drank Smoky Butterscotch Peach by 52teas
4271 tasting notes

Additional notes: I was craving a butterscotch tea today and this is the only one that would mildly work. This tea never quite matched what I wanted it to be, not butterscotch enough and not peach enough BUT the flavor profile is entirely unique… not really anything like any other tea I’ve tried. It must be the unique flavors (smoke, peach, butterscotch) with the unique black tea. I do crave this tea once in a while so I’m raising the rating a bit from a 68.

Edited to add: I might like the flavor with this one better with 1 1/2 or 1 3/4 teaspoons. Unfortunately, I have only one serving left then. Some teas just taste better when you’re craving them!

This tea is interesting because you may not think its amazing but if you want it, there is nothing that could replace it.

I quite like this one. AS you say, it is a unique flavor combo.

Hi! I love tea and trying new ones – it adds a bit of variety to my day! Books, music, TV & movies are my thing… and tea, of course.

My icon photo is Richard Mayhew from the graphic novel ‘Neverwhere’ by Neil Gaiman, Mike Carey & Glenn Fabry.

Most of the teas listed in my cupboard are actually sample sizes. I don’t really have 2,000 ounces of tea around here! Many of my teas have only one teaspoon left… maybe two. But I like keeping them in my cupboard list for reference to what I could be sipping. Usually, I write tasting notes once for each tea. I’m still drinking them, just not writing tasting notes each time!

I’m always in search of: Hattialli, Qu Hao black, Jin Jun Mei, teas using marshmallow root.

My dislikes: hibiscus, ginger (unless in chai), turmeric, bee pollen, charcoal type flavors

My ratings:
95-100 – Super awesome deliciousness favorites – cupboard essential
80-95 – Also pretty delicious
65-80 – Pretty good
50-65 – Okay
1-50 – Probably won’t want to sip it again

I’m planning on being a Steepsterer as long as there IS a Steepster, so if you’re not hearing from me, that means something happened to my health… if you know what I mean. (Or as evidenced by the great computer hiatus of 2019, something happened to my computer… I have a dumb phone so can’t access internet on that. As of 12/20/21 my wifi might start getting unreliable.)

Happy sipping!
