Cameron B. drank Pistachio Ice Cream by Butiki Teas

4330 tasting notes

Hooray, another tea from Mandy! And this is actually a tea that I ordered in the sale, too. I love pistachios and creamy things, so it seemed like a perfect fit! The dry leaves are quite spindly and there are pieces of pistachio throughout. It smells like flavoring, with that alcoholic note that makes me go “ick”. I kind of get vanilla from it, I guess. I’ve learned so far to not really bother smelling these teas dry, as the alcohol scent overpowers everything else.

The brewed aroma is vegetal green tea, mostly spinach. There’s a little bit of vanilla scent too. This mostly tastes like green tea… I get a little bit of nuttiness, maybe some vanilla and cream in there. I would call it Green Tea Ice Cream. :P This kind of reminds me of Verdant’s Minnesota Blend in that it doesn’t taste how I would expect, it mostly tastes like a green tea with nice vanilla and nut notes. I think I will try this with more tea per cup when it arrives.

Of course, I added vanilla soymilk at the end, and of course, that makes it taste much more like ice cream! Still not necessarily pistachio though, more of a light green tea ice cream. :)

Flavors: Butternut Squash, Cream, Nuts, Spinach, Vanilla, Vegetal
