After my pecan pie tea disaster (tea-saster) I decided I’d rather drink something simple and unflavored, since lately I’ve been disappointed by flavored teas.
Found this one in my sample basket, in retrospect I can now remember requesting it from Stacey as a sample so I could try the base of the Creamy Eggnog tea to see what I’d get out of it.
However, when I pulled this sample out of my basket 10 minutes ago I had not yet recalled that, so I thought to myself “this should be interesting”… Brewed as per the directions on the bag and when I took my first sip I was really impressed with myself because i immediately identified it as the base of Butiki’s eggnog tea which is not something I remembered after almost a year of being Tea Free.
I used to walk around thinking I hated green tea, because I was drinking grocery store tea and no one told me to not use boiling water, therefore to me, green tea was this super gross bitter thing that people OBVIOUSLY only forced themselves to drink because they were told it was some kind of miracle health product.
Now I know better!
This has a mild natural flavor, that I am able to pinpoint as being buttery and light, and not super vegetal, which works for me.
I’m rating it as 76 because I don’t have a lot of plain green teas to compare it to, and I think I prefer a bit more richness to my tea. I definitely see why this was used as the base of my favorite eggnog tea. At the end of the day I still prefer this with a bit of flavor added (in the delicate, natural way that only Butiki seems to be able to pull off)… But one day I will revisit this, after I drink a bunch more green teas so that I have a basis for comparison.
Very glad I got to try this though!
