This is one of Stacy’s recent reblends after closing up shop. I can’t believe i am the first to review this tea! When I saw that this was a white blend, I was ever so slightly worried. There are some strong flavors in this blend. Heavy winter flavors like coffee and pumpkin?
However, I cast my fears aside from the first sip. Wowza! This is a sexy and smooth blend. It tastes so right with her Kenyan Silver needles. The pumpkin flakes were a nice touch. I loved how the coffee flavor was not astringent nor bitter. I’m feeling the smoothness and richness from an espresso with that flavor. The butterscotch ties both the pumpkin and the coffee together. It really is like a better pumpkin latte! From the four western steepings I got from this tea, the coffee flavor stayed the longest. The butterscotch was a close second, I lost it around the third steeping. The pumpkin flakes only graced my tongue for the first steeping, then became a whisper in the second. The brew was so velvety smooth that I could not have cared any other way. I enjoyed it with a white chocolate kit Kat that I had calling my name. I felt the same creamy smoothness in the candy bar as I did with this tea.
Can you believe that this is my first Butiki tea? I am so sad to have found them too late.
Stacy, you are a master. I wish you only the best with wherever life takes you.
Flavors: Butterscotch, Espresso, Pumpkin, White Chocolate
I’ve been dying to see a review of this. I was super happy with how it came out and wanted to see if everyone else liked it. Thank you for the well wishes! :)
