This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Ok, I'm lazy. Tea can be easier to make than coffee. This is the perfect substitute and I love it. While caramel tea is not my favorite, I love this hicaf tea that makes everything better at 6 am. Its note overly sweet or trying to be like coffee. Its just a simple tea that helps me wake up :) Perfection.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I switch between this and the hi caf coconut. LOVE THEM!!!!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Delicious caramel flavor shines in this super charged black tea. Excellent coffee substitute, luscious in the morning!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is one of the best teas I've ever tried, no joke. I have a preference for sweet black teas and this blend didn't disappoint. The caramel notes are light and don't overwhelm the tea. This is strong without being bitter, and just the perfect cup to keep you going throughout the day. I will buy it again and recommend it to anyone who likes black tea.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Buying in bulk lowers the price. We drink this tea every morning, so we go through a bunch.
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars To me, the taste of the three Hi-Caf teas I tried do not match their names. No caramel taste here, at all. However, what does hit the mark is the combination of caffeine and L-Theanine. It is calming, as promised.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love the dark sweet taste of the Carmel and keep me going all day at work.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars My go to brew in the mornings is Hi-Caf caramel black. It is easy on me when I need to wake up immediately and I can keep going on one cup for most of the morning. It is delicious and the aroma is fantastic.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is the best way that I can describe this tea. If you are the type (like me) who drives through the line at the local coffee shop asking for a double shot, mocha with extra caramel, this is your tea. I shared a bag with a colleague who immediately got online and ordered a tin of it. Definitely a "coffee break" tea for when you want to treat yourself and deserve an indulgent break. This is me time, tea.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is a huge hit in my house. I was trying to stop drinking coffee (I have a hard time NOT adding a ton of cream and sugar) and this tea hit the spot. It's got a great flavor and is a great replacement for my morning caffeine fix!
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars It did not taste or smell like what caramel black tea should be. You need to add milk and sugar for it to taste good.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I can really taste the Caramel note it is very good 👠I'm drinking it plain but my next cup 🥤 I will add my vanilla been honey 🯠that I get from The Republic of Tea I usually put in all my tea 🵠I always brew my tea with 2 bags.

This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars I normally drink coffee. I bought this for a change of pace. Steeping for 3 minutes got me buzzed.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Add a little sweetener and some cream and it's like drinking candy. Mmmmmm!!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is the second flavor of the Hi Caf teas I have purchased and it is another winner. Nice flavor and a good amount of caffeine. Makes a delicious latte if you pair it with frothed milk.

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Delicious tea that makes a great substitute for your anytime coffee
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars R of T's bold, bracing blend of the best black and green tea have to offer features in this divinely energizing brew. Boasting a copious kick of caffeine topped with a subtle, smooth kiss of caramel, this particular Hi-Caf selection is "dolcemente delizioso" and oh-so satisfying. Makes for a great "wake-up call" cuppa in the morning or a special afternoon "sweet treat" to beat the "mid-day slump." Either way, it's a caramel lover's dream!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Love it for its high caf, taste and smell but doesn't feel like drinking coffee.
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars I can actually slightly taste the caramel notes however it is not a sweet tasting type of tea with milk. For some odd reason I thought it would taste sweet because of the caramel.
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars I didn't care for the flavor.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Absolutely delicious and a good coffee substitute. True caramel flavor; excellent with milk!

This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars I had high hopes for the hi caf Caramel tea after reading other reviews and it just didn't cut it for me. There was a real lack of caramel flavor, it just tasted plain. I was not at all as happy with this as I anticipated. It was very bland tasting.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars fast shipping
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars I really did like this. Very nice!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars If you want an extra pep in your step this tea is for you! It's delicious too!!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is my favorite caffeinated tea, since I can't drink coffee. And Republic of Tea has great and super quick delivery.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars After acquiring chronic fatigue from the plague, I started exploring my caffeine options more thoroughly. I dislike the bitterness of coffee, but have always enjoyed a good cuppa tea. I had tried the plain black High Caf but was curious about other flavor options. This one has proven to be my favorite, both hot and iced. Opening up the canister, you're greeted with the strong but welcoming scent of caramel. When brewed, that note prevails, a very nice and smooth flavor mixed with the robustness of black tea. And it really does give a kick of energy.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars My favorite is Cinnamon Toast, but the caramel is yummy too!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is really a nice tea, ready for Autumn. It is really good hot or iced. I will be buying more these sample packs to give to co-workers in their gift bags for the holidays.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love the high caffeinated teas but some are indeed better than others as far as flavor goes. And I believe that this caramel and the French toast one are the best.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Tried a few of the Hicaf teas and the caramel one has helped me transition off coffee.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I bought a few samples of the Hi-Caf teas and loved them. They were better than coffee for an energy boost at work when I was short on sleep. I'm looking for to buying the Carmel flavor again.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is my go-to weekdays morning choice. I've ordered it several times. The caramel flavor is nice and gives it just enough extra flavor without being overpowering. It also smells nice when you open the cannister.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I adore the warm & sad smooth flavor of HICAF "Carsmel" Black Tea. It is a great Breskfast, late morning or lunchtime energizer This makes a nice hot tea.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Website easy to navigate. Fast notifications of shipping and prompt delivery of orders.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I'm so glad I tried the 5-bag sample of this one. I generally drink iced teas and am pretty limited on the hot teas that I like. The first time I tried this, I was not convinced, it tasted 'weird' to me. But, by the third time, I was in love. I do have to add a lot of sweetener, but I tend to do that with any hot tea. I've go the 50-count tin in my next order.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is a tasty black tea with a smooth caramel flavor. My favorite Hicaf tea is probably the toasted coconut, but the caramel is also very good! They've done a good job with flavors that mask the HIGH level of caffeine. :)
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I don't drink coffee and I am trying to cut down on soda. This tea jump-starts my mornings. (And then I follow it up with a cup of Earl Greyer.)
