Like tea with Werthers |
7/28/2020 |
| So, first off, this smells FANTASTIC. Like caramel and sugar and tea. Like if someone stuffed my tea with Wethers.
However, it doesn't taste like that. It tastes like a mild black tea with a hint of sweetness. There's just a mild taste of burnt caramel I associate with chewy English toffee. The Brits like their sweets alright, but they usually have more flavors than the pure American ROT YOUR TEETH OUT SWEETNESS normally found in our candies.
Not that I'm not a fan of corn syrup, but something else to the sweetness is nice.
Overall, pleasant way to start the week. This taste is not over powering and you have to sip it slowly to sort through the flavors. But, if you like toffee, I presume this would be very good. Also, if you just like black tea with a bit of flavoring. |

A great coffee alternative |

| This has helped to wean me off of flavored coffees. I feel like I have an indulgence but it’s really calorie free. |

English Toffee |
8/21/2018 |
| I am a huge fan of toffee and was very excited to try this tea. It is just ok for me. It has a nice toffee flavor but I wish it was a tad bit stronger. I agree with the reviewer who said compared to the almond sugar cookie and apple cinnamon coffee cake this one falls a little short for me. It’s still a very good tea and if your a fan of toffee I would recommend you check this one out. |

| I love toffee - this tea really tastes like English Toffee! I was pleasantly surprised - sometimes flavored teas taste a little funky, but this was really great! |

An First-Class Tea for many Pleasantries |
9/21/2017 |
| I bought the tea already being enamored with Toffee as a sweet candy and am absolutely delighted by this select English Dessert Tea from Simpson and Vail, Inc. Brewed to the specifications on their website and served with a dollop of honey measured about on my teacup spoon truly make this a liquid version of authentic Toffee. An exquisitely marvelous quality beverage. Drank for Afternoon Tea (or any time delectably) creates a wonderful sensory indulgence. |

Certainly English Toffee but not as special as many S&V teas! |
2/12/2017 |
| This one is a little on the plain side, as it is simply black tea and flavoring. I can definitely tell that it is toffee, but not enough toffee flavoring for my tastes. The black tea in the base isnt my favorite (it seems like or tastes like Ceylon). Maybe I didnt use enough leaves or steep it the right way. Not the best from the dessert sampler. But its fine enough for a sweet tasting tea! So many delicious options from S&V though....
Steep #1 // 1 teaspoon for a full mug// 11 minutes after boiling // 3 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // 3-4 minute steep |

Bold & Delicious Dessert |

| Exactly what a dessert tea should be. Full bodied black tea with moderate notes of toffee. The toffee taste was most noticeable as a finishing note, which didnt overwhelm the tea itself. |

Not my preferred toffee |
10/25/2016 |
| Very delicious as a subtle black tea and surprisingly sweet, however I would have liked a stronger toffee flavor. Good, but not my favorite dessert tea. I would choose other black teas over this and come back to this one after going low on my favorites in my tea stash. Probably would not order again. |

Makes me feel guilty for drinking it at breakfast |
12/5/2015 |
| This is one of those rare teas that you can ACTUALLY call a dessert tea. With a touch of honey its like drinking a hot, liquid candy bar. As someone who tries to eat and drink healthy, I have never bought into the whole *Have an apple instead of a cookie* thing because apples may be good but theyre not dessert. However, this tea plus my half a teaspoon of honey is really quite a satisfying and delicious treat that doesnt make me miss cookies. I love how rich it is, I love the distinctive flavor and I love that it tastes so deliciously natural. When I want dessert I have a cup of English Toffee and Im happy again. |

A Perfectly Good Tea - But Not English Toffee |
6/16/2014 |
| The description for this tea calls it sweet and creamy with a light butterscotch taste. Sorry, I didnt get any of those. Not a bad cup of tea at all, but not one I would call a desert tea.
The ingredients listed are black teas, flavoring, and marigold petals. Sadly, this is not the replacement for the discontinued Celestial Seasonings English Toffee tea as I had hoped, which was long among my favorite of their offerings. Their English Toffee ingredient list: Roasted carob, roasted chicory root, roasted barley malt, natural English toffee flavor with other natural flavors, cinnamon, Luo Han Guo, milk thistle seed, and roasted barley. 100% Natural. This product contains all-natural herbs and flavors. May contain Gluten.
I urge Simpson and Vail to experiment with such a mix. You might hit upon the winner I wish this English Toffee tea had been. |
