WHOA. I had seen the new changes on the site last night but this is my first time logging a tasting note. I repeat: WHOA.

I’ve been here for three years and its the first real layout change I remember so it’s probably going to take a minute for my eyes to adjust, haha. But I do like the streamlined look and the font change. Once I get my bearings a bit more I will be fine.

As for the tea: the dry leaf scent is pleasantly milky caramel – not overwhelming at all. I really like this about Butiki teas in general – all of the scents and flavors seem very natural and balanced.

I used my Vanilla coffee creamer on it since I figured it wouldn’t hurt the flavor (since the tea is so strongly vanilla itself) and I’m getting a sweetened milky caramel tea that is to die for. A nice little afternoon dessert, if I do say so myself.

Flavors: Caramel, Vanilla

Preparation
Boiling 3 min, 0 sec 4 tsp 17 OZ / 500 ML

My tea habits:

*I am an unashamed Lipton iced-tea drinker (mass quantities, year round).
*I like hot teas but only in cold weather (and occasionally late summer nights or mornings).
*I love Japanese greens (the more seaweed-y the better) and good strong malty black teas.
*I do NOT love smoke in any form.
*Vanilla, cinnamon, or lemon anything will usually pique my interest.
*I’m working on pu-erh but it’s definitely going to take some time to grow on me.
