Another sipdown. This is nice but not quite a favorite for me. As with last night’s Butiki tea, I find myself wanting a little more something. The sip starts with an almost coffee-like chocolate, which is so dark it verges on bitter. While it’s not as bad as in some teas, bitter is just not my thing. I do like the aftertaste, which is almost like a medium-bodied oolong—there’s some caramel and burnt sugar taste to it, as well as something like stone fruit. I wish those notes were just a bit stronger.
This is You :-D

Bio
Elizabeth, college student, anthropology major, bio and history minor. I love to travel and try new foods (and teas!). I also enjoy music, books, video games as often as I can get my hands on them.
I loved tea as a kid, didn’t drink it for about ten years, and then rediscovered it a couple of years ago. Tea sometimes helps me feel better when chronic illness is making things hard. It’s also fun to experiment with!
I’m still pretty new to the types and brands of tea out there, but I’m interested in trying some of everything. My favorites are earl greys, yunnans, medium-bodied oolongs, Japanese greens, fruit, vanilla, and floral flavors (especially jasmine and rose). My least favorites are teas that are overly smoked, bitter, or contain strong hibiscus or orange peel.
