With my newly discovered caffeine sensitivity, I need to round out the late afternoon/evening with herbal teas and I have so very few of those, so this one makes an appearance again.

Still tasty and sweet. A bit more flowery this time, I think. Enjoyable.

Holy Raspberry! Even with how old this tea is, it went unopened until now. The smell is still strong with the dry leaf and the taste is divine! I love me a raspberry tea and this one is pretty great.

Just took inventory on my tea cupboard so I’ll be revamping that soon. I want a matcha latte now but I have no milk that isn’t chocolate flavoured…

Can you tell I’m trying to drink down my old Butiki teas? I wanted something I know I like so out came the Raspberry Truffle. The raspberry scent in the dry leaf is still pretty strong. If nothing else, I store my old teas well, even if it takes me forever to drink them. I’d really like to get to a place where I feel comfortable buying new tea again.

Anyway, this tea was a reward for cleaning the shower drain. Tasty and nice. I enjoyed this pot.

I wasn’t really enjoying this and I wasn’t sure why but now that I see that it’s an oolong, it all makes sense. Oolongs are not something I’ve ever managed to develop a taste for. Also the cinnamon is kind of strong for me in this brew. Perhaps I should pass it along.

I am definitely tasting espresso when I drink this. It took a long while for me to pin down the flavour other than ‘dark but not chocolate’. Coffee, that’s what it was. I’m not a fan of coffee, generally, that is why I drink tea instead, but this is…decent. Definitely not my favourite and it’s old besides so probably it’s good that I can never get it again. Still have a couple of pots worth in my sample so I’ll get to try again.

Sipdown! Good tea, aged well. Nothing terribly special to it, it was a good peppermint black tea. I enjoyed it sweetened while putting together a bookcase. I’m not sad to see it go though, since I have too many peppermint teas anyway. For real.

This tea has aged ridiculously well, considering how old it is. The cocoa and goji berries look so good in the dry leaf and the flavour comes through really well, especially with a bit of sweetener added. This just tastes so good, even with the emerging cold I have going.

I sipped this down last week but the page was messed up so I couldn’t log a tasting note. I don’t remember much except that I enjoyed it and I’m sad to see it go. However, one fewer tea in the cupboard is all to the good.

Well, I picked this tea out of the cupboard using the tried and true method of ‘closing my eyes and flailing my arm around’. I wish I had picked a black tea as I’m dragging a bit this morning and I’ve picked up a nasty cold somewhere, but I shall survive.

This is a good tea, chocolatey and minty. I sweetened it a bit since I just drank some chocolate almond milk so I didn’t want to get the shock of going from sweetened beverage to unsweetened one. Still this is tasty and I’ll look forward to drinking the rest of it.

Sipdown! That I oversteeped of course, since work is busy and I forgot about it again. I should really start setting a timer or something. So a little astringent and bitter but still okay. I’ll miss this but I have too much tea to buy more of it or another maple tea.
