KittyLovesTea drank Cantaloupe & Cream by Butiki Teas

Break at work (which today I am working from home) and I have been dreaming about this tea after hearing such good things about it.

Firstly the raw tea looks like something out of a garden, long green reeds with yellow flowers, yet it smells like melon. It’s as though these flowers are magical and come from Neverland.

For the purposes of my first test I have not added any sugar/sweetener.

Colour: Golden yellow
Smell: Exactly like melon

This tea does not disappoint, not only does it smell like melon but it tastes like melon and if I had not known the ingredients I would have thought that this tea is prepared by pouring hot water over a slice of melon. I cannot detect any bitterness or anything that tastes out of place and the more you drink the sweeter the melon becomes.

Another important aspect for me to mention is that the melon tastes natural and not synthetic in any way. I have been trying to taste everything in this tea but I can honestly only taste melon and my head cannot get past that. Melon is my second favourite all time food so for me this literally is heaven in a cup.

Oh, I’m so glad you love this one! Isn’t it absolutely amazing?! Did you pick up some of the Watermelon Xylophone too? If not, I think I could pass a cup’s worth on to you.

Also, this one re-steeps VERY well!

It truly is amazing, I don’t think it could be improved! I do have the Watermelon Xylophone as well just not had the opportunity to try it yet. :)

Profile

Bio

I am 25 years old from Leicester, England. I have been drinking tea for many years now and have been getting more and more appreciative about good tea’s. I like to try new and exciting tea’s and import regularly as a treat.

Tea wise my cravings change constantly from pu erh one month to jasmine green to the next and so on.

I adore cats and have four of my own called Honey, Cassie, Ebony and Ivory.

I also have three fish tanks which thankfully my cats have no interest in. They house an array of tropical fish.

I am a proud vegetarian and have been for the majority of my life. When I say vegetarian I mean just that as well, no fish or seafood, no chicken now and again, no animal products such as gelatine and cochineal.

I am always up for tea swaps so if you see anything in my virtual cupboard then please contact me.

I am also an avid reader and enjoy curling up with a book (mostly crime, horror, thriller, literature genres) in one hand and a cup of tea in the other.

I make gothic and alternative fashion jewellery and sell on eBay for a living. Jewellery making is an art that has been passed down from my mother. I have also just started to sell wire art and wire wrapped gemstone jewellery all handmade by yours truly.

I also work for a family based company that specialises in gemstone jewellery, essential oils, rare Andara pieces and lots more. http://angelleesadesigns.com/
