achieve the kind of flavor I’m looking for. |

A taste of the French Quarter! |

| I was intrigued by the name of this tea, and was not disappointed when I ordered it. It's a very rich tea, full of robust flavor. Velvety smooth, but with a nice kick. |

Crime brûlée |
7/10/2018 |
| I’ve only had crepe brûlée a few times so I can’t say that it tastes just like that dessert but this tea is sure yummy. Black I don’t feel as though the flavor was very strong. I got a slight sweetness with mostly a black tea taste. A tiny bit of sugar and almond milk and wow what a difference. It’s sweet and caramely. A great alternative to coffee in the am. |

| I ordered a sample bag of this tea, with no expectations, It was so good! It really has that nice creme brulee flavor. I really love it. |

A tea that could make Imperialist tongues liberally jealous |
9/21/2017 |
| I purchased this tea with Crème Brulee dessert loving epicurean baggage. Could not be more elegantly impressed. The quality of finish (brewed to the specifications on Simpson and Vail, Inc. website) being sweet, smooth and creamy is first-class. I personally prepare the Crème Brulee Dessert Tea with milk (semi-skimmed, low fat or fully pasteurized is taste specific) and tea sugar (prefer Tate + Lyle cane sugar Demerara cubes, available from SVTEA). The result makes an exquisite styled 'cuppa' of English Tea for best enjoyment. With this number for Afternoon Tea, I find that poet Shelley right about 'small talk dies in agonies'. |

Gift to my mom she loved this smooth rich dessert tea |
6/20/2017 |
| I bought this as a gift for my mom.
She loved this smooth creamy dessert tea and enjoys it hot at Breakfast time.
One of her favorite desserts is CremeBrulee so she really enjoyed this tea.
When you open the package you smell caramelized sugar and cream. |

Wonderful creme brûlée taste |

| This tea has the rich, buttery caramel flavor of creme brûlée. The aroma is just as wonderful. |

So delicious! |
3/10/2017 |
| This tea is indescribably delicious! It needs no sweetner, no cream,- oh, but it would only be MORE sweet and delightful when you really need a toe-curling, moan-eliciting delight if you add some. OK, ...trying to describe: think tiny touch of rum, think almost-hint of chocolate, think near-hollow memory of strawberry in there somewhere, thinnk delicate cream... think, if you had no lips and only could smell the tea, it is still Delicious Heavenly good! |

Austen Brulee |

| I love this tea. The smell on its own is heaven, though when drinking, I prefer to combine it with the Jane Austen tea and add a little yellow star thistle honey. Its my preferred winter weekend tea. |

Very Tasty |

| Although this tea may not taste quite as delicious as the calorie-laden dessert, it is a tea with sweetness and dessert-like flavor. And with 0 calories, I can indulge whenever Id like -- YUM! |

Sensationally Sweet |
10/25/2016 |
| Was delighted to find a delicious black tea that would have been diminished by any added sweeteners. The tea has a pleasant, Id even say exciting aroma, that reminds me of the feeling I have when ordering creme brulee at a restaraunt and taking my first sweet spoonful. |

Accurate and delicious creme brulee flavor! |
9/22/2016 |
| I had my doubts about this one actually tasting like creme brulee but when does S&V NOT deliver on their flavors?!? I would say S&V has some of the most consistently accurate tea flavors. I must have steeped this one perfectly on the first steep because this one tasted so much like creme brulee! The second steep was too hot and steeped too long, therefore ruining the flavor. But the first steep was marvelous! It mostly has that flavor of slightly torched caramel with hints of custard. I think it should have more of a custard flavor but I certainly didnt expect a sweet burnt sugar/caramel flavor. The black tea base is perfect at a teaspoon and a half. Not too weak of a brew and not astringent. Its also a solid black tea for showcasing so many of S&Vs great flavors. I will definitely try to steep the remainder of my sample like the first steep.
Steep #1 // 1 1/2 teaspoons for a full mug// 10 minutes after boiling // 2 1/2 minute steep
Steep #2 // few minutes after boiling // 4 minute steep |

Really good! |
9/11/2016 |
| I dont usually like caramel teas; the taste is often really fake and doesnt work well with the base. More than once Ive thrown caramel-flavored teas away because they just taste foul. This, on the other hand, is really good. The creamy, burnt-sugar flavor is spot-on. Its even better with milk and sugar. |

Delightful dessert |
6/29/2016 |
| A delightful dessert tea, but was hoping for a bolder cup. The creaminess of the blend masked the black tea. Over all I was pleased with the blend. Disappointed with packaging though. The free sample was better packaged than the 8 oz of tea that I purchased. |

Perfect for a Princess Party |

| I ordered this for my Daughters sixth birthday party, and ended up serving more than I thought I would. It has a sweet, creamy flavor that is enjoyable for all ages! |

A must have tea |
3/13/2016 |
| We served this tea at our church annual ladies tea before and it was a hit.
Last year we used a different one which was not as popular and have been asked to bring back the Creme Brûlée. They all love the aroma and taste.
Absolutely delicious! |

Decadent, Wickedly Good |
2/13/2016 |
| Eye-rolling good. Some months ago I cut out sugar and refined carbs which led to a large weight loss. Some times a craving for sweets would hit causing a dilemma. Artificial sweeteners are detestable to me so I tried grocery store flavored tea. Most were dreadful and the best were merely ok. Then I discovered S&Vs Creme Brulee tea. Its rich, satisfying, sinfully good without sugar, carbs or fat. This tea is a reward to yourself, a way to make a bad day better or a good day great.
Its just like the dessert except you dont need a spoon. I expect this tea would make an delicious granita with little or no sweetener. Thank you S&V! |

Liquid Flan |
2/2/2014 |
| I am Cuban-American and my favorite dessert-to make or eat-is flan. In fact, I have mastered our familys age-old recipe for the classic flan. This tea allows me to enjoy the flavor of flan without the calories, and it complements it quite nicely when I go all out and actually make the dessert. |
