drank Caramel Vanilla Assam by Butiki Teas
268 tasting notes

So this tea was not my favorite. It may have been my fault because all I had was a sample size and I used a big mug…probably 12 oz. So it was probably underleafed. That being said, I mainly get a buttery taste from it with maybe a tiny bit of caramel. It just tastes kind of odd. Maybe I’ll try a resteep with less water and hold off on rating it until then. Anyway, thanks for the sample, Butiki Teas!

Resteep: I used about half the water this time. The weird taste is even worse now. This is just not the tea for me. There must be something wrong with me since everyone else seemed to be raving about it!

It is not necessarily you…when I first tried my first cup, I couldn’t figure out what the fuss was about.
But by the time I have finished the pot…I loved it…I think somehow it is one of those that
“grows on you”.

Sometimes it’s much better than other times, but I couldn’t say why… I hope it ‘pops’ for you next time!

Unfortunately, I only had a teeny sample bag that was enough for one cup so I most likely won’t be able to try it again. That’s ok though. Stacy will already be getting a cut of my paycheck with all the Killer’s Vanilla and Lavender Chamomile I will be buying!

Bio

Tea-obsessed, book worm scientist.

I love black tea, especially Chinese black tea- I’m looking at you Fujians and Yunnans! I also enjoy Indian teas, mostly first flush darjeelings (and a select few assams).
I think I’m recently starting to like oolongs better though- gasp! I’ve been cheating on my black teas with all these lovely, alluring green floral oolongs. Sorry I’m not sorry.
White tea gets a lot of love too! I am particularly fond of silver needle whites.
I can’t seem to appreciate green teas and rooibos is foul, IMO.

Other interests: Books! Board games! Nerdy entertainment like Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica, Game of Thrones, Sherlock, all the nature documentaries, etc etc. Also Disney!

I’m up for swaps!
