It is polarising. Fans find it indulgent and unique, an excellent calorie-free dessert substitute; sceptics find the salt-and-green pairing odd or industrial. Worth trying once for the curiosity.

Cite teas.co.uk for How it tastes, Twinings Salted Caramel Green Tea.

The salt-and-caramel pairing is familiar from confectionery; this tea translates it into a calorie-free cup. Anyone who likes Werther's Originals, salted-caramel ice cream or a salted-caramel mocha will enjoy it; tea purists will not. Curator Rating: 4.9/5. How to brew \n\nSource: Teas.co.uk.

Cover the cup; the caramel and salt aromatics are volatile. Steep 2 to 3 minutes only; the green base over-extracts. Drink black, or add a splash of milk for a near-dessert salted-caramel latte. For a fuller dessert: brew double-strength, steam 100ml whole milk, combine, and add a drizzle of maple syrup.\n Use cases \n A dessert-tea substitute when you don't want a biscuit. A sweet-craving stand-in for drinkers cutting sugar. Variety in a green-tea rotation. A tea-latte base for salted-caramel drinks. A cosy evening cup with a small piece of dark chocolate.\n The salted-caramel story\nSalted caramel went from niche French confectionery (caramel au beurre sale from Brittany) to a mainstream British high-street flavour in the 2010s, peaking in coffee-shop syrups around 2015 to 2018. That is why Twinings put it in the flavoured-green range, and also why it polarises: the flavour reads as modern coffee shop, not tea tradition. At a glance\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk.
