Sil drank Good Morning Sunshine by Butiki Teas

I figure that the reason that Helena loves this so much is because it’s like drinking liquid lemon candy. You know those lemon hard sour candies? Yeah those ones. Had this today to try and chase away some of the rainy day blues from the weather. I really like the intense lemon flavouring. Can’t wait to cold brew this to try it out sometime as well!

Now I’m curious to see how this compares to sTEAp Shoppe’s After Dinner Ginger. Despite the name, that tastes like lemon candy to me. I might have to save the rest of the sample until I’ve ordered some of Butiki’s Good Morning Sunshine so I can compare.

I found if I steep it 6min or less I get a creamy lemon pie from it. If I steep it over I get lemon drop candy taste :D I love the wake up call it gives me and that I can oversteep and it will still taste good :D

I’ll have to try steeping it less than 6 mins. So far it’s always been 6 mins…or more oopsy

well it says six minutes as the timing I’m pretty sure :D but I found playing with the temp a bit and the timings can make a difference :D

Helena 2012-10-29 14:49:23 -0400

Bio

So no real clue what to write about myself here. A friend got me into drinking loose tea and it’s something I thoroughly enjoy though I have nowhere near the experience that many folks on the boards seem to have.

My other interests are cycling, reading, board games, disney cruises, world of warcraft and dancing – in no particular order. I love travelling and am currently working on trying to get my other half to as many place in the world as possible.
