I only have a few more new teas to try. Which is probably good because classes start on Monday and I can’t be distracted by all of these new teas. I’m going to try to get to all of them before Monday, and the first tea today is Creamy Eggnog. I added this tea to my Butiki order after reading all of the favorable comments about it. My fiancee loves eggnog, and he also loves green tea so I figured this would be a winner for him. He was away for Christmas, so now that he’s home it is the perfect time for both of us to try this tea. I was initially very concerned because the steeped tea is so very pale – almost colorless. But the aroma is definitely eggnog. The flavor is very subtle, but a creamy eggnog flavor with a wonderful rich vanilla note. I really love this one, and I’m not even a huge fan of green teas. This one will go on the list to order early next Christmas so I can enjoy it the whole season long.
-Dry blend has very large green tea leaves with small orange petals.
-Dry leaves smell very faintly of eggnog. Tea liquor aroma is of sweet vanilla.
-Tea liquor is a clear almost colorless pale yellow color.
-Buttery flavor with a slight fresh green tea finish. Light creamy vanilla and eggnog aftertaste.
-Best with sweetener.
-Very good tea. A delicate cup. Light and creamy custard eggnog flavor with a hint of rich vanilla.
