Samples-Only Small TTB
So I got this tea box today. Wow, it’s got a lot of tea in it. I did a first go through of the box, and piled up a selection of teas I’m interested in trying. And then I had to try a tea, of course, and I decided to start with this one.
I’m glad I did.
Wow.
Most of you might know that I’m not much of a black tea drinker. Probably because I haven’t found the right black teas to try. This is one I’m glad I’ve tried. It makes me want to try more of assam teas.
It’s nice and malty. I like that. And the caramel and vanilla are really well balanced with this tea. They taste like they’re part of the tea and not added flavors. It’s amazing.
(I’ve had it before, but I’m really glad I had it again. And I’m keeping the rest of this sample. Sorry, kiddos. This one is mine. Oh, and next time I place a Butiki Teas order, this one will be in it.)

I got some of this in my Butiki order! Oh my word, so stoked to try! :D
Ost, it’s very tasty. I felt the same way about the flavor feeling like it’s a part of the tea itself. :D
Ahh that makes me even more excited, Cameron B.!
It really does feel like it’s part of the tea and not something added on top of the tea, like a lot of blends taste like. (Not that that is a bad thing, either, but this is really artfully blended and balanced.) I look forward to seeing your review, Ost.
Cheri if you like this flavored black you should also try the base tea. I believe it is the Premium Taiwanese Assam. It is also one of my many favorites.
Yeah, I might ask for that as the sample on my next Butiki order.
A lot of companies don’t think TTBs are worth it for them, so I’m encouraging everyone to leave a note to seller whenever you buy something that you tried in a TTB so that they know the impact!