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I need caffeine some days as I am not a coffee drinker. This tea has a mild caramel flavor with black tea. I do not put any sweetener in my tea. I like that it has the caffeine without the bitter taste effect you get from black teas. It helps wake me up.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I originally purchased this as a sample, and glad I did. This sits better with my stomach when I'm on a deadline and need the extra caffeine. I like it with a little half and half to smooth it out and it's sweet enough for me without sugar. Give it a try!
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars It might just be that I don't prefer caramel and I've never had another caramel tea. That said this is probably my lowest preference of the hicafs. Still a 4 star tho because they aren't lying when they say hicaf. Brew responsibly.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I have had the regular black HICAF and decided to try this flavor and I love it! I drink the HICAF mostly at work in the afternoon to make it through the rest of the day.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love the hi-caf teas because they wake me up in the morning without over-doing it. I often feel a little jittery or get an upset stomach with coffee, and this really hits the spot. The caramel flavor is very subtle, which I think is perfect.
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars The only problem with these hi caf teas is that you can taste the caffeine if you don't add tons of milk or sugar to mask it. That being said, if you can get past the slight bitterness, it is rather good and much cheaper and healthier than an energy drink with the same amount of caffeine per cup would be.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This great tea is a favorite in our house and a wonderful coffee alternative. Smooth and tasty!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love anything caramel and this one is amazing! Great taste and love the caffeine in it.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I used to drink a competitor's salted caramel tea, and it is good, but this one is great. I love the depth of flavor; it has a rich full flavor and I don't miss the "salted" aspect. Only downside is I can't drink it too late in the evening because it's hi-caf.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Wow! I love the vanilla almond tea and thought I would try this one for the extra caffeine boost and it is my new favorite! It really helps to wake me up in the morning, gives me an extra energy boost and tastes delicious.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I am super particular about my tea and this one is by far the best I've ever had! A teaspoon of local honey even takes it up a notch. You won't be disappointed!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I have been a loyal customer of RoT forever and this doesn't disappoint in quality and deliciousness! I will buy this again often!!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I have been a loyal customer of RoT forever and this doesn't disappoint in quality and deliciousness! I will buy this again often!!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars One of my favorites. I had to buy the bulk bag again! This tea is tasty and a high caffeine option for tea lovers who need the extra punch to get going and keep going in the mornings (especially with young children)!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars The quality of all the teas I have had are outstanding. I do love the Hi caf teas. The flavour description just seems off. I just do not get the caramel notes. That doesn't mean it is bad in any way. It is still very good. Will I buy it again? Yes. But I may experiment first, so many flavours so little time.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is my favorite tea. It has more caffeine than a regular cup of tea but doesn't make me feel jittery like coffee does. The flavor is pretty subtle, which I think is perfect!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is a great way to begin every day.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is my favourite tea from Republic of Tea. I need caffeine but I dislike the taste of coffee, so the hicaf range have gotten me through many years of studying and working. The caramel flavour in particular is very enjoyable: mellow and comforting, and delicious at any temperature, black or with milk.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Nice cuppa and a good change of pace from my normal Breakfast Tea.
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars Not a bad tasting tea but its not especially good either. Its better with a splash of milk but if you're looking for the best tasting hi-caf tea, the cinnamon toast black tea is by far the better option.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is one of my two favorite teas (the other being the Hi-Caf Cinnamon Toast Black), and since my stomach doesn't deal well with the acidity of coffee, this is a delicious, affordable alternative to keep my brain working well through the mid-afternoon slump.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars The combination of black and green teas is very potent and this Caramel flavor is nothing short of sensational! Honestly, it's delicious beyond compare.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love this tea!! Oh my gosh, add splenda & a dash of milk, it's so good. Strong favor. I buy it by the bag full.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love to add this to either the Double Choc or Vanilla Almond teas. Absolutely delicious and has that punch to wake me up in the morning!
