Three Friends (Orange, Marshmallow, Chocolate) from Butiki Teas

Sil drank Three Friends (Orange, Marshmallow, Chocolate) by Butiki Teas

Backlogging from last night.

I’m not sure how I feel about this one anymore. It seems to be pretty hit or miss each time I brew it. Sometimes it’s a smooth wonderful delicious blending of chocolate and orange and then the next it will have this weird aftertaste to it that just makes me not want to finish drinking it. I haven’t yet figure out if it’s how I’m brewing it or what, so if anyone has any suggestions feel free to comment! I want very much to love this a lot because not only is it a damn pretty tea but it’s got one of my favourite flavour combos going on. Dropping the rating until i figure out what’s wrong with it or what i’m doing wrong.

Do you have enough of this for me to have a sample? It’s on my potential-order list, but if you’re not a huge fan it would be great to try it first!

Should be doable.

Hmmm, I think it might be the leafing. We put the serving suggestion pretty much at the max at 1/2 level tablespoon per 8oz water. Anything over that tastes kind of off to me. 1 level teaspoon also works for 8oz of water. I think this tea is a bit picky with the amount of tea used.

Ok. Thanks Stacy :) I’ll keep playing….I REALLY love these flavours and it smells divine!!

No problem. Also, you may want to try it at 195F degree water temp to see if that makes a difference. Good luck!

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.
