The Verdict
The Verdict
STASH Earl’s Delight Latte is a tea concentrate that splits the room. With 131 Amazon reviews averaging 3.9/5, it delivers a genuinely convenient London-fog-style latte at home — but the sweetness and the almond flavoring are deal-breakers for a loud minority.
“Delicious tea. Other tea concentrates i’ve purchased are usually syrupy sweet with a one dimensional flavor profile. This tea concentrate is like a symphony in the mouth, various flavors come out to play.” — Slightly Dazed, Very Confused, verified review
What Buyers Love
The convenience is the biggest win. Shelby Ann McCrossen put it simply: “Tastes just like a London fog! Makes it super easy (and cheaper) to make at home!” Angela DeFranco, who used it for dirty London fog lattes, said it was “so yummy it didn’t even last a week” and praised STASH’s consistent quality.
Fans also point to the flavor complexity. The reviewer above describes “a really pleasant almond tone” that develops as you sip — a level of depth they say other concentrates lack. Kindle Customer found the fix for the sweetness: “It was a little too sweet, but I added a little more ice, and it was perfect for me.”
Where It Falls Short
Sweetness is the loudest complaint. Courtney Mansell was blunt: “Even with a 50/50 dilution with milk, it’s too sweet for me to get past one or two sips… it tastes like it has roughly twice as much sugar and sweetness as a Starbucks London fog latte.” Nfoy, who gave it 4 stars, agreed: “I love an Earl Grey latte but this was entirely too sweet for me.”
The almond flavoring is the second fault line. Idahome, a self-described STASH loyalist, called it “a total fail” — “the flavor is like the juice from a jar of maraschino cherries. They clearly used almond flavoring to simulate Earl Grey, and it’s awful.”
There’s also a milk compatibility note: Slightly Dazed, Very Confused found it “works better with dairy milk. Tried a bunch of non-dairy options and tasted flat, almost like drinking the concentrate alone.”
Who Should Buy It
Buy it if you want a fast, cheap London fog without a coffee-shop run and you have a solid sweet tooth — or plan to dilute it heavily with ice or extra milk. Fans also suggest it for dirty lattes with a shot of espresso.
Who Should Skip It
Skip it if you prefer lightly sweetened tea or dislike almond extract — both are prominent in this concentrate. And if you’re strictly plant-milk only, consider a test bottle before committing, given the flat non-dairy results one reviewer reported.
Bottom Line
With 3.9/5 from 131+ Amazon reviews, STASH Earl’s Delight Latte is a convenient, genuinely tasty London fog shortcut — if you can handle the sweetness and the almond note. Buy it expecting a dessert-like latte, not a subtle Earl Grey, and it’ll treat you well.