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars I was really looking forward to this flavor when I ordered it, since I've tried the Caramel Vanilla Cuppa Cake flavor in a sampler pack and LOVED it. I decided to order the HiCaf Caramel because of the caffeine content and was hoping it would taste similarly to the Caramel Vanilla tea, but unfortunately, this tea turned out to be on the more bitter side and wasn't very sweet at all even with a little sugar and milk added. Like some of the other reviews here mentioned, this tea actually tastes more like burnt caramel and I am definitely not a fan. The burnt taste is really hard for me to get past.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Stopped drinking coffee about a year ago, and now drink just this great tasting tea.
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars It really did wake me up, that's for sure. I've never tried a caramel tea before so to me the taste was a bit different, but I really did enjoy it!
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars While I'm not a huge fan of stevia, I did like the fact that the Cinnamon Toast Hi-Caff tea had some, making it a little sweet and still 0 calories. I assumed that the Caramel would be the same, which was an incorrect assumption. The caramel is a little burned/bitter, so could definitely use a touch of stevia to improve it.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I bought this tea after trying it at a coffee shop in West Virginia. The flavor is not overpowering and adds just enough caramel to make it something special. The caffeine boost is not one that makes me feel overcaffeinated or jittery. This is now my go-to tea!
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars I was really looking forward to trying this out. The high caffeine content obviously was the prime selling point. Unfortunately, it has a very bitter and unpleasant aftertaste. I even tried steeping for less than the recommended time, no help. There needs to be a sampler option for the HiCaf teas. I wouldn't purchase this again.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Love the high caffeine and sweet taste - it helps provide a pep in ones step as a substitute for both coffee and cinnamon rolls in either the morning (or anytime). Or tastes great along with a cinnamon roll.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I got this product because of the caramel flavor. The aroma is just divine, provided enough of a kick to start the day off right. Very well blended.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is AWESOME tea...
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is the third flavor of Hi-Caf tea I have purchased (Cinnamon Toast and Toasted Coconut were the first two). I liked those two flavors, but this one is my favorite! I found it had a mellower flavor while still providing the benefits of the higher caffeine levels. I really like that all these teas help me stay alert without making me feel jittery or 'buzzed'. Great flavor and good results; I'll be buying this again!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love this tea. It is better than coffee. I don't even have to drink coffee anymore
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I bought this out of curiosity, and it's great! It's like having caramel candy for breakfast and it wakes me up fast!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This one is my absolute favorite tea. It has a great caramel flavor to it and is my go to tea when I need a little pick me up.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This tea is great, I love coffee but can't drink it because it gives me awful acid reflux. This tea is the closest thing I have found to a coffee substitute.
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars It tasted like burnt caramel to me no matter how long I steeped it. I just boiled water, poured it over the tea bag in my mug, let it steep for 3 minutes, removed the bag, and added a little bit of sugar and almond milk to it.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I drink this EVERY DAY. Coffee gives me stomach aches, and green tea does not have enough caffeine in it. This is not only delicious, but it wakes me up every morning. And the best part is, it doesn't upset my stomach! I LOVE this tea! Highly recommend.
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars I bought this tea hoping to save money on the coffee I was buying everyday. By itself, it has a very strong taste to it even though I was hoping the caramel would lighten it. Adding vanilla creamer and sugar helps it a lot for me since I do like my teas on the sweeter side. This tea has gotten me through all nighters at school and through the days that I needed that extra pick me up. I would recommend this tea to anyone looking for a nice cup with an extra kick of caffeine.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars NO jitters, fogginess, afternoon dips, or acidity...Way better than the energy I can get with coffee. I like to add liquid chai tea mix and almond milk to it for a really strong chai tea latte..mmmmmmmm...
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This tea tastes amazing and gives you a nice caffeine boost in the morning. Can't & won't start my day off without it.
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars I bought this tea because it had high reviews and I'm a huge fan of the Cinnamon Toast Hi-Caf tea. While this tea is good, I prefer the Cinnamon Toast flavor. I don't particularly taste a distinct caramel flavor. I do enjoy the Hi-Caf teas as I'm not a coffee drinker and really rely on the caffeine in the morning.
