Emily M drank Watermelon Xylophone by Butiki Teas

So, I think I like this one a lot, and I did taste the watermelon (yay!). Unfortunately, my cold has progressed to the point where I am so congested that I can’t taste or smell really well. Therefore I am saving the rating for when I can properly taste/smell this tea. I have some high hopes for this one!

Until I can taste and smell again, I’ll just be drinking some of my lesser liked teas so I can free some tins up. Got quite a few orders on the way!

Profile

Bio

Started brewing loose leaf tea about two years ago, so I’m still relatively new to the scene. Excited to share my experiences and learn more from everyone on here!

I’ve found I Prefer:

Oolong Teas
White Teas
Flavored White Teas
Flavored Black Teas (depending on the base tea)
Flavored Oolong Teas
Pu-erh’s
Certain Herbals/Tisanes

I’ve found I Dislike:

Bitterness/Astringent Teas
Strong Floral Teas

Green Teas, Matcha, and Rooibos teas tend to be hit or miss with me. I guess it depends on the tea and my mood that day.

That being said, I’ll give anything a shot!

When I’m not brewing/sipping tea, I’m usually reading, listening to music, studying for classes, or in the summer, kayaking/camping/hiking! I also enjoy a good movie now and then. I’ve got quite the collection going. It almost rivals my tea collection! ;)

I’m currently searching for a really delicious Milk Oolong! One that does not use any milk flavoring, please. I’ve had a few, but I want to compare what I’ve got with others to see if it gets better! If you think you’ve found it, just send me the name/company and I’ll check it out.

Happy steeping!
