From Butiki Teas

Azzrian’s Custom Blend via Butiki Teas.
This blend was inspired by a beer I used to love drinking.
It was a lambic beer sweetened and flavored with peaches.
Thus we took an organic guranse and mixed in cascade hops, peaches, and peach flavoring.
All organic, all delicious!

I randomly picked up an ounce of this, knowing it would likely be an acquired taste.. knowing that I don’t usually like beer, fruity black teas, or peaches in general. This tea therefore leaves me speechless because I strongly like everything about it.. the peachy fruitiness, the malt, the vaguest hint of tobacco, the hops. I just finished my second steep and loved it. I don’t get me.

I will withhold a rating on this one until I’ve worked my way further through the ounce, and can rationalize my feelings a bit more. It’s an aroma versus taste thing (I’ve a tiny aversion to the smell of hops).

drat, the dollar value of my impending order is climbing…. i was debating over this one. sigh.

Fuzzy_Peachkin

I have this one waiting in my cupboard! I love peach, but dislike beer, so I might go through through a little of what you are.

Ysaurella

I adored this one, I have had a sample by Azzrian (it was her customer blend – so my version was maybe a little different) and like you I just hate bear.This tea is magical

So, I inadvertently brewed up two peach blacks this morning, as I was unaware that the tea I received from Sil had peach flavouring as well! (Actually, it just occurred to me that the third sample I brought down is also peach! But it’s Peach Ginger White, or something to that effect. I guess I had peaches on the brain…) This sample was of course generously provided by Azzrian! Thanks for the chance to try out your custom blend! :D

Now, a disclaimer. I hate beer. I probably don’t like hops. I am apparently picky about peach flavouring in tea (well, it may just be DavidsTea’s peach flavouring). However, this is too cool to pass up!

Brewed up, it smells a bit peachy, and there’s another flavour I can’t quite put my finger on. Perhaps it’s the hops, but I don’t really know why they’d be familiar. Or maybe it’s peach flavouring from another tea? Oh wait… it kind of smells like…. Butiki’s Apricot Guayasa! I think that’s the association I’m making. Anyways. The flavour is definitely interesting. I’m getting some bitterness but not really astringency… is this the hops? They are bitter, aren’t they? Bleeehhhhhhh. I can taste some delicious peachiness in there too, but the bitterness is making me sad. I suspect this is a yum tea for beer drinkers, but not so much for me. So bitter my mouth is getting all contorted, haha.

On that note, if anyone I’m swapping with in the near future is curious to try this tea, I have a couple cups’ worth to send off! I wouldn’t suggest trying it if you dislike bitterness or beer. :) No rating because I should have known I wouldn’t like it (and therefore a 30 is soooo mean!)

Hops is super bitter, kind of white grapefruity but more bitter. When I was making this tea for Azzrian, I tasted all ingredients separately as I do when I make blends to understand how they would contribute to the blend. So, I added a lot of hops to hot water and let it sit for a bit. Without thought, I tried a lot of the hops tea and it was huge shock to me. That was the most bitter drink I have ever tasted and that moment will certainly stick with me. Literally had to dump half out and add half water, then repeat that like 4 or 5 times before it was even close to drinkable. I will say, I can now easily pick the taste of hops out of a beer.

Kittenna

Hahahahaha, that’s awesome! Yeah, I think they’re at a good level in this blend for people who can tolerate such things, but I can’t handle the bitterness/flavours of beer, so it’s not shocking that I dislike this too! I did drink the whole cup though :D

Butiki Teas

Wasn’t so awesome at the time but now its funny looking back on it. I did notice that some of the bitterness goes away and more of the peach comes out when you add sugar but sounds like hops aren’t for you.

Kittenna

Yeah, it would probably be more tolerable sweetened, but I’d prefer to be able to drink it without! It occurred to me that my beer-loving gluten-intolerant roomie might be interested to try this tea – is it gluten-free?

Butiki Teas

Yep, gluten-free. It has gluten-free flavoring, gluten-free peach bits and hops. The facility is not gluten-free but we are careful not to cross contaminate.

A busy day requires a very large pot of tea, especially since this is my first of the day. To start with I had work and afterwards I ended up in the hairdressers for over three hours (my mum had her hair dyed before our holiday), so my desperation for tea has grown and grown throughout the whole day.

