Tea #22 from the Here’s Hoping TTB

As I’ve said time and time again, I really really hate orange, but I love almost all things Butiki so I gave this one a shot. Guess what, I really liked this tea and it’s my favorite chocolate orange tea to date. It was a little too tart for my tastes so I ended up sweetening it a little bit with german rock sugar, which was suggested in the description. What I really like is that I can pick out all three flavors, they’re balanced beautifully with the black base. I did find myself longing for a little more creamy flavor from the marshmallow, but the sugar really helped draw the missing flavor out.

I also like this one a lot, it’s not too candy like. I understand why you still like it even though you hate orange. IMO, the citrus part has more of an orange essential oil feel rather than that synthetic fakeTang orange juice taste found in most flavoured teas…

Bio

I am always interested in swapping so if you see anything in my cupboard that you want to try just send me a message. Please keep in mind that I order most of my teas in sample sizes and may not have a lot to swap. I’m also trying to keep my swaps limited to one a month so I don’t break the bank.

My favorite tea companies to order from are American Tea Room, Rishi, TeaVivre, and Single Origin Teas, however I am constantly lured away from my favorites by a good sale.

Ingredients I love in tea
rose, peach, oolong, osmanthus, vanilla, marshmallow root and peppermint

Ingredients I dislike in tea:
spearmint, chocolate, orange, hibiscus, sage and for the most part lemon.

I am a firm believer that sage only belongs in my thanksgiving stuffing/dressing and absolutely not in my tea.

Allergies
Cinnamon, Chocolate, Burdock Root, and Goji Berries

Teawares:

Rating Guidelines:

100 – 90: Pantry essential and some of my all time favorites that I can’t live without.

89 – 80: You’ll have a pretty good chance of finding this is my pantry on a regular basis, but it isn’t the end of the world if I run out.

79 – 70: I might consider restocking this at some point if the price was right.

69 – 40: Not undrinkable, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to buy it again.

39 – 20: What in the world were they thinking? Probably still finished this just because I hate to waste anything.

19 – 0: Wow, that’s so terrible chances are pretty good I dumped it out and gave away the rest.

My current top five favorite teas:

China Black – Rishi Tea
Earl Grey Cream – Zen Tea
Lemoncello – American Tea Room
Nonpareil Anxi Qing Xiang TieGuanYin Oolong – TeaVivre
White Tea Rose Mélange – Rishi Tea
