Ysaurella drank Watermelon Xylophone by Butiki Teas

408 tasting notes

I am finishing this tea by preparing a large pot of one liter.

It is a white tea , beautiful with a long white leaf mixed with sublime pink flowers. It smells delicious more melon than watermelon …watermelon is same family as melons after all, this is definitively a proof !

The wet leaf does not take extra volume during or after the infusion.

It is an almost translucent liquor obtained , crystalline .

The taste is a light tea delicately flavoured with watermelon, very refined. Ideal for a summer afternoon or as an evening tea .

Hard to get tired with this tea as with almost all white teas flavoured by Butiki Teas , their refinement is really perfection.

I’ll miss you Watermelon Xylophone .

First, please forgive me for my English and all the grammatical mistakes you’ll find in my posts.
As English isn’t my mother tongue it sometimes makes things more difficult to express cleverly and accurately what I feel.

I was mainly in black flavoured teas, green as well if not bitter.
I’m now drinking much straight teas because my palate is now developed enough to appreciate them .

My favourite brands are : Taiwan tea Crafts, Teavivre, Mariage Frères,Theodor,Butiki Teas,Dammann Frères, Betjeman & Barton.
My ratings are as follow :

100 to 95 : my darlings; always in my cupboard (or very often ! )

94 to 90 : Excellent tea

89 to 80 : very good tea, a pleasure to drink it

79 to 70: not bad even quite nice, why not having it sometimes, but well,it’s not so urgent !

69 to 50 : Meh, deceptive or just not for me – but has some qualities

49 to 30 : I just don’t appreciate it

Under 30 : is this thing supposed to be tea ?!?!?
