drank Blueberry Purple Tea by Butiki Teas

mmmmmmmmm! Another winner from Stacy! I am totally digging this today as well. I’m a little sad that I don’t have any sweetner here at work as I think that this would be that much better with just a hint of sweet added. This is not a sweet tea…it’s blueberry…that kind of blueberry that is both sweet and sour. I am really digging this as a blueberry tea.

Butiki Teas

Yay, glad you like it! That one is made up of either 12% or 15% (can’t quite remember which one it was) of crushed freeze-dried blueberries. I think it tastes like blueberry muffins with a touch of sweetener.

I need to try this based purely on how pretty it is.

Sil

I have a cold brew waiting for me at home of this one, just for fun :)

OMG. THISTHIS is a wonderful tea! Seriously in contention with my other favourite blacks (Laoshan Black from verdant and Zhen Qu from Butiki). I could not get enough of this this morning…now that it’s gone i just wish there was more. Thankfully I have a bunch to drink through so a new order is not quite yet ready for me and stacy. heh I really need to get through a few more of the tea i recently (and not so recently) purchased from her. but this one…it’s wonderful!

Backlogging!

So this tea? It’s pretty delicious, but it’s too sweet for me. It really is like a cup of maple syrup, dilluted down a bit. I also sometimes wish Della Terra would get rid of the colourful candy bits they put into their teas. They often don’t add to the flavour and just mess up my brewing baskets.

If you enjoy maple syrup and sweet teas though, this is a good tea. Just a bit much for me :)

mmmmm this is a delicious tea! It won’t become a regular in my cupboard, but i may treat myself to the occasional sample from time to time. :) Really nice tea that I had the pleasure of running through a number of steepings on the weekend.

Backlogging! Had this in smoothie form and immediately regreted it lol. Don’t get my wrong, it’s a tasty matcha but it’s one of those flavours that I will always want to drink hot. Cold just isn’t happening :)

I feel there is likely to be a flurry of these now that steepster is up and running. it’s funny to me how dependant i am on being able to get my thoughts down asap. heh

In some ways i’m greatful for the excuse to try this again soon since steepster was down. I had this in latte form on the weekend and it was DELICIOUS!

First Review? Backlogging from the weekend so I’ll be posting another of these again. What i recall from this tea though, that it was a nice fruity tea blend. I would also really like to try this cold sometime :)

drank Orange Brulee by Della Terra Teas

This tea goes by another name now on della terra’s website – orange brulee. THIS is more of what i expected from the orange blossom oolong that i had before this tea. Not a bad little tea. I’ll be reviewing this again though since with the steepster outage i was terrible at taking notes down.

Nik

I’m even worse: you didn’t take notes whilst tasting notes were down, but I didn’t drink tea! Eep!

Sil

Bad Nik! Bad!

Backlogging so my apologies for the crappy tea notes.

I was not impressed with this tea. It was bland, unexciting and tasted a lot like mildly flavoured water. I’ll try this again especially as I forgot to write down my impressions at the time.

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.
