Another tea I bought way back when but never even got to open before life intervened. The BF was very interested in it this morning, so I opened up the packet.
Wow. The dry leaf smells just like the ice cream tastes-sweet and nutty and buttery, and a good bit of that smell carries over into the steeped tea. The flavor is really true to its name, too. In judging teas like this, I give lots of points for trueness to the name. But it’s clearly tea as well, with a black base that plays nicely. Every now and then it comes to the fore but just enough to wave hello.
What I like best about this is that before I tried it, I thought it would probably need to be sweetened or to have milk added to make the flavor taste like what’s in the ice cream. BUT NO! It’s lovely and sweet enough as is, sans any additional caloric content. (For me, anyway. The kids took a sip and said “needs sugar.”)
Of course, those who snooze lose in the 52 teas game, and this is no longer available. I will have to husband my supply.
I love butter pecan! Here’s hoping it makes a comeback one day. =)
Me too. :D
sounds yummy!
