Easter as a child has always been a sugar filled delight, waking up in the morning to find Easter Bunny’s powdery trail weaving in and out of the house, leading to chocolate eggs hidden inside the fruit bowl and behind potted plants. Yet the joy does not have to end when you become an adult. Spending time with family and sharing Easter treats is a joy and a glutton in itself. And thanks to our tea cream caramel, the joy (and glutton) just became a whole lot bigger! We are not saying farewell to chocolate, I don’t think that could ever be an option (for me anyways), but sometimes an alternative choice is warmly welcomed. Our tea cream caramel indeed does not lack in the sweet hit that chocolate gives us, but that sweetness is subtly balanced with the nourishing flavour of tea from real tea leaves. And because of this, we like to think our tea cream caramel is not only as decadent, but healthier than your ordinary Easter chocolate.
Below are our top 3 caramel picks for your pure guilt-free indulgence. I mean, who doesn’t want the benefits of tea served in a luxurious form of caramel!
Goddess of Unearthly Delight
What we love about this caramel is its rich and roasted undertones. Goddess of Unearthly Delight is made with pure Tie Guan Yin oolong tea leaves which have been roasted the traditional way, resulting in a flavour that is sweet and nutty. Our caramels are divine on their own, but also pair perfectly with dessert (especially chocolate!) You could even spoon some onto your Easter eggs, or bite a hole and pour some caramel inside to make your very own caramel egg (shh, we won’t tell anyone). Packed with oolong teas antioxidants, Tie Guan Yin can help to lower cholesterol and stress in the body. If you are a fan of a roasted nutty caramel, then you will not be disappointed with our Goddess of Unearthly Delight. A true delight to take you out of this world to one that even the Easter Bunny doesn’t know about!
Wuyi Wonders
This caramel is for those of you who enjoy a decadent caramel with rich woody undertones, so without further ado, let us present to you Wuyi Wonders. What gives this caramel its rich woody undertones is through the way the tea leaves have been processed. Sourced from the famous Wuyi Mountains, our ShuiXian oolong tea leaves have undergone high oxidation, resulting in a deeper and woody flavour. Wuyi Wonders breaks up its deep flavour with a hint of raisin and apricot, that add to the natural sweetness of the caramel. We picked this tea caramel for Easter because it goes so well with chocolate thanks to its deep tasting notes. Our ShuiXian tea also boasts healing for our bodies such as lowering blood pressure and improving digestive health. Easter would not be complete for you or your family without a jar of our Wuyi Wonders– for those of you who like things a little dark and mysterious.
Citrus Rays
Lastly, our pick for Easter goes to our floral counterpart Citrus Rays. Earl Grey is a shining star in the tea world- a tea that has been dominating our breakfast mornings for many years now, it should only be fair to be made into a delectable caramel, am I right? And what better time to enjoy its floral and citrus notes is no other than Easter. If you have not guessed our Citrus Rays is made with delightful Earl Grey tea that gives our caramel a smooth and floral taste, with subtle notes of lemon and grapefruit. Containing amino acid L-theanine which can help to improve focus and calm in the body, our caramel is more than just a naughty delight at Easter. If you ask us, it is a ray of glorious gooey sunshine, so go ahead and keep a few jars stored in your kitchen for this Easter and beyond.
