donkeyteaarrrraugh drank Grandpa's Anytime Tea by Butiki Teas

184 tasting notes

I received this as a free sample with my Butiki order…. the sample was a bit scant (just 3/4 teaspoon but the website wouldn’t let me enter a fraction.), and sadly, I don’t think I got to taste this tea with the vigor that it is intended to bring. It has a balanced malty flavor that I prefer in tea, and now that I look at the description, it is explained….it’s a kenyan tea. I am a low-astringency gal that likes her tea strong, but I was surprised that a 3 minute steep (to hopefully make up for the weensie sample) didn’t bring out a ton of astringency. I might like this tea very much if I had more to try!

Spot or pot, I love a cup!

I learned to drink tea while living in Dublin in the early 80’s, so as you can imagine, I am a hearty brew lover, and take tea with milk and honey. I am trying to expand my horizons with tea….that is why I’m now on Steepster! Joined in January 2014.

Currently loving strong black teas that hold up to milk and honey well. I have a curiosity about keemuns and yunnans, but smoky ones are out. Green and white teas are off my radar, but making little forays into oolong and darjeeling tea. Herbal? So far only cacao tea has gone into regular rotation in my tea routine.

I do like some naturally flavoured teas…almond, vanilla, cardamom, ginger. This seems to be mostly in the cooler months…but mostly I’m an unflavoured tea drinker.

Life is too short for bad tea and bad bread.
