So I’m finally getting back in the habit of writing reviews and I’m a little rusty. Today is a tea drinking day. I just want to drink gallons of it. If I didn’t have to go up the stairs each time to make it I probably would.

This is the second time I’ve tried this tea from my last Butiki order. I know people say guayusa is hard to oversteep but I wish I had remembered I was steeping it and it didn’t go quite that long. I have no idea how long it was steeping for. 8 minutes?

Anyways the longer steep time made the guayusa much stronger than the first time I tried the tea. Luckily I’m starting to to take a liking for it.

The thing I like the most about this tea is that it is definitely tangerine. Not orange. Not vague citrus. Real tangerine. There’s just the right amount of cream flavor to make it unique and desserty. Butiki has a way with cream notes. I wish there was such a thing as a tangerine creamsicle. Maybe there is but I’ve only ever seen orange.

Bio

I’m a long time tea addict since my british grandma started me on english breakfast tea as a toddler.

Since then I’ve branched out substantially. Right now I’m a big oolong fan. I love high mountain oolongs most but any high quality oolong is a treat.

Flavor wise I love vanilla and chocolate as well as stone fruits, whether they occur naturally or as flavorings. My tea stash is pretty much split 50/50 flavored and unflavored.

Oh and coconut! I’m constantly in search of the perfect coconut tea. If you have one or know one shoot me a message cause I’d love to know.

I love reading and knitting. They are my two other addictions besides tea. I think one can never really have too much tea, yarn, or books.
