It is going to be impossible to be descriptive when it comes to this tea because all I want to do is repeat “oh my god”.
First off, the dry leaf. I have never seen tea like this but I am sure it’s because I’m new! The leaves are … furry? And the bag smells so nice!
1 tbsp @ 185 F. It smells so good even as the water hits it. I put the lid on quickly so as not to lose anything. You know they say all that good stuff you smell when cooking things (or brewing tea in this case) is actually flavour escaping with the steam. That’s one of the reasons sous vide cooking became so popular, the stuff is trapped in a bag and the bag immersed in water, no flavour escapes there!
This tea is so refreshing, the flavour matches the aroma. You almost want to drink this in the winter when you miss watermelon but there is no fresh watermelon to be had! (for most people anyway).
This is like watermelon water!
You make tomato water by hanging a cheesecloth bag with a concassee of tomato and you let it drip. The water is clear, there is absolutely no colour but the taste is pure tomato. I wonder if you make watermelon water the same way… And then you soak the tea leaves in it and maybe after a few days you dry it out and see what happens. In theory the water evaporates and the flavour remains. I should make my own experiment.
Stacy if you’re laughing, this is my way of thanking you for this tea: with entertainment!
This is the most delicious tea I have ever had so far.

YAY!!!!! butiki teas rock my world :)
The key is natural which Stacy is known for. No sour artificial flavors!
My top fave Butiki blend of all time
When I have a real watermelon around, I like to put chunks of it in the vitamix, wave my magic wand (chopstick) around, push the button, & say, “Liquidate”. It’s my magic word, & it always works! Liquidated watermelon is awesome. This tea is awesome. So beautiful to look at, so delicious to drink. Stacy really outdid herself with this, & I’ll have to order more…soon!
I love fresh pressed watermelon juice, so I ordered this with our recent co-op purchase. Can’t wait to try it.
