AureliaFish drank Premium Taiwanese Assam by Butiki Teas

20 tasting notes

Got my butiki order! So this is part 3 of my birthday tea adventure

I managed to snag samples of their Premium Taiwanese Assam and Mi Xian black, both of which have great reputations on here so I’m really excited.

Since I had a limited amount of the assam, I had to brew it western style according to their directions. I waited patiently for exactly four minutes and poured it into my cup. What a lovely rusty orange color!! Gorgeous.

It smells of spices, especially cinnamon and I’m even smelling vanilla. Smells like a treat to me.

It has a really full flavor and it bold without being bitter or astringent. It has a very pleasant spice flavor that changes from sip to swallow. Of course I only got a few sips but woe this is a really wonderful tea…. Oh I might have to break my haitus to order more :(

Hello! My name’s Natalie and I’m seventeen. I only got into drinking loose tea regularly about six months ago and I’m definitely a newbie :)

I really love black teas the most but every now and then I’ll pick up something else. Right now I happen to be on an oolong streak! I drink almost exclusively straight teas as well so I’m rarely interested in blends.

I’m always open for swaps so if you see anything in my cupboard just send me a message to see if I’m interested in swapping it! Also, I have tons of samples that I don’t add to my cupboard on here so if you’re wondering if I have any samples you might like just ask me :)

(Other than drinking tea of course) my hobbies include Irish dancing and playing the cello (and I have an unhealthy interest in biology haha).

My scoring system:
0-29: I’d pour out my cup of it after one sip.
30-49: I’d finish the cup, but I wouldn’t particularly want to make it again.
50-59: It’s alright, and I’d drink it if offered to me.
60-69: It’s tasty but I won’t go out of my way to buy any.
70-79: I’d buy this to drink every once in a while, but if I ran out I wouldn’t rush to get more.
80-89: I enjoy this tea a lot and drink it regularly. Would recommend!
90-94: Super delicious and would run to buy more once I run out!
95-100: This is so good I am probably crying over the difficulty between drinking it all the time or drinking it only on special occasions.
