6107 Tasting Notes
I had been avoiding this tea for months, thinking I was going to hate it. I finally drank it last week and was very pleasantly surprised by its depth of flavour and the fact that it was much more than just licorice/anise. No specific notes on flavour; I’ve had a rough go of things lately and about all I can really remember are impressions – and this tea gave a good one!
Been giving finishing up some Butiki teas a halfhearted attempt lately, since they’re getting pretty old and I have a lot. Had some of this one recently, and unless I’m mixing it up with an A Quarter to Tea tea of a similar name (which is possible), it was quite satisfying. No particular notes on flavour, just a good experience.
Drinking lots of tea, no time to write notes, or do much of anything for that matter.
Had a lovely cup of this a couple days ago though, and wanted to record it. I didn’t taste much in the way of strawberry cinnamon roll, but the savoury base mixed with the flavour notes quite well to create a delicious, albeit vaguely flavoured, experience. I don’t often remember much about the teas I drink while working (which is the only time I drink tea, really), but this one stuck out. Yum.

Review for 2022 Anne version.
I was disappointed with this one – the strawberry was completely overwhelmed by the strong marshmallow root and toasted rice flavours. Another possibility of brewing error, but I’ve had this before in a few teas and it’s been pretty inescapable.

It’s a trend of greens and I not getting along, although I think maybe this one was tastier? As in, more flavour and base tea, less boring old sencha flavour (which is what greens seem to get when oversteeped, steeped with too hot water, etc. etc.)
