I’ve had this a few times now and i’m just not feeling it. Very mild flavour and it comes across as a mostly black, buttery? fat like? tea.

Do you think that fat-like note would come from the base or a flavouring component? Mind you, I’ve yet to run across a buttery straight black tea.

Sil

the component… large chunks of fatty substance…assuming the cardamom butter

Fjellrev

Oh god, duh. That makes sense. I just wasn’t picturing chunks of that kind of stuff in this.

The large white pieces are actually freeze-dried Asian pear. The butter flavor component is from the base and a natural butter emulsion.

lauren – thanks for clarifying! the pieces always melt in my mug, so i always think that’s where it’s coming from heh

So no real clue what to write about myself here. A friend got me into drinking loose tea and it’s something I thoroughly enjoy though I have nowhere near the experience that many folks on the boards seem to have.

My other interests are cycling, reading, board games, disney cruises, world of warcraft and dancing – in no particular order. I love travelling as well!

Most of that is on hold these days though, including tea drinking like I used to as I have a new little one who eats up all my spare time.
