My first Butiki tea! My order came today and it was hard to decide what to try first. I decided to smell a few, and this one smelled soooo good, I decided it was first in the pot. I don’t know how creamy can have a smell, but that’s what it smells like – creamy.
Interestingly, I don’t get much of a smell from the tea once steeped. Tasting it – there’s that creaminess again. I wouldn’t call it eggnog, exactly (it’s been years since I had eggnog, or even milk, though, so don’t trust my tastebuds), but it has a nice, light, creamy taste.
I actually tried adding some nutmeg to the second infusion as one of the other reviewers suggested. I think it was a mistake, as the nutmeg overwhelmed the other flavours. A touch of cane sugar helped to balance it out again, but I think I’ll leave this plain in the future.
A good start to my Butiki adventure. Only another 18 to try now…
