2 Tasting Notes

Kyle Carey

The little fuzzy light green bud of this tea have a sweet alfalfa scent to them. They also have a slight floral scent to them.

I’m going to steep this for 4:30 at 185 degrees Fahrenheit.

The liquor turned out a very light golden color and smells very sweet and floral. This tea tasted very grassy at first sip and sweetened up as I drank it. It’s very wet feeling and makes me want to say juicy. The aftertaste sticks around for a while too with this tea. It’s really smooth and sweet, and keeps you wanting to take another drink.

This is an excellent tea and I recommend it to everyone! Butiki never fails to disappoint.
