Mmm, I still have a bit of this from last year. Only maybe one more cup left. I made this iced yesterday and made it quite strong. Very refreshing and delicious! Mostly I am getting just pineapple notes today.
I will certainly be picking more of this up this year. Hopefully they didn’t change it

Cold brew experimenting turned out really well today.
I paired together peppermint amour and lemon myrtle from DAVIDsTEA.
Very refreshing on a nice spring day!

Mmm, this tea is so sweet and caramel tasting with those delicious coconut notes. A great treat!
See previous notes.

I ordered this a long time ago and it got pushed to the back of my tea cupboard. Well, here we go, now I’m trying it!
I steeped it for 10 minutes hoping to bring out some spectacular strawberry flavour.
The strawberry flavour isn’t near as strong as I thought it would be. I am getting creamy notes.
This tea is much better iced than hot, and I am thinking that a cold brew might bring out the strawberry flavour a bit more, I will try that next time.

I needed a gong-fu tea tasting today, so I tried it with this tea. I followed Teavivre’s parameters:7 steeps: rinse,25s,35s,45s,55s,65s,75s,85s.

I found this green oolong to be buttery, slightly vegetal but not overpowering. I found it fruity and slightly sweet, just as the description states.

Overall, I am glad that I ordered a sample of this tea and ejoyed it.

I love coconut, so this tea is right up my alley. It is creamy, smooth, and coconutty with that oolong base coming through as buttery.
It also smells delicious!

I made this iced today and made a tea smoothie. How refreshing! The peach notes are definitely shining through here today.
Smoothie: iced tea, banana, frozen mango, low fat vanilla yogurt

I have had this sample for a long time and just getting around to it now!
I used the whole sample package for my cup. This tea smells amazingly sweet and like a fresh meadow with flowers and honeybees.
The taste is very smooth, sweet, mostly floral with just a tinge of vegetal notes.
Resteep: boiling, 3min. The sweetness has really decreased and more of the TGY vegetal notes are coming through. This is wonderful and delicious.

I am really enjoying this tea. I love how oolongs taste so creamy and smooth, but aren’t “heavy” if ya know what I mean. Like a special treat.

Sipdown!
I finished this one off with a cold brew. This is very refreshing, I didn’t add any sweetener and I didn’t find that it needed it. The slight tartness is what makes it so refreshing I think.
I might have to stock up on this for the summer!

I LOVE this tea! It is so sweet and smooth with that silky mouthfeel. And it so gorgeous to watch those little pearls unfurl. Delicious!
I still have to compare these to the superfine downy pearls which I have not even tried yet. I just have SO many teas that are getting old that I need to sipdown.

I haven’t had this one in a really long time. It’s getting old so I guess I should hurry up and finish the bag.
Tonight, I am mostly getting nutty and coconut notes. More nutty than usual I would say. I like it!

SIPDOWN!
I am having my last cuppa of this gem of a tea. Smooth chocolate, coconut dessert in a cup. A great way to end the day.

No caffeine today. So I am enjoying this smooth, sweet, buttery cinnamon tea. Very comforting and it feels really good on my scratchy throat.
Hopefully I can get over this scratchy throat before it turns into a full-blown cold!

I have decided that I deserve and tea an treat morning! This smooth malty Assam paired with a dark chocolate cookie. The flavours of the cookie really bring out the sweetness and chocolate notes in this lovely Assam!
I don’t think this is available anymore from Butiki, but I will certainly enjoy my remaining package.

Mmmm. Having a morning snack of this tea paired with a whole wheat chocolate strawberry muffin. Delicious! Off to a great start to the day
See previous notes!

Just what I needed this morning to kick start my day! I needed something creamy and smooth. And delicious as usual

This was actually pretty good. For some reason, I had some idea that I wasn’t going to like this one.
As others have mentioned, it is not great warm, but I wasn’t really expecting it to because who drinks warm root beer anyway?
I thought it was smooth, the black base came through. And I thought it was sweet enough to be good

I ordered this awhile ago, but just getting around to trying it now. I love these honeybush blends from 52teas.

This one is no exception, creamy, sweet, with lots of coconut. I only get a tiny bit of tangy cheesecake in the aftertaste, but I am thinking it might come out a little more with a longer steep, I will have to try that next time.

I gotta try this as a cold brew too! Now, if only it would warm up around here so I felt like drinking cold tea.

Yum, just what I needed this morning for my sore throat. Light pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg. It doesn’t disappoint.

What the heck, I swear I have reviewed this one before. And considering that my bag is almost gone, I have definitely drank it quite a few times. Oh well.

I love mint, so I figured I would like this one. I mostly get apple notes with mint coming to the forefront. It seems an odd combination to add coconut, but it actually works here. The creamy coconut is in the background, but it is definitely there. Delicious! Hopefully I can pick up some more before it disappears.

As others have mentioned, the bergamot is pretty strong. But, for a decaf, it is pretty good. Not my fav Earl Grey by any means. But sometimes, I just want an Earl Grey black, but decaf, this will serve this purpose!

I haven’t had this tea in forever. And it is getting old. It still tastes good though. With a splash of milk, this is creamy and smooth, sweet chocolate and coconut. Just what I needed tonight.

Aroma is very creamy vanilla

1st steep: creamy, vanilla with floral notes. Nice and smooth green oolong. I wasn’t expecting to like this blend this much. It caught me off guard a little bit. Very relaxing and it feels like you are indulging in a sweet treat!

2nd steep: 5minutes. Still creamy and dreamy, just slightly lighter tasting.

Backlogging from yesterday.

This short steep time is definitely the way to go. I didn’t get any bitterness this time, and the creamy taste comes through more.

The water was boiled and then I got distracted, so it had a little bit of time to cool, so that probably helped too.

Yum, I might have to order this on my next 52teas order. Increasing the rating
