1113 Tasting Notes
Haaaa, I guess I should have read everyone else’s reviews before I attempted to brew this! I used all 8 balls that were in my sample pack, brewed at 204 like the package said…luckily I only steeped for a couple of minutes ;)
I will definitely get several resteeps today, heh.
This is very nice! Reminds me of Mandala Special Dark without the puerh taste. Very rich and dark and malty! This is definitely one I will restock some day :D
I was craving something green this morning but also probably needed something stronger than this. What I really wish I had was some sencha “extra green” with matcha added, but I’m all out of that! This tastes very nice though and I am running low on it, too.
Very tasty peach tea…but where is the jasmine???
I’ll have to try next time at home where I can more accurately control the temperature and such rather than here at work. Also I might try mixing a few of these pearls with some actual jasmine pearls to try to get the jasmine/peach ratio more what I was expecting.
I’m back in the office today. The roads are still kind of ridiculous. We don’t normally get winter weather this early in the season! grumpy
I must be in the mood for nutty teas today, I brought this one for the morning and banana walnut treat for the afternoon. A bright and warm spot in my day :)
Just opened my FRESH package of this tea from a joint order with BrewTEAlly Sweet Could this be the perfect cinnamon tea? Perhaps…perhaps…
I am up early and working from home today. Thank goodness, since we’re still covered in ice and snow here!
To be honest, I chose this tea this morning because I thought it would pair well with the banana and small pile of Nutella I’m eating for breakfast…and it does! :)
I was EXTREMELY lucky to have been gifted a bit of this tea. Thank you BrewTEAlly Sweet! You’re the best!
I was allowed to go home from work early today due to the winter storm, so I’ve been relaxing with a gongfu session this afternoon http://twitpic.com/dnt1nh
WOW. So smooth…so much honey flavor! Almost a floral honeysuckle but not quite. Also very rich and lightly malty. SO very very good! I’m so happy I got to try it :) :) :)
That cup is gorgeous!
Yay I’m glad you liked it! I would have sent more if I knew you liked it that much:) or at least bought more when it was available. It’s the special budset edition.
Kaylee- the cup is also from Verdant. They have a few left but be warned, it is a TINY cup! http://verdanttea.com/teas/jingdezhen-lotus-and-fish-tea-cup/
Megan- Dude, I have so much tea right now it is ridiculous! So while it is a nice thought I’m kinda glad you didn’t send me more! :)
Ha ha okay good:) and that cup! I almost bought that on black Friday for you… good thing I didn’t… what are the odds?
1 oz capacity! That’s like 2 sips/cup!
Yeah, it’s probably a “tasting cup” :)
Super cute but not very practical for me personally! Though I did use it today!
It’s good for things like the traveling tea boxes! Quick sip downs! Ha ha
lucky steph! i missed out on getting to grab this one..too slow (not that i need more tea) haha
Lovely!
Another comforting Butiki tea to get through my snowy snowy day at work :)
This might be my favorite from the new batch of flavored teas just released…they have all been wonderful though!
Haha intense!
Yay! because I love this tea and just ordered the Special Dark, so I am pretty sure I will love love that one, too!
love these pearls!
Ah! Those leaves must have filled your infuser!
I had FIVE steeps and one to throw in the fridge, lol :)
