Thank you so much for a surprise sample of this one, TheLastDodo! It’s one I haven’t tried and I really wanted to. :D There seemed to be about a tablespoon remaining, hard to judge with these long leaves. Plenty of pumpkin flakes in the bottom of the pouch – yum yum (made sure to cut the pouch open to get at all the flakes). This is a superb cup. The white tea are those long fuzzy sickles. I was worried that the 3 1/2 minute steep would ruin the white tea, but not at all. I’m not sure I can specifically distinguish the butterscotch and the coffee but the pumpkin is there. I can describe the flavor as buttery but then I realized “butter” is in “butterscotch”! The brew color is pale yet cloudy, probably from all those pumpkin flakes. Very sweet and could easily be a dessert in itself! The second steep is delicious as well, maybe getting slight hints of coffee when it cools. Not many pumpkin blends can beat Butiki – actual pumpkin flakes. Another amazing Butiki blend.
