3 Tasting Notes
In short, a medium-bodied green tea with a perfect melody of sweet, juicy strawberry with sincere cream notes.
The first sip begins with an earthy body then gracefully heightens into a sweet and clean strawberry nectar taking the place of that famous vegetal aftertaste which green tea is known for. It’s a refreshing break from traditional straight green teas an offers a melodic flavor unmatched by most flavored teas.
The second sip explores more of a creamy dessert side as it takes the forefront of the palette then winds back down to the earthiness which the traditional green tea embodies.
A unique balance and middle-ground for sweetness and earthiness.
*Try iced!
Preparation
This is a good tea but not my favorite. It has a better aroma than the flavor. Tasted a lot of berry. If you are a berry fan then this is your tea- interesting blend with the vanilla. All the flavors in the description were there but overall it came out a little flat. Definitely better tasting if added a little sugar and personally I am not fond of sugar in tea other than this.
Flavors: Berries, Cocoa, Vanilla
Preparation
This is my first time purchasing from Butiki Teas and certainly not my last. Out of the five teas (including two free samples of choice) that I ordered, the aroma won me over. I have never smelled a tea that smelled just like pie. The tea had a lot of maple flavor, more than pecan and not a lot of oolong the first steep. It depends on what your preference is. If looking for a desert style, this is your tea. I personally like the second steep better because the maple flavors were a bit toned down and the oolong flavor was more present. It is sweet warm and buttery, definitely a good blend. First time buying from Butiki and just from tasting this cup I could tell they were not lying about their quality.
