Buttered Cinnamon Raisin Toast Flavored Black Tea from 52teas

Ewa drank Buttered Cinnamon Raisin Toast Flavored Black Tea by 52teas

Mmm, such a nice morning tea when I’m not rushing around. I don’t really eat breakfast as such most days, and well, today I woke up at 11, so I may as well wait an hour and just have lunch. This tea screams “breakfast” so much, though, that I really feel as if I HAVE had some.

It’s a little more buttery today than the first time I tried it, which was freaking me out a bit at first, but I’ve gotten used it now. The raisin is stronger as well, I think. The only problem I have with this tea is that it does leave me feeling a bit thirsty – kind of like I need to rinse out the butter taste from my mouth, but I guess that’s just going to happen with a tea this substantial.

I LOVE THE NAME OF THIS TEA!

Oh yeah, that is seriously, like 80% of the reason I ordered it.

I had someone ask me how she should abbreviate the name to fit it on her blog. I told her I had no idea how you could shorten it. The tea is every bit of each of the words in its title.

hahah impossible to abreveate this, plus this title is too perfect, not many titles can describe an aroma, this one can.

You could abbreviate it by calling it: “Super Tasty Breakfasty Tea of Many Tastes”!

Wait, that’s not shorter at all.

You could drop “flavored black”… a lot of flavored blacks just go by the flavor- black is kinda understood as the default if not stated.

Bio

I’m a Pole who grew up in Texas, is currently a graduate student in California studying Japan. How’s THAT for random?

Being Polish, my family has always drunk a lot of tea, and I am no different. I may drink more tea than water. On the other hand, I can’t say that I’m very particular about it; I’m generally pretty careless with steeping times and water temperature and I don’t even have a proper teapot (mostly because the lid broke during the move to California ;_;).

I always drink my tea unsweetened and I only add milk in the case of the most egregiously chai-ish of chais. (not really a big fan of milk in general)

Given that so many of my entries seem to be about my morning tea, I felt I should add something here about me and mornings: I fail at mornings. I fail at them a LOT. Therefore I often also fail at proper tea making in the mornings.
