Buttered Rum

Name:  Buttered Rum


Brand:  David's Tea


Primary Type:  Black


Dry Scent:  Smells exactly as advertised, like hot buttered rum  Honestly, there is no better way to describe this.  Warm, buttery and with the sharp, sweet bite of spiced rum in the scent, with the black tea's earthiness holding it all together.


Steeping Time: 5-6 min (take note, this can easily oversteep and become bitter)


Steeped Flavour:  Tastes very much like hot buttered rum as well, although obviously without any of the alcohol burn of the rum.  Warm, comforting on a cold night, and makes me think of winter nights and coming in from the cold to sit in front of a roaring fire.


Food/Drink Pairings:  The obvious one is, of course, adding a tot of spiced rum to this, but I also think it would go well with cream liqueurs.  It would pair nicely with cakes, trifle and other rich desserts, but it also works nicely as a dessert on its own.


Rating out of Six Tails:

5.5/6
