So, now I’m having a cup of Lime Marshmallow in my brand new tea mug that my daughter got for me for Christmas. For those of you who didn’t see it in the thread that I resurrected from the graveyard last night, here’s a link to the picture of my new mug. I love it: https://www.flickr.com/photos/eccentricpastiche/15928728560/
This thing holds 16 ounces of tea, so I’ve got sixteen ounces of lime marshmallow in front of me right now.
The flavors start out very delicate. The lime is the strongest flavor of the cup, but it’s quite delicate too. The tartness of the lime lingers into the aftertaste. I like that it’s not overly tart, the sweetness of the marshmallow softens the tart lime just a bit.
There’s a creamy layer of flavor beneath the lime. Soft and sweet. The marshmallow and the white tea work nicely together – the light, subtle notes of the white tea with a light sweetness from the marshmallow. It’s nice. I think I am finding myself wanting a little more marshmallow flavor. It’s good but I feel like it could be better.

I still cry when I watch it. When I read the book, I had to stop reading and cry for about an hour after the chapter about Snape’s memories.
Fjellrev – to me, they are definitely along the same lines, but Butiki’s is creamier and the base is less noticeable (also, less chance of bitterness). If you like Lime Jello Salad, you will like this tea.
I love your mug. Those lines are some of my favorites too! Snape is the best :D so sad at the end.

This is even better on the resteep! The flavors are really THERE now.
I was hoping it would be a lot like Frank’s Lime Jello Salad.
@Fjellrev: no, it’s not really like that. I love both though. But they are different.

I agree that they’re similar and if you like the Lime Jello, you’ll like this. But there are some noticeable differences as well. Both are delicious.
I just brewed this tea tonight, and I found that with a little extra leaf the flavors really come through nicely.
