drank Tamarind Pop by Butiki Teas
1443 tasting notes

I don’t know what a tamarind is, but I expected some sort of fruity concoction, which made me a little wary. I have to say, I’m pleasantly surprised. This tea is actually caramel-y, sweetened caramel actually. And very smooth. With a extremely subtle tangy quality. But true to Butiki style, very natural and therefore the sweetness isn’t bothering me. I’m not really sure what else to say about this one. If you haven’t tried it, you should!

This is another sample sipdown!

Tamarind is a legume, however it’s kind of pulpy and sweet like an orange-y, tart fig. It’s a staple in making Pad Thai, as well as Worchestershire and HP sauce.

Wow.. I’m getting an education tonight! I didn’t know what Tamarind was either. I’ve had a few Thai dishes, even made a couple, but this ingredient is new to me.

I actually liked this one too, and it is on my pending order with Butiki. It’s a subtle tea, I think, but I do like it. I’m curious about cold brewing this one in the summer…

What an excellent idea Amariel. I am contemplating putting it on my rotation list for Butiki. I don’t think I need it all the time, but it would be nice occasionally.

It’s something I had a little of, but wanted to play with more when spring came around.

This one would make an excellent tea soda, based on the fact that tamarind sodas are popular in certain parts of the world :) I’m a fan of this tea!

Courtney

Good idea Stephanie!

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos (green preferable to red), herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens (mango or pineapple, yum!).

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it (Camellia Sinensis Earl Grey Cream is one of my favourites).

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan with an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I usually just pick them out of blends).
