Butterscotch & Hazelnut Mocha Candies

This one smells really good in the bag! I just want to keep sniffing! I can pick up the butterscotch, but the mocha and hazelnut do sort of meld together. Steeped, I definitely get more butterscotch than anything. My brew seemed a little thinner than I had hoped I’d get, though I might have under leafed it. I was hoping to get a bit more body for the white, and have the heavier butterscotch, hazelnut and mocha flavours add to the depth and richness in that way that you would want on a crisp autumn day, or a colder winter one. Something thicker that wraps around you like a hug…only less caffeine than a black would.

I do feel like if I used more leaf, I’d get that, and I’m toying with adding milk to enhance the richness. I do still find that for a white tea, it is rich and has more body than you’d expect (just not quite enough for me, unless upping the leaf helps), and I would recommend this to others.

I may readjust my rating once I have made another cup and used more leaf.

I have been drinking this one the last couple of weeks with just a piece or two of brown crystal sugar. Does anyone know where else to get the brown crystal sugar that Butiki used to sell? It is so convenient to use.
Anyway, I actually enjoyed this tea more as it aged because it seemed that the mocha notes slipped into the background, making way for the butterscotch and hazelnut to come to the forefront. The White Rhino base was delicious of course. I miss that tea too.

I was so full after dinner that I didn’t think I could have anything heavy or rich yet I still wanted something flavorful so I went with this tasty tea. The base is simultaneously full-bodied and light and I know that doesn’t make much sense but it’s true. The flavors are also decadent but in a subtle manner, as opposed to beating you over the head to get across their tastes.

To a person with a sweet tooth this smells so heavenly, deliciously yummy! Like the smell the butterscotch and mocha dominate at first sip but the nutty hazelnut comes through at the end. This will be a good tea for Halloween season

I’m a fan of white rhino so I was excited to try this flavored incarnation. I really wasn’t sure about the Butterscotch/Hazelnut/Mocha combo but since I love the base tea and really am a fan of Stacy’s flavored whites I thought I’d give it a whirl. And it works! It really works! The nuttiness and mocha enhances the malty darker side of this tea, and the butterscotch adds a sweet (but not fakey sweet) and bouncy overtone. I’m sure this would be amazing with sugar, but it is not the kind of tea that NEEDS it to be successful, which is GREAT IMO. Kudos, Stacy, this is another winner in my book, and SO creative! :D

So guess this tea isn’t in the system yet…Or it’s just worded differently and I can’t find it. xD
On the label of this tea it says to use 2 level teaspoons…but if you see on the picture of this tea it’s kinda long and weirdly shaped. I like when tea looks like this…but I have no idea if I put too much or too little tea when it’s like this. xD I usually try and use a teaspoon but it just doesn’t work out so well, so I estimate how much I should put in without anything. So maybe this review is super accurate, or maybe it’s not. xD I have a feeling I generally put too little tea when I don’t use a teaspoon to measure it out.
Anyway! Moving on…
This tea smells insanely good. Mainly getting butterscotch and honey out of it. It’s strong so that was a good sign!
As for taste, it’s still a lot of butterscotch and honey. Not tasting too much hazelnut. Maybe a little bit, but the butterscotch kinda overrules this tea.
It’s so smooth and naturally sweet- I do love a tea that I don’t need to add sweetener to! :D
And so we have yet another win from Butiki Teas! :D
This really does taste like candy! ^^ Thank you, Stacy for your awesome birthday sale! :D So excited to try more of your teas!
