From Butiki Teas

Creamy Eggnog is part of our holiday series that encompasses a number of holidays from different religions. Many people might not think of eggnog as their number one choice for a Christmas flavor but Eggnog is particularly important in my family’s tradition of celebrating Christmas. Eggnog always marked the beginning of the Christmas season and was the last thing we would drink before we would try to go to sleep Christmas Eve. As a child, getting any sleep Christmas Eve would have been a miracle. There was always so much excitement and anticipation building. Creamy Eggnog pairs our buttery Organic Huangshan Mao Feng with a rich creamy eggnog flavor. The tea and flavor work well with each other and neither overshadows the other. This tea is sweet with a heavy cream and eggy quality. Add a little brown crystal sugar and the tea becomes extremely creamy, rich, and very much like eggnog. Some vanilla notes become pronounced and so do the egg notes. We added safflower for a touch of red for a festive Christmas colored tea.

Ingredients: Organic Chinese Tea, Safflower, Organic Natural Flavoring

Recommended Brew Time: 4 minutes
Recommended Amount: 2 teaspoons of tea for 8oz of water
Recommended Temperature: 180 F

Tried this one with a little crystal sugar this morning, and I believe it did enhance the creaminess. I think on the whole I prefer it plain, but I’d have to try another plain cup to be totally sure. Either way, it was deliciously creamy, vanilla wonderfulness. Everything I said in my previous note stands.

How come some teas always taste the best when you’re on your last cup of it? I swear this last cup is creamier than the last however cups I had. That is why I initially gave it a 74 because it wasn’t as creamy or flavourful as I wanted it to be. Granted, I still wish it had some sort of nutmeg aspect to truly reflect its name, but still, this last cup is noticeably better than the others. Perhaps the dust on the bottom gave this last cup a true flavour jolt?

Superb sip down, this was.

Kittenna

NOM NOM. I want some of this badly now. But it’s late and last time I drank tons of caffeinated teas before bed, my heart was racing and I couldn’t sleep ; ; #firstworldproblems

Fjellrev

Haha OMG. I luckily don’t have that problem, but I know I’d definitely be getting up all night running to the washroom.

Kittenna

I don’t usually… but insomnia sucks, and I’d rather avoid it. Brewed up some random herbals instead, haha.

This is one of the teas Kaylee kindly sent to me in her Secret Pumpkin. It was on my wishlist.

Very interesting green tea for a base. The leaves were shaped like pine needles, and I thought they were actually white tea leaves before I drank my cup. I also liked the little red flower petals added for decoration and contrast.

The dry leaf smells uncannily like eggnog. Yummmm. Ready for Christmas even though Halloween is only three days away!

I couldn’t taste any eggnog, though, just the base tea, which is buttery and rich in flavor. Well, it allowed me to see why this particular tea was chosen.

Thank you again, Kaylee!

Too bad you couldn’t taste the eggnog because Stacy does that so well.

KiwiDelight

Maybe it was my taste buds. So odd.

I might have to try this one again. Maybe I didn’t use enough tea? In any case, I expected a rich creamy taste but got kind of a generic lightly vanilla one :<

Creamy coconut taste, and naturally sweet. I brewed a cup in the morning to take to work and was happily met with the warm smell of vanilla upon opening my thermos. Really pleasant tea for any time of the day.

I hate eggnog, but this blend grew on me over time. It’s all creamy vanilla as long as I don’t add sugar. The slightest sweetness and it gets all eggy on me. I’ve tried cold brewing the second steep but it took on a bitter note that I didn’t like. Maybe I’ll try a cold brew from scratch one of these days before I run out of leaf. It’s unlikely, though. This is a good flavor for cold weather and the last thing I’m in the mood for in this freezing cold is iced tea.

I’m going to miss Butiki, but this tea I can do without. DavidsTea’s Vanilla Orchid is very similar and I like that one better because I don’t have to worry about any egginess creeping in.

Wow, this tea is gooood. This tea does not need an introduction, it speaks for itself:P It is just creamy, buttery, eggnogy goodness. Ohhh la la, so good. It tastes mostly of eggnog and the flavor of the green tea really hides in the background without giving off the slightest bit of vegetal taste. Yum. .

