When I first opened this bag of tea my instant thought was that it smells exactly like one of my favourite alcoholic ciders :) Liberteas is tootaly right about the spices in this one. I’m going to have to try this a few more times to really wrap my brain around the taste. Overall a nice afternoon tea.

I think I have over steeped this one. While it’s nicely flavoured there’s a hint of something there that makes me wish I was instead drinking Madam Butterfly. I’ll have to give this another go tonight when I get home – work isn’t really a great set up for my tea habits…..yet!

I’m thinking maybe Butiki has an opportunity to develop some perfumes with all of the amazing scents their teas have j/k While I enjoyed this tea quite a bit – the flavour lingers like a friend who’s having a great time and doesn’t want to leave – I’m beinning to think that i’m not a huge fan of Rooibos. Still a great tea but lower on my list than the others because of the rooibos.

So another Butiki Tea….probably going to be a lot of these in the next few days as I work through my first order :) This tea smells like a real raspberry truffle! Once i smelled the tea I was a little unsure of how i’d feel drinking it but I guess i should know better by now when it comes to butiki. This tea is delicious! I don’t have much experience with chocolate teas but this is an entirely different beast. Rather than punching you in the face with FLAVOUR! the tea eases into your mouth and casually walks up to let you know that yes… the raspeberry truffle HAS arrived.

oh my god… this smells delicious! Another butiki tea that doesn’t disappoint. Really enjoy the subtle – teas of the teas i’ve tried so far. It really does taste like a tangerine creamsicle!

So I have to admit, despite the wonderful reviews of this tea, I was a little skeptical given that I’m not a huge cantalope fan. BUT! as my very first tea from butiki teas – colour me happy and impressed! This is a great tea! This tea is subtle while still being packed with flavor.

So this is my least favourite of the Samples that I received from Epi Tea and I think it’s largely because I don’t think I like lavender :) That being said the tea has a very pleasant aroma and a smooth taste to it…just not what I really enjoy.

Woke up this morning wanting a tea with some body and “oomph” chose the Masala Chai from bridgehead as it’s usually a winter tea for me but felt right this morning. Again, it didn’t fail to disappoint.