In raw form this tea has large pieces of dried peach amongst it’s dark brown leaves. Also something green and finely chopped..some sort of herb or leaf? There is a sweet fruit scent but not recognisable yet as peach.

Once steeped this tea is dark brown in colour and has a juicy fruity peach/apricot aroma. Not as sweet as it’s raw form but much fruitier.

The first few sips reveal a rich, malt black tea base with sweet fruit highlights and a rather toasty after taste. For me it’s sweet enough to not need any additional sweetener. The peach is juicy and sweet and the raw pieces were really soft like gummy sweets. It’s a nice balance, fruity enough to be a fruit tea but with an actual tea base that also makes it a tea with a touch of fruit.

I bet this would be amazing as an iced tea. The majority of Butiki blends that I have tried so far have a delicious natural sweetness that’s like magic. It makes a lot of their teas familiar so they do have that unique factor down, their blends literally are their blends.

Another tea I’m sorry to see go but at least I can enjoy the cup and half left in my pot. :)

The green stuff is chopped cascade hops. That’s what gives it the beer flavor.

KittyLovesTea

Thanks for letting me know, I looked on your website but couldn’t see it listed. :) It is malty so the beer part makes sense.

Butiki Teas

This was a custom blend though we will be offering a slightly modified version of this shortly. :) We will be doing a line of beer teas. I find hops to have a specific bitterness to them.

This is the special custom blend tailored by Butiki for Azzrian
I thank you very much for sharing some of it with me.

I really love it – First the blend scent is wonderful, then the brewed blend perfume is unique …and the taste is just waouh…surprising and so yummy.

Tea base is not too strong-but absolutely not weak- and perfectly spouses the peach aromas. But we can detect a different very interesting aroma and this is probably hop.
There is a very very light bitterness (no astringency at all) which is so interesting because this is really like the flavour of a beer without alcohol :)
This is an original flavour in a tea and this is really a success for me (and I don’t like beer, so this is really a big success)

A tea tasting like beer? Well that’s interesting! I had a beer experience yesterday, might write about it later :-)

Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed it!

Dry and brewing this smells utterly fantastic, full on floral peaches including that mysterious “peach pit” aroma, with an element of…fizziness somehow. Wow. I love how fresh fruit-sweet it smells, not sugary or syrupy. The fizzy quality also contains a tangy aspect that’s perfect, contributes to the fresh fruit/fizzy beer evocation. If this was a perfume I would wear it! Someone mentioned peach oatmeal and I can definitely see that. The interesting thing is, the taste definitely still has the flavor of tea. Its lightly bitter, tannic astringency gives the blend that beer quality (and the more it builds the more it does taste like hops…perhaps it melds with the hops somehow, but it turns from tea tannin to west coast IPA hoppy, pretty cool), but also reminds you it’s tea you’re drinking (a good thing, I think). Really nice stuff.

My 600th tasting note!
I saved this sample for last because I was the most curious about this blend. Thanks Stacy!
This was deliciously peachy, with a hint of sweetness.
I am not usually a fan of beer, but the hops in this tea add a very interesting note. It is kind of hard to describe. I am not even sure what hops are. I should have paid more attention but I was mostly focused on the delicious peach flavour.
Overall, a unique and pleasant tea!

Veronica

Congrats on 600!

Bonnie

Congratulations! An interesting note….hops and marijuana are in the same family.

Sil

congrats on hitting 600!

Received this as a free sample with last Butiki order. Super impressed that Butiki teas are labelled with exact water temp and brewing time and it is not just a generic for all blacks use this, etc.

This tea smells of delicious peaches. Not too juicy, but it is authentic smelling. While brewing the smell of peaches with an undertone of hops was wafting out of my mug.

This tea tastes like an unsweetened peach juice. It is not thick though. There is a slight black tea taste but I almost had to wonder if I was really drinking tea or not. There is a very faint hops taste that becomes more prominent in the aftertaste. This one doesn’t really remind me of beer at all, which is slightly disappointing because I was hoping for that hop-y, slightly malty beer taste. But it is still a delicious tea. The hops work really well with the peach flavour. Excellent blend!

Lala-For this one, we didn’t go real heavy with the hops but will definitely be doing at least one beer tea that is heavily hopped. I notice that the hops gets much stronger as the tea cools. When its warm it gets pretty hoppy. Hops is definitely a tricky ingredient to work with.

