I’m trying to sipdown some of my unflavored greens right now. This is becoming difficult because I have been going through a phase where I have been craving only flavored teas, and occasionally a strong black tea. Anyhow, I decided to combine one teaspoon of this with two teaspoons of Butiki’s Pistachio Ice Cream. The pistachio ice cream flavor was, of course, a little more muted this way and the green tea flavor is more discernible, but it worked really well. I think I may do this again in the future. (Obviously, not rating this because I drank it in combination with another tea.)

Wow. This is delicious. The more flavored tea I drink, the more I appreciate Butiki’s blends. I especially like how well the pie crust is coming through on this. There is something in here that’s making me go, “this is reminding me of something”, but I can’t put my finger on it. I hate it when that happens!

I really like this tea, but it definitely has a very strong, sweet marzipan flavor. It may be a little artificial tasting, but somehow I still really like it.

I drank this right after drinking Marriage Frères Pleine Lune today. I guess I was in the mood for almond! I feel like if I combined these both together, it would be my ideal almond tea. This was excellent, not at all artificial tasting, but could have used something to make it taste sweeter and more marzipan-like. Before I read that this had cinnamon in it, I was interpreting the cinnamon sweetness as fruitiness. It’s so interesting how expectation changes how you experience things…I think I might like an almond tea with some raspberry or strawberry so it would taste like those almond cookies with the jam in the middle.

This is delicious. I hope Stacey keeps this one as a regular offering, because this is something I know I will want to drink often. It’s quite true to flavor. The chocolate notes are decadent and the raspberry is just the Godiva raspberry filling in their white chocolate star (my favorite). So, so good.

Thank you, moraiwe, for sending me a sample of this! This was a very good tea. It was pretty true to flavor, and evoked the tanginess of the mascarpone really well, but it didn’t have the sweetness of tiramisu. It probably would have been awesome with some sugar and creamer, but I drink my teas straight.

I don’t know if I like this quite as much as I did when I first tried it, so I pushed the rating down a bit. Maybe it’s a different batch? Still very good tea.

I had a sample of this from I don’t know when. I really liked it and enjoyed chewing up the little fennel seeds. Weird thing about this tea: I was suddenly brought back to Hanukkah at the end of one sip, and then again. Then birthday cake? Something about this taste brought back to me the smell of colorful melting candle wax. This is the second time I’ve gotten a wax taste from a tea. I wonder what this is…

Mmmm. Banana bread tea! Somehow when I ordered this, I didn’t make the connection that banana + walnut = banana bread, but the moment I opened the package I was like “This smells like banana bread!!!” Well, duh…

This tea is pretty good. The only things that could improve it for me would be some “butter” and maybe a bit of vanilla flavor, because then it would be even more like banana bread. Also, the banana tastes and smells very much like those banana chips which I don’t care for. I hate it when a negative flavor association detracts from a perfectly delicious tea.

I’m getting mostly cherries and strawberries in this tea today, and thank G-d not crayons or construction paper. This is still not a favorite for me, though, and I’m lowering my rating.
