Another great tea that JustJames sent me during our swap.
I’ve been drinking this off and on over the last few day, but held off on doing a review because I wasn’t exactly sure how I felt about it. This isn’t my favorite Butiki tea, but I don’t dislike it exactly. I just don’t have any strong feelings for it either way, and that is odd for me.
I thought particular blend went slightly past subtle and straight into weak and it was a little weak for my tastes. It has very lightly done cinnamon and vanilla flavors which lets the almond poke through just a little. What I love is how well done the almond flavoring is, a lot of them come across as completely artificial and taste like pure almond extract, but not this one.
I did try adding brown sugar to one of my cups and it really added to the flavor, turning this into a nice dessert tea. However, something in this blend is really messing with my taste buds, at room temp the tea comes across slightly fruity, and I can’t tell why. Perhaps it is the almond flavoring, but it’s really bugging me.
