drank Ruby Pie by Butiki Teas
1774 tasting notes

Found some of this hiding in the back of my cupboard this evening! When I put some in my steeper I spied half a bunny graham which I hadn’t spotted before. Once steeped I get a bit of the hibiscus tang at the front of the sip, followed by an almost candy like berry. The hibiscus is distracting me a little more in this cup than it has in previous ones. A little sugar mellows it out and brings out the graham. The berry is even more candy like now. I’m wondering what it would be like with a little cream added, but I’m wary of ruining the cup. The smell and taste of it is like strawberry gum or cherry chapstick… without the gross waxy part. Gah! I added 1 tsp worth of cream and it obliterated the flavors! I should have trusted my instinct, but curiosity got the better of me.

Hopefully a resteep will treat me well. There is now half a bloated bunny cracker in my steeper peering up at me.

Note to self: Resist the urge to add cream!!!

Bio

My name is Dustin and I like tea.

I’m an added flavor kind of tea fan, but have had a growing appreciation for plain. I want my tea to remind me of cookies and cakes with coconut and almond slices with a hint of chocolate drizzled on top. I want dancing ponies and flying monkeys shooting off fireworks! And no hibiscus. Hibiscus is the devil.
