drank Spiced Nog by Butiki Teas
111 tasting notes

Trying to catch up on tasting notes for the past few days! This is such a unique tea. It’s a very pale color when steeped, just the barest hint of yellow-green, and it smells delicious. Really creamy with a warm touch of nutmeg. The taste of the tea is buttery and rich, with lots of egg/cream notes. (I don’t quite taste any vanilla from it, per se, but that may just be me?) It’s very smooth, with a natural sweetness that evokes the flavor of eggnog.

The nutmeg is present, but I would say it’s subtle. All the flavors are balanced, and I can taste the green tea base, too—it’s vegetal and buttery and complements the egg note well. I don’t know how different this tea is from Creamy Eggnog, but I love this version! I’m looking forward to drinking it during the holidays.

Bio

I’m a writer who drinks tea to survive the creative process. A few years ago, I discovered the joys of loose leaf, and I’ve been hoarding all kinds of tea ever since!

My favorite teas change by the day. I usually drink them unsweetened, without milk. I like white and green teas, but I tend to prefer black and oolong these days. Rooibos can be hit-or-miss, same with herbals. (I mostly avoid blends with hibiscus, as I find it too tart, and I’m not a huge mint fan.) But I love when I find a good herbal that I can enjoy when I don’t want caffeine. I’m actively searching for tasty blends with chamomile in them.

I enjoy both flavored and straight teas. Some of my favorite flavors are vanilla, spice, apple, orange, chocolate, and peach. I’m obsessed with ginger. Seriously. I’ve been known to add extra ginger to teas that already have absurd amounts of spice in them. You’ve been warned. ;)
