My Favorite After-School Special: Marshmallow Krispy Treat from The Necessiteas

The Marshmallow Krispy Treat, the staple of after school snacking or easy, no-bake sweet treats.  And now, we can taste this simple dessert in tea form.  This blend uses a black tea base sweetened up with mini marshmallows and puffed rice cereal pieces.  The dry leaf smells sweet and buttery like the crispy breakfast cereal.

When brewed, the blend tastes more caramel than marshmallow.  This tea is best with a bit of milk to pump of the mini marshmallow sweetness, otherwise the black tea base takes over the other flavors.  This is a tasty blend, but it doesn’t quite match its name or ingredient list.  I think this blend might have been better-suited for a genmai chai blend with lighter grassy teas and toasted rice built in.

However, I understand that green teas aren’t for everyone.  If you’re a black tea lover this will be a unique dessert flavor with enough bold black tea tannins to suit your preferences.  Or if you’re skeptical of a tea with puffed rice, rest assured that this tea tastes much more like creme brulee or caramel drizzle than rice cereal.

Next time, I’ll have to top off my mug with some added marshmallows of my own!
