You added extra cinnamon and raisins but no butter? Now that is a review I’d love to read=D

i was thinking about adding butter, but then i figured it would be a weird oily film on top, i almost added some coconut pouchong because it is so buttery, but i love it so much i didn’t want to use it if the tweak turned out awful

I love caffeine! I prefer tea to coffee. I prefer my flavors to be in your face, not subtle.
