drank Buttered Rum (Organic) by DAVIDsTEA
199 tasting notes

I really didn’t know what to expect exactly because I didn’t really have a grasp on what “buttery” flavor tastes like. So…I was pleasantly surprised. This is one of those teas that feels like it should have way too many calories to justify drinking (since I’m not one to waste calories on things I can’t even chew). With that being said, I also feel like I probably couldn’t drink multiple cups of this in a row without feeling like I’d had something heavy. It makes for a fantastic dessert tea :)

OMIGOSH WOULD YOU BELIEVE MY BOYFRIEND LIKES THIS???? He’s not usually keen on even taking a single sip of any of my teas. But, he took a sip of this and went to hand it back to me…and then yanked it back to take another sip, and another sip, and another sip before finally handing it back and saying, “Okay, fine, that one’s good.” Yes!!! Buttered Rum for the win!!

ETA: I got so excited about my boyfriend liking this that I completely forgot to thank the wonderful NayLynn for sending me this sample (as well as a few other similar flavors from other companies to compare)!

Flavors: Butter, Rum

I actually haven’t bought anything from there yet either. I have been lucky enough to receive samples of a couple of their teas, which is great since they sell in larger amounts than I would be comfortable buying unless I had sampled them first.

DavidsTea sells in as little as 8g if you have store access :) Or someone willing to hit one up for you. They’re great that way. Unfortunately, online purchases are in 50g increments unless you buy a sample kit.

Unfortunately, I get no love from David since I live in southern California :( The nearest store is 7 hours north of me. I may have to ask a friend, though, now that you’ve mentioned it!

Bio

I am a teacher for an after school tutoring program serving grades 1-12 and the Assistant Director of an English language program. Dealing with people who are just learning how to communicate can be stressful. Since I’ve never been (and never want to be) a coffee drinker, I was happy to have found a tea I liked when I started college. Bigelow French Vanilla was my first ever favorite tea. I am just learning to love loose leaf. I drink tea both hot and cold every single day.

I’m not too much of a fancy-pants when it comes to tea drinking. As long as it tastes good and doesn’t take up my whole paycheck, I’m happy. I find I am mostly enjoying flavored blacks and oolongs, as well as whites and the occasional green tea. I’m struggling with plain greens. I take to fruit-flavored greens much more readily. The only reason I ever sweeten a tea is if I hear it brings out a particular flavor in that tea. Otherwise, I don’t usually add sweeteners. When it comes to milk, I again don’t usually add any. But, when I do, I only use almond milk or coconut milk (the thin kind that comes in a carton from Trader Joe’s…not the thick canned kind).

Love: Floral (especially jasmine and rose), caramel, maple, nuts, cream, cake/cookie flavors, chocolate, and fruit (especially peach, pineapple, berries, raisins, and coconut)

Loathe: Peppermint, licorice, really strong vegetable flavors, mint/chocolate combo, heavily spiced teas

Aside from tea, I also really REALLY enjoy reading.

NOTE: I haven’t been putting my one to two cup samples in my cupboard because that’s really only enough for tasting and experimenting. If it’s in my cupboard, it means I have enough to go back to it if I’m craving it (or if somebody wants to swap).
