mj drank The Killer’s Vanilla by Butiki Teas

268 tasting notes

First, it’s 4:30am and I am not a morning person. Brain. So. Fuzzy. So, I forgot that there were supposed to be flavors in this tea except vanilla. Needless to say, I was surprised! Surprised in a good way though. This tea is just so creamy, dreamy smooth. I really like it. The mint is very soft and compliments the vanilla wonderfully. I can’t really taste the lavender by itself, but I taste it more in the context of the vanilla and the mint, if that makes sense. This tea is both comforting, is waking me up, and is refreshing. Maybe it should have been called vanilla paradox :-). I will keep this tea stocked at all times! That seems to be a theme with all the Butiki teas I’ve tried.

Bio

Tea-obsessed, book worm scientist.

I love black tea, especially Chinese black tea- I’m looking at you Fujians and Yunnans! I also enjoy Indian teas, mostly first flush darjeelings (and a select few assams).
I think I’m recently starting to like oolongs better though- gasp! I’ve been cheating on my black teas with all these lovely, alluring green floral oolongs. Sorry I’m not sorry.
White tea gets a lot of love too! I am particularly fond of silver needle whites.
I can’t seem to appreciate green teas and rooibos is foul, IMO.

Other interests: Books! Board games! Nerdy entertainment like Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica, Game of Thrones, Sherlock, all the nature documentaries, etc etc. Also Disney!

I’m up for swaps!
