Maple Pecan Oolong

This is unbelievable. Thanks Stephanie. Thanks Butiki. Ya done good. My goodness…

This is so decadent and adding a bit of sugar makes it a satisfying dessert substitute. The pecan stands out the most but in all it’s very true to it’s name. I tried steeping this a second time but the flavor wasn’t there and I could only taste a hint of pecan.

This is going straight to the shopping list! I’m trying to decide on at least 4-5 Butiki teas before I place an order. Two down…

Great Canadian Traveling Tea Box

The last tea for me from The Great Canadian Traveling Tea Box. This has been an absolute blast and now I get to fill it back up with tea. I think that might just be the best part.

Now back to the tea.
1.5 teaspoons + sweetener

Wow, this is very good! The maple is a true maple taste. It doesn’t really taste artificial (even with my fake sugar). I’m keeping the remaining teaspoons of this. Really glad I had the chance to try this one!

I had a cup of this this morning. I’ve been rationing it, as I can’t justify a Butiki order right now to replace just one tea (shipping to Canada isn’t cheap).

I LOVE this tea. That’s it. That’s all. I LOVE it.

Very good! Liked it better this time than the first time. I think the first time I put bowling water and it was too hot, and maybe I put too much leafs in. Really better with fewer leaf and lower temp (170F).

This is my Stargate sipdown tea. The maple and pecan has a very nice aroma. Kinda like breakfast pastries.

I really like the flavour of oolong. It’s great with the pecan, and a little sweet as maple. Thanks to Emily M for sending me this! :)

the more i drink this tea, the more i come to appreciate it. and it is just perfect after a cup of dessert tea or robust black to which i normally add milk and sugar. i really get a strong flavor of pecan and oats while the dry leaf smacks of rich maple syrup (and it is a wonderful smack, by the way). for me, the maple aspect doesn’t come through so much in the flavor, but that is perhaps because it isn’t sweet like syrup and therefore i don’t recognize it. but this is still a bewitching blend of unsweetened pecan oatmeal in a cup.

for me, oolongs are something you can enjoy any time of day. they’re versatile and surprisingly light though satisfying. this particular offering from Butiki is a lot of fun.

having recently acquired Verdant Tea’s Laoshan Black, which brews up surprisingly light for a black tea, there’s something about it which reminds me of darker, roasted oolongs like Formosa, or in this case—Nilgiri Frost. could be something as simple as the color/body of the tea liquor, or perhaps it is the shared nutty nuance with regards to flavor. either way, both are really delicious.

going to have my 2nd infusion of this lovely Oolong right now!

ETA— now that i think about it, there is a gentle tang- something seemingly ‘green’ beneath the pecan nuttiness of this tea which contributes to its delicacy.

Wow!!! If this is what flavoured teas can taste like, I am SOLD! With the last few Butiki teas I have had, I don’t think I can say I prefer mostly straight teas anymore:) I definitely have found a few that I would like to add to my cupboard.
Anyways this is an amazingly maple pecan flavoured tea. It has just the right amount of sweetness for me so I didn’t add any sugar and I love pecans. Very well balanced flavours!

This is a nice cup of oolong. Not too sweet but does take care of the craving :) Love the balance of maple and pecans – yummy just right!

I took a gamble when I ordered this tea. I like maple syrup. I despise maple flavored cookies, candy, ice cream, etc. I was surprised how much I liked this. It actually tastes like maple syrup, & not artificial at all. The thing that impressed me the most is the lingering maple flavor. Very good!
