토피 올레

I was skeptical about a tea that promises caramel, but the little hazelnut brittle pieces actually melt down and give it this nutty sweetness. The rooibos keeps it from getting too dessert-like, so I've been sipping it plain every evening this week.

The hazelnut brittle pieces make this feel like a dessert in a mug rather than just flavored tea. I steep it about five minutes and the toffee sweetness comes through without any added sugar.

I was worried this would taste artificial but the caramel pieces melt into something genuinely rich. The rooibos keeps it from turning bitter even when I forget and let it steep too long. It's become my nightly cup instead of dessert.