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars you need time to appreciate the flavor it does taste like carmel
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars Really good but not my favorite
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars Very good flavor. I gave this tea a 4 star review, because the Cinnamon Toast Hi Caf is my favorite! Best with a dash of cream for me.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I work offshore, and start every work day with a cup of this tea! Coffee makers are bulky, but there's usually room in our unit for a hot water pot, which means tea is far more convenient than coffee. The shot of caffeine is very welcomed when I've been working 12 hour shifts away from home for 4 weeks straight! Love this tea! Oh, and the caramel flavor is smooth and not overpowering, making it perfect for drinking straight up with no sugar, honey, or milk/cream added.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars The cafe at the bookstore where i work carries Republic of Tea so I can always keep stoked up but after last Christmas they no longer carry the Triple Caf!!! I've check with the local groceries that carry it but they can't get the triple caf either. Out of desperation I've come to the website hoping that you hadn't discontinued it as my stock was running out. Now just in time to keep me revved up during the holiday rush I can get my fix. Coffee upsets my tummy so this it great. Am going to sample some others that have caught my eye at the site too.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Ever since the first time I tried this tea it has become my morning pick me up. It gives me just the right amount of caffeine to wake me up, without the crash. This is, and always will be in stock in my pantry. 5/5!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I had an allergy test come back positive for coffee. I thought it was weird--who is allergic to coffee? But I dutifully agreed to give up my 3 cup a day habit. I ordered a sample of the Hicaf teas and made the switch cold turkey. The caramel black is perfect.
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars So far this is my least favorite of this series of teas. I thought the taste really clashed between the black tea and the caramel and had almost a sickly-sweet taste to it. Would recommend the coconut one if you want something more plain and the cinnamon toast one if you want sweet that meshes well with the tea taste.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I have never in all of my 65 years found a tea that I like as much as this one. Just the right amount of caffeine punch and the flavor...... so smooth, not overly sweet - it is perfection. I'm thinking I will put this one on auto ship. You've got a winner in this one.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This tea is aptly subtitled "a better buzz". I stopped drinking coffee about a year ago and now will never go back to the short-lived buzz from a cup of coffee. I will drink a cup of HiCaf tea in the afternoon for a pick me up that lasts the rest of the day without the crash of coffee. This tea fills me with an energy that I can feel throughout my whole body. . .I can't say enough how this tea is the greatest pick me up ever! The taste is perfect. . .I never add cream or sugar since it doesn't need it. Without this tea, I'd be lost!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I was looking for a healthier way to get my morning caffeine boost and this is the perfect replacement! No horrible crashes and a wonderful smell and taste. I sweeten my tea with local honey and it is just delicious! You must get some right now. I cannot wait to try the other flavors.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love this tea. I've been making bulletproof tea with it for awhile now, using pasture butter and MCT oil. I love that it gives me an energy boost, without feeling jittery.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars It's SO lovely... and the aroma? WOW. I want to give this to ALL my loved ones! ;) just brilliant.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Great tasting tea that helps wake me up in the morning. Love to start my day with this tea or the Toasted Coconut HiCaf tea. Look forward to it every morning.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Just tried this tea for the first time and I'm completely blown away. The flavor is perfect with just the right amount of caffeine.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars As someone who can't stand coffee I have always has to resort to either caffeinated soft drink or No-Doze tablets neither of which are all that ideal. Finally I have a better option! This tea is yummy, full of caramel flavour and actually perks me up :)
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Very impressed with this tea. I was looking for something to replace coffee, where I still got the caffeine but not the calories. The tea tastes great and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Taste great and provides energy. It does not make me jittery. I am very alert and motivated after I have had a cup. I highly recommend.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is a great smooth, high caffine tea. I drink it in place of a latte in the am and save a ton of calories.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This tea has a great flavor and helps to wake me up without the heavy bloating feeling that coffee sometimes causes.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars What rush when I first tasted this tea. I was expecting something strong, but not something that left coffee in the dust! Plus it's got a good, warm carmel flavor, which I love in other teas. I thought the Hi-Caf teas were a gimmick, but now I'm hooked. They wake me up in the morning and ready for the world.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I've been a diet soda drinker for over 25 years- every day first thing in the morning for my caffeine buzz. This addiction has actually stopped due to hicaf teas. I drink one in the am and one in the afternoon and I'm feeling no negative after effects headaches, or withdrawals I expected from the diet soda habit. The caramel black is delicious, my fave, although I've tried all hicaf varieties! It's delicious iced or hot. I feel better and cravings to snack on sweet foods has also decreased. I am so happy to have this new healthy option!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is a really nice tea. It brews up well and the caffeine really bolsters your energy level without giving you the jitters or a caffeine high. It is not bitter like you might think it would be. It tastes just like any other black tea, but with a more powerful kick that lasts for hours. Very very nice!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Just left a 5-star review for the Pomberry HiCAF as well. I just love these new teas. They give me a boost that stays with me for a while, as opposed to the shorter-lived buzz/crash effect I get from coffee. Plus this caramel flavor is rich and tasty. I have about 20 different R of T flavors - whites, greens, oolongs, blacks, herbals. I love them all and am so happy to be able to add these HiCAF blends to my long list of faves. Nice extra "perk" (pun intended) - I'm saving money by not buying a latte on my way home from work every day!
