Pumpkin Creme Brulee from Butiki Teas
85

Out of the handful of pumpkin teas I’ve tried this one tastes the most like pumpkin pie. It carries a mushy creaminess, a slightly pungent finish, that makes me think of pumpkin or black tea, and even the sensation of sweet rich whip cream. Are you sure this is vegan?

I don’t get creme brulee as much but it has already succeeded where many other teas have clunked out- creating a convincing pumpkin dessert, both in texture and in taste, without going overboard artificial, and still managing to be tea. Thank you BoxerMama for the sample, and Stacy for all the amazing teas!

Edit: This holds up decently to additional steeping, although the cinnamon is more dominant, and my empty cup has the amazing aroma of nutmeg, cinnamon, and creamy pumpkin.

You got me thinking about all the different kinds of pie out there: lemon meringue, key lime, apple, blueberry, bumbleberry, strawberry & rhubarb, cherry, blackberry, pecan, coconut, savory pies.. Now I want pie too.

Searching through wikipedia’s archive on different kinds of pie has made me realize there are many, many pies still out there that I have yet to try. I think it’s high time I grab lunch.

Sorry about that :) Lemon meringue is my absolute favorite.

I would love to try a true attempt at lemon meringue tea. Good pie to- I haven’t had any in a very long time.

Bio

Tea is what gets me through being a professional procrastinator and an anthropology undergrad student (I’m better at one of those than the other).

I’ve only been exploring the world of tea for little over a year now so I’m still figuring out my preferences and steeping techniques! I can safely say I enjoy a good chai, fruity blends, creamy notes, white tea, and a nice Dragonwell, however. I either love or hate rooibos and chamomile makes me happy.

Besides tea, I like my books and TV series (usually sci-fi/fantasy), music, doodling, and skiing when I get the chance. I respect a good sense of humour and seasoned wisdom, two things I sorely lack. I also thoroughly enjoy birds. I’m a bit of a crazy bird person.

I don’t always respond in a timely fashion but if you see anything in my cupboards that you would like to try give me a shout!

Ratings (self-reminder):
90-100: Wow!
86-89: Great!
76-85: Good.
70-75: Ok.
60-69: Meh..
51-59: Not good.
34-50: Bad.
1-33: No words can describe how awful this is so I’ve resorted to numbers..
