As one might be able to tell from its name alone, 'Bacon Tea' is quite a unique loose leaf tea flavor from PostTea.
The brand describes the product as a "new foodie-themed black tea," which is made with a base of PostTea's pine-smoked lapsang souchong tea and its Caramel Brulee Ceylon tea. A few more flavors are layered on top of this base, including pieces of butterscotch, sunflower petals, dried apple pieces and natural bacon flavoring from sunflower oil. As well as boasting a rich scent that reminds of bacon, the tea is said to have a smoky savory taste to match.
Some of the other food-inspired loose leaf tea flavors in PostTea's collection include Blueberry Muffin, Cherry Cobbler, as well as Chocolate Fudge Chai.
