Writing tasting notes on the iPad doesn’t always work so well. Finally got a chance to sit and relax and try this one. I’ve been trying to get through all of them before my next two orders show up :) the strawberry in this one almost seems to be hiding only to peek out when you least expect it. A very nice mellow tea for this evening m

I received this as a sample from Stacy @ Butiki in my order. I think I have steeped this wrong since I didn’t get what most have mentioned from this tea. To be fair, it was still an enjoyable tea but not quite what I was expecting. Added some sugar to see if that changed the taste enough – about the same. That being said, I’d be wiling to give it another shot as I feel like at this stage in the game, it’s likely ME not the tea :)

When I first opened this bag of tea my instant thought was that it smells exactly like one of my favourite alcoholic ciders :) Liberteas is tootaly right about the spices in this one. I’m going to have to try this a few more times to really wrap my brain around the taste. Overall a nice afternoon tea.

I think I have over steeped this one. While it’s nicely flavoured there’s a hint of something there that makes me wish I was instead drinking Madam Butterfly. I’ll have to give this another go tonight when I get home – work isn’t really a great set up for my tea habits…..yet!

I’m thinking maybe Butiki has an opportunity to develop some perfumes with all of the amazing scents their teas have j/k While I enjoyed this tea quite a bit – the flavour lingers like a friend who’s having a great time and doesn’t want to leave – I’m beinning to think that i’m not a huge fan of Rooibos. Still a great tea but lower on my list than the others because of the rooibos.

So another Butiki Tea….probably going to be a lot of these in the next few days as I work through my first order :) This tea smells like a real raspberry truffle! Once i smelled the tea I was a little unsure of how i’d feel drinking it but I guess i should know better by now when it comes to butiki. This tea is delicious! I don’t have much experience with chocolate teas but this is an entirely different beast. Rather than punching you in the face with FLAVOUR! the tea eases into your mouth and casually walks up to let you know that yes… the raspeberry truffle HAS arrived.
