Flyawaybirdie drank Red Queen Cupcake by Butiki Teas

307 tasting notes

A very apt name for a beautifully balanced tea.

I got a hint of berries and M&Ms during the first steep, but let me tell you that it (the steep) didn’t last very long. The third and fourth steep were a delightful chocolate cake. If there was ever a red velvet cake in tea form, Stacy has captured it beautifully.

Instuctions on the bag say to add sugar, but I didn’t. I might try it next time, but this tea doesn’t need it.

Preparation

Boiling 3 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

I get easily excited and tend to get into the habit of collecting things I get really really excited about- books, fountain pens, fragrance, tea and any number of things. Mostly I’m just really excitable.

My favorites are oolongs! Also high for me are greens and ripe pu’erh. But I do like most teas and I’ll try most anything at least once. I just don’t like rooibos, smokey, or banana flavored things.

My name is Christina, but there’s also another Christina with a cat as a profile picture, so I go by Flyawaybirdie.

Feel free to drop me a message anytime. I love messages/letters/etc.

NOTE!: My cupboard is not up to date. Not even close. But it does have a bunch of teas I have pretty substantial quantities of, so I put them in there anyways because I’m unlikely to run out soon. Also, if I wrote a note on it and didn’t include a TTB name or a sipdown note, I’m likely to still have some even if it’s not in my cupboard, so feel free to ask if you want to swap!

Steepsterite since 2014. :D
