I have frightfully little left of this so I’m now hoarding it and drawing out the steep as long as possible when I do have it. This time I managed to resteep it over three days with +10 infusions (tea necromancy). It was so good in a way that no one else whom I describe it to finds appealing (no super floral/violet fans in my life).

Resteep Count: 12

Flavors: Berries, Butter, Candy, Creamy, Floral, Mineral, Smooth, Sugarcane, Vegetal, Violet

Preparation
185 °F / 85 °C 1 min, 30 sec

This is officially a favorite and something I want to be a staple. Clearly, a few other people get it in bulk and make it their staple too because it keeps selling out. It is no wonder, though, because the tea is that good. I guess everyone wants to commit cremes. It’s pretty flexible under my tumbler, and less is more with the approach. It can actually gong fu, but western serves it well. I know the jin xuan is flavored too, but there are natural florals that blend seamlessly with the violet, and it’s not an overly spinachy base either.

I’m not sure what to rate it since I’d almost do a hundred, but I’m doing 95….for now. My friends have also deeply enjoyed it. It’s really more of an late eventing tea, but I can drink it any time.

Roswell Strange

Earlier this year my friend Marika bought them out of it entirely – it’s definitely a favourite of us both.

Mastress Alita

It’s always been sold out any time I’ve checked the site…

Daylon R Thomas

How many grams? I got 2 2 oz to have some lol

Roswell Strange

I think she bought something like 400g of it

Crowkettle

One day it will be available again and that’s when I shall try this company. One day.

Daylon R Thomas

I joined the mailing list to get it. I stalked the website for a month until it restocked.

Daylon R Thomas

I feel your pain…

Crowkettle

Is this a Whispering Pines level of desperation?

Thanks for tip about the mailing list :|

Daylon R Thomas

Close. Brutaliteas is not as expensive or snobby as Whispering Pines, but I had that level of Desperation as I did for frickin’ Rivendell. There are good teas for the bases though. This is actually not an expensive tea at all-like $13 for 2 oz, and Evoolong is actually a really good pure Jade Oolong.

Crowkettle

I’ve made peace with never drinking Rivendell again… But I want to partake in Voilet Cremes with all of you :P

Leafhopper

I’d ask for a small sample of this in our swap, but you’re probably hoarding it. :P

Daylon R Thomas

I’ll put it in. Luckily, I got 4 oz worth in two bags, so it will be easy to share.

Leafhopper

Thanks! :)

Tiffany :)

I too am stalking the site for this one to place my first order with this company.. someday y’all we will all get to try this!! :D

Crowkettle

There may be some available right now, fyi! ;)

I’m not sure I can order any in time because shipping to Canada is iffy apparently (I should’ve inquired directly sooner, I guess), but the rest of you should go for it!

Daylon R Thomas

Damn that went fast.

Crowkettle

Reached out to them and sounds like there’s more coming in a few weeks. Trying this once and for all is now my tea priority, haha.

Leafhopper

If those Violet Cremes are as good as they smell, getting them is indeed a good tea priority. :) You’ll have to let us know what shipping is like to Canada.

Daylon R Thomas

Have you tried the amount I’ve sent yet? I may have repacked it yet, but I don’t remember.

Leafhopper

No, I haven’t tried it, though it smells lovely. I’m focusing on the teas I’m putting into my swap boxes so I can finally send them out. You’re getting two Baozhongs that I think you’ll enjoy. :)

Crowkettle

Yes! I’m curious to see what you think when you eventually get around to trying it, Leafhopper :)

Mastress Alita

I was one of the peeps that decided to snag some thanks to the restock announcement, so thank you!

In a moment of great restraint Marika managed to only serve one oolong tea during yesterday evening – not that I think any of us would have minded otherwise. The one she picked was just perfection though! I know this has basically become her favourite tea of the year, and I have to admit that it ranks pretty highly on my list too. It’s so delicately flavoured but with perfect silky notes of milk oolong with violets. It was such a relaxing and peaceful tea to end the evening on and I’m so glad she chose it!

DrowningMySorrows

Oooh, I must have missed this one when I glanced over the Brutaliteas selection! I love violet things!

Tiffany :)

I have been waiting for this tea to be back in stock in their website so I can place my first Brutaliteas order. I probably should just contact them directly to get an ETA on this LOL. I am really excited to try this one. :)

This was initially released as a teaser in Brutaliteas advent calendar last year, which sadly sold out before I could purchase it. So, I was delighted to see it finally available for purchase, and snatched it up as soon as it was listed. This tea was made for me. Milk oolong and violet? Two of my favorite things.
It tastes exactly as I had hoped. The milky flavor is most dominant, with the light sweetness of the violet complimenting the milkiness perfectly. The violet flavoring used is perfect- just like Choward violet mints.
