I’m almost at sipdown status for this tea, and although it was absolutely my first Butiki love (I distinctly remember waking up in the middle of the night craving this), it’s tasting a bit bitter in my travel mug at work, although that’s only true for the last few sips of it—and I think that can be said about getting the bottom of the tea in many a travel mug—things just “settle” there so to speak and the last few sips often don’t mirror the rest of the tea. I was surprised at how well this one fared, especially because I’m always afraid of scent contamination with these silly silacone lids (seriously, not even denture tablets are doing the trick for me—someone help!). I also really liked that this particular brew allowed me to taste the white tea base against the cantaloupe, which is different from my past experiences with this tea.

I’m not yet sure if I’ll reorder this one right away, or wait until I’ve exhausted my love affairs with other melon teas and then come back to this with my tail between my legs.

Well, it’s been slightly over six months since I’ve joined steepster, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about this community. Like many of you, I began my foray into the world of loose-leaf tea by discovering David’s Tea, and although I’ve ventured out and have discovered many other companies that I’m extremely fond of, there are still many of David’s teas that I hold close to my heart and I will always appreciate it as a starting point for my journey.

As for my preferences, I tend to prefer bold black tea, flavoured and unflavoured alike, and I almost always take my blacks with cream and sugar. This isn’t to say that I don’t enjoy a good, flavoured white though, and I’m slowly making my way through the incredibly confusing world of oolongs and greens. I am also not a fan of rooibos, although I am starting to suspect green rooibos may be ok, but you know how it is: when you’ve decided you detest a certain ingredient, you’ll notice it everywhere—perhaps even where it doesn’t exist!

Things other than tea: I’m engaged to be married to my best friend, and feel like the richest woman on the planet because of it. I am also a veracious reader, and I also happen to have an obsession with fragrances, and have amassed quite a collection, although it pales in comparison to some collections out there! As a result of this obsession, I also follow several fragrance blogs, and am always up for a chat about scent. I’m also almost completely blind, and this does indeed mean that I come complete with a guide dog, who unlike me, hales from the sunny California campus of Guide dogs for the Blind. I think I’ve rambled on long enough, but if there’s anything you’d like to know or if you just feel like chatting to someone, please don’t hesitate to send me a message.