Ok, so this isn’t really a tasting note per say since I never actually got around to making myself any of this. More so, this is just me logging my feelings because they’re rather “unconventional”, one could say, in regard to the dry leaf.

Last night I was feeling incredibly sick and as I was entering the different teas I had received in the mail into my spread sheet I had them all next to me – and something from that pile was making me feel INCREDIBLY nauseated and sick. I was sure it was just my sense acting out of sorts from being sick though. So since today I’ve felt perfectly fine I decided to pull out all of the teas I received yesterday from my sample drawer and individually smell them to see if I could pin point what it was that was making me sick.

Everything was going really well until I reached this one, which I had received from CrowKettle as part of the “Take It Away” thread. Before even opening the bag to smell the leaf I started to feel sick, but once the bag was open I just couldn’t take it and I actually literally started to gag. 100% that’s what was making me feel so gross and making me so queasy yesterday.

And, I’ve scoured tasting reviews and read through the ingredients list and really there’s nothing in the tea that I’ve ever had adverse feelings to prior, and I can’t see anyone else ever experiencing the same bad reaction, especially just from just the leaf. I’m honestly baffled – a huge part of me just wanted to throw it away though…

I just cannot bring myself to make a cup of this to try out. I just can’t and wont. So, that said, if anyone wants to swap for this (or honestly, I’d be ok with just mailing it away to someone for nothing in return) despite my “glowing” praise towards it please just comment and let me know.

I’ve never had such a poor reaction to a tea, and I just want it out of my house…

VariaTEA

I would be interested in trying it out. I have not packaged up your teas yet so if there is anything you want me to add in exchange for it let me know. However, I know you already packaged up the teas for me so if you would prefer to send it to someone else, I definitely understand.

I am sorry you are having such an adverse reaction to it though

Roswell Strange

It’s yours – hopefully you’ll actually like it. I don’t know how much you have of each, but I’d be interested in trying either Bubble Gum matcha or Pineapple matcha. That said, I’m more than willing to just send it to you regardless of whether I get anything in return.

Butiki Teas

I wonder if it was the Cascade hops that was putting you off. They have a rather aggressive grapefruit smell, though it is not nearly as aggressive when steeped.

VariaTEA

I will have to check but I think I should have at least a tsp of each to send your way.

Roswell Strange

Stacy – I’ve never had issues with hops before, and I definitely wasn’t smelling grapefruit but who knows… I’m quite sure this is a “me” thing, and nothing to do with the actual blend.
VariaTEA – I’ll send both packages out tomorrow before work :)

VariaTEA

Studying for this exam tomorrow (technically tonight) has been so much more time consuming than I thought it would be so I am hoping to have your package out by the weekend.

Crowkettle

Although this tea has a fun taste, the smell of cascade hops/blend brought on a bout of nausea with me too. I just penned it down to past bad associations with beer (which I also sometimes have similar reactions with), but maybe not? Sorry this one didn’t work out for you, though! :/

Thanks to Kittenna and Azzrian for letting me sample this! an interesting experience.
Tastes JUST like a peach beer I had a few months ago. I swear, add some fizzy and alcohol burn… they’d be identical!
That said, I really dislike hops, and I wasn’t that big a fan of the actual peach beer, or the tea.
Funny, because I love beer… but wheat beer or ones that are very low on the hops.
In any case, it is very smooth and well put together. I really like the peach part to! juicy and fresh, but not in a pulpy way. More like the essence of peach.

Kittenna

Even if you weren’t a fan, I think it’s a neat tea to have tried, anyhow! Crazy how well it really mimics peach beer. Of course, I hate the stuff too… :P

Indigobloom

Stacy does such a good job of mimicking flavours, but even still I’m happily surprised with every new blend I taste. I love that she can take something I can’t stand and turn it into something I really appreciate, like peach beer! :P

A one-cup sample from CrowKettle!

This tea smells sooo peachy and delicious. I steeped it a bit cooler than boiling (boiling water and tea scares me), and added a pinch of sugar.

This tea is… kind of sparkly. Such a weird texture! The base is quite delicious, even though I don’t think it’s one of my favourites. The peach flavour is just yum. I don’t drink beer, and have no idea what hops taste like, but this has a bit of an odd flavour to it that must be the hops.

I think I’d like it a lot more if it was just peach, but this is pretty good! I’ll enjoy my cup, but won’t reorder.
