So I snuck in a teaware review this morning before work but I’ve got a whole bunch of tasting notes to log as well; I didn’t do much logging over the weekend and yesterday because I spent Sunday at Barcraft with Tyrell (and then the rest of the evening drunkish), and then all Monday my brother and Dad were in town for his Birthday – and then on top of that our internet was also down for the bulk of the weekend too.
So Barcraft was pretty fun; even though I didn’t understand virtually any of what was going on game wise I thought the bar was really nice and I liked spending time with Tyrell – besides alcohol makes everything better, and they had good bar food too. The most interesting thing, I guess, would be meeting a whole bunch of his friends. Like, I know Lucas/Gwyn from DT but these people were all strangers to me. They were definitely nice though, and welcoming enough given I bet they knew next to nothing about me. Pretty much your typical gamer/sports guys in Uni; there were dick jokes, and playful insults between one another but nothing I wasn’t unfamiliar with or whatever. Afterall, I live with a guy (same “type” of guy as well), and growing up the vast majority of my friends were guys. I think I got their seal of approval?
And then after the finals we decided to go out for icecream (my treat since he picked up my bar tab, which was definitely significantly higher than the cost of the icecream). I couldn’t resist going for the weirdest flavour there (much to Tyrell’s disgust) which happened to be Pineapple Carrot Bran Muffin. I got it in milkshake format and I have to say it was pretty fucking delicious. Now I’m not gonna deny, a good part of why I thought that could be because I was a bit drunk – but I think that overall it was just a good milkshake. I’d love to see a Butiki tea version…
And then I got home to no internet and promptly watched Casanova while drunk and made myself tea! Mostly caffeine free stuff, because water consumption and a lack of caffeine while drunk is good for offsetting hangovers, and also because I just wanted tea. That involved trying this one for the first time! I bought a bunch of it in my most recent Butiki order despite never trying it just because of how much VariaTEA loves it. I figured it was a safe enough gamble because if I didn’t like it I could just pass it on to her.
Except, I do like it! So, it’s all mine. Mwah. Ha. Ha.
Basically it was super rich but still quite soft and airy with an amazing vanilla flavour and strikingly accurate sponge cake vibe to it. This is totally going to be a cupboard staple because it’s one of few herbals that I own which isn’t a fruit based blend for cold brewing! Mmm! I instantly wanted another cup of this after finishing it, but I was feeling really, really full so I passed on it. But definitely gonna have this one again, and soon!
Flavors: Cake, Cream, Powdered Sugar, Vanilla
I really enjoy your tasting notes.
So I didn’t see this until now but it makes me super happy that you’re a fan :P
Totes Mcgoats!
