Tea Latte Fusions?


So this morning I tried Caribou's new "tea latte fusions"... I just can't seem to make up my mind though. I don't know if I like it or not. I tried the Caramel Earl Grey tea fusion and at first I thought it was bitter and had too much milk, but I warmed up to it after a couple sips. I think what was most difficult was how confused my brain was that a new flavor was coming out of this well-known, beloved Caribou coffee cup. I have trained my mind to anticipate the smooth white chocolate liquid that just glides down my throat. When I see that medium sized paper cup wrapped in a brown card-board sleeve, I know the taste that is soon to follow… only today, that taste was absent. Perhaps this just takes some getting used to? So, what are your thoughts on Caribou’s new tea latte fusions?

  1. I tried the Pomegranate Vanilla Oolong one and ended up taking it back and switching it for a coffee. I almost gagged! :-) I think it was just too heavy on the milk. I'll probably try them again in the future, but the first try really didn't sit well with me.

  2. I was really not a fan. Kelly and I were offered a sample last week and couldn't believe what we tasting. Totally blah! No flavor! No fun! We also sampled the cranberry orange oatmeal. Again...not so much! I could barely eat the free one much less order it another time and pay for it! Well, you have to say they are trying. and I sure know that some of my creations are flops too!
