I got this as a sample with my Butiki order, thanks Butiki!
I can taste a nice base to this tea, but I’m not picking up on the almond. It tastes like the Butiki Plum Pudding to me. I’m guessing the same black tea is used for both, which is tasty, but the flavors other than that are lost on me right now.
I’ll have to revisit this and several other teas again after I have sinus surgery which will hopefully restore my sense of taste.

The Plum Pudding is actually an oolong. It does get mistaken for a black tea quite a bit though. Both are from Nilgiri, so there are definitely some similar qualities.
Oh no, that doesn’t sound like fun. I hope your surgery goes well.
Oh, interesting! My sense of taste and ability to identify things has been way off lately. I know I have been missing out on a lot.
Thanks, I hope so too! I’d love to have normal sinuses again.

It makes sense that those two teas would be similar since they are both sweeter Nilgiri teas.
I hope you heal fast. :)
