The dry leaf smells uh-MAY-zing; all sharp, zingy lime and sticky-sweet marshmallow. Resulting brew is pretty nice, but not anywhere near what the original aroma promises. Not sure whether I used too much water or too little leaf (this blend has quite a few twigs & is rather hard to measure with a spoon) but I think next time I’ll up the leaf:water ratio and see how that works out.

Knowing that Butiki is closing soon has lit a fire under my butt to try as many of Stacy’s teas as possible before they run out. I have been drinking, just not posting :P

Flavors: Lime, Marshmallow

I grew up in New Jersey drinking Celestial Seasonings, and now I live in England, where I developed a taste for a good builder’s brew. Sometime in 2012 I bought my first loose teas, and my collection has since spiraled out of control. Still quite a novice, due to not drinking enough tea to keep pace with the amount I keep buying.

Some things I’m pretty sure I do like:
- most florals (jasmine, orange blossom, osmanthus, etc)
- buttery, vegetal greens
- malty blacks (usually with milk & sugar)
- oolongs that aren’t too heavily roasted

Not really feeling the flavored teas lately, for whatever reason.

All tasting notes use unfiltered hard tap water, unless otherwise specified.

No real method to my numerical ratings yet, but we’ll see what develops. So far I’ve only given ratings of 90 or higher if I actually get excited while drinking the tea.
