Wow, I actually get to be the first to write a tasting note on this tea?! Rad!
Waffles?! Seriously?! How do you get waffles into tea?! I clearly taste waffles in this tea! My mind is a little blown. At the beginning of the sip I get waffles. It isn’t until the aftertaste that I’m picking up on the raspberry, but I can’t pick out the chocolate. Maybe it is blending in to create a base note type flavor. This is all without sugar. When I add sugar, it changes a bit. I get raspberry first, then the waffle joins and finally I get the chocolate mingling with the fruit. Adding cream changes it again! I get a slight tartness like what raspberries have with almost a grassy edge, but it’s like the tartness without the flavor I was getting before. The chocolate is muted again, coming out at the back of the sip right behind the waffle that also peeks through at the end. This tea is such a trip! I’m loving the decaf aspect since I desperately want to drink tea in the evening, but sleep is a pretty important thing in my life too. This tea is really well done. Even the Butiki teas that I have tried that I wasn’t wowed by were really well crafted and balanced.
If you can, give this tea a go before it’s gone!

I drank this one tonight too. I will have to try sweetening it next time! :)
Oh my word-I forget how much I love the word rad! No one ever uses it anymore…that one needs to come back around :P
…I misread “Adding cream changes” as “Adding cream cheese” and I was so SO CONFUSED
…and a little impressed by your ingenuity.
I haven’t used the word rad in a long time, it just kinda came out. I bet it is going to make a comeback soon.
Ha! Now I’ll have to try cream cheese in my next cup! I love misreading things.
