drank Pumpkin Creme Brulee by Butiki Teas
121 tasting notes

I must be more of a ceylon person than assam because for whatever reason, this tea doesn’t upset my stomach. I’ll have to look at the caffeine content for different black teas because I’m pretty sure that’s what makes my tummy unhappy. It’s the reason why I can’t drink coffee. I knew I needed some black tea for my morning because yesterday my cat woke me up at 6am and would not let me fall back asleep! It was Saturday, and during the week I have to wake up at 5am to drive to school. :( Cats are jerks. So anyway I had a very long slumber and I have studying to do for a midterm this week and needed my brain to be unjumbled immediately.

I didn’t add anything to my tea, so I’m not getting much of the creaminess but the pumpkin spice comes out quite nicely. I don’t know how Stacy does it!

Bio

I became a tea addict after I decided to make some changes to my diet and cut out soda completely.

Teas I like
I love Japanese green teas but I can be a little snobby about them. When I was in Japan I stayed in an area known for sencha, so I can be pretty picky.

Companies I enjoy
I’ve had most experience with Lupicia because they’re very close to me. I enjoy their non flavored green teas and white teas the most. Their flavored teas are good, but it’s usually a hit or miss.
DavidsTea is a bit far but when I make trips to San Francisco I usually buy a bit. I like their herbal teas the most. Their other teas never wow me and have too much flavoring for me.
I like Adagio for their fan blends – I wish more companies did this! The tea isn’t the best quality but I do enjoy my initial steeps.
I found a store near me that sells Mariage Frères. They’re expensive but I don’t think I have had a more delicious cup of tea before.

Tibits about me
I returned to school several years ago and I am finally graduating in March 2014 so I’m really excited to finally be receiving my bachelor’s. I spend my evenings when I’m not studying watching cheesy scifi movies, playing video games, watching video game streams, or stalking the internet for tea. I have an adorable old man kitty who always wants whatever I’m drinking. When I can, I like to sew and knit while I marathon BBC shows or asian dramas.