Creamy yumminess.

I’m in the middle of a stressful move and this is a great comfort tea. Problem is it’s so comforting it’s making me sleepy!

I always have a tricky time measuring this one cause the leaves are so long they don’t fit into a teaspoon. I have a scale now but I don’t know how many grams I should be using.

The one thing that’s missing from from this eggnog is spices! It’s creamy and eggy with some vanilla but no spice. I’d really like to try the nutmeg side by side. I don’t mind the lack of spice but it isn’t what I expect from an eggnog tea.

Wow.

This tea is creeamy, eggnoggy goodness.

Dry, it smells amazing. While steeping, delicious. After my timer goes off and I take that first sip….OUT OF THIS WORLD YUMMY

It is truly the creamy eggnog of the name, comforting, enveloping, deliciousness.

And I really needed it today.

On the way into the office, I was involved in a car accident. I was not at fault in the least, but my car is damaged, and is now sitting at a body shop. The girl who hit me, her car is much worse off than mine, and I’m pretty sure she got a ticket. Today was a beautiful day, and apparently this means people get into lots of wrecks on the interstates. Because there were no injuries, we were at the bottom of the list for the police to come write a report. (I needed that report for my insurance.) I spent over two hours this morning waiting on the side of the freeway with cars just whizzing past at high rates of speed. I’m glad everyone was okay.

But this meant that I didn’t get to drink more tea until mid afternoon. I am glad I picked this one. Thank you so much, lolainred for sharing this with me.

I almost forgot. This does one resteep well, slightly less eggnoggy but still good. The second resteep is the nice green base.

Glad you are OK! I love this tea, too :)

lolainred

glad you were not hurt!

KiwiDelight

What an ordeal! D: Thank goodness nobody was hurt.

yyz

Glad your okay.

Cheri

Thanks, everyone. I’m really glad that no one was hurt, too. It’s just been a long day, and not nearly enough tea was drunk.

carol who

Sorry to hear his happened but the big question… did you have any tea with you :-D

Cheri

Hahah! I’d finished my iced matcha latte and I had a bunch of loose leaf with me, but nothing I could drink.

TheTeaFairy

Sorry for the accident, so glad you weren’t injured…

Arshness

Oh wow now I want to try that. Going to have to look it up.
Eggnog is one of my guilty pleasures every Winter.

Arshness

And wow sorry about your accident :c That sucks. I would have been a nervous wreck sitting on the side of the highway that long. >_< At least you had a nice tea to make your day better afterwards!

Continuing on with holiday teas today. I found this one in the box from CelebriTEA. I have to tell you this one brings back a flood of memories. I would never touch eggnog as a kid. It looked and sounded gross. My grandmother loved it. She added nutmeg and some form of alcohol to her recipe. It is the only time I ever saw her drink – She remained a lady. My Nana had a silver aluminum Christmas tree that looked like a painted broom stick with shiny sticks poking out everywhere. You didn’t hang lights on the tree, just a few bulbs. The tree rotated on its base. There was a lighted colored wheel that you pointed at the tree that rotated and made the sparkling tree change colors. Though I have never tasted eggnog, this tea reminded me of all those years at grandma’s house for Christmas with the family. We were poor but we still exchanged gifts and ate until it hurt. Then we would spend the rest of the evening telling stories and laughing.

As for the tea itself – bravo! Not only is it creamy and egg like, I can taste the Mao Feng and it is really good. What restraint to not over flavor this one. Truly an excellent job! Thanks for the holiday memories.

keychange

I love it when people share memories in their tasting notes. It really brings tea to life.

Cheri

I agree! I love it when a tea brings back a memory like that.

mrmopar

Poor people are never poor as the riches of a family is the best thing in life.

gmathis

Oh! The aluminum tree! One at my grandparents’ house, too, along with a very rectangular couch with itchy metallic thread in the upholstery and a funky, glittery plastic upholstered picture. And aluminum glasses for iced tea that sweated and made your teeth clank when you took a drink! (No, I’m not feeling nostalgic, not at all…)

K S

Oh yes! My grandmother had the red, green, and blue aluminum glasses. Awesome. Granddad used a green plastic tupperware cup he drank iced tea from. Yeah just like Si.
