drank Crimson Horizon by Butiki Teas
184 tasting notes

Anyone who suffers (truly the right word) from allergies knows what kind of morning I’m having. My head woke me up with it’s pounding. For some reason my cats take my sneezing as some sort of BIG insult, and apparently I’m insulting them a lot. I need a big tea with big flavor this morning. I’m heading for the Crimson Horizon.

I’ve reviewed this tea before. It’s ctc holds the best baked bread note I’ve encountered. Add milk. NOM. When savored with toast and jam, it is as much of a comfort tea as I’ve had. Steeped at 1 minutes 30 seconds (yes, that fast folks or you’ll grow hair on your chest from the astringency!) it is a strong smooth cup of contentment to ease your complaints of the morning, whatever those might be. I pack ratted 8 oz of this in Butiki’s last days. I’m dang glad I did.

Spot or pot, I love a cup!

I learned to drink tea while living in Dublin in the early 80’s, so as you can imagine, I am a hearty brew lover, and take tea with milk and honey. I am trying to expand my horizons with tea….that is why I’m now on Steepster! Joined in January 2014.

Currently loving strong black teas that hold up to milk and honey well. I have a curiosity about keemuns and yunnans, but smoky ones are out. Green and white teas are off my radar, but making little forays into oolong and darjeeling tea. Herbal? So far only cacao tea has gone into regular rotation in my tea routine.

I do like some naturally flavoured teas…almond, vanilla, cardamom, ginger. This seems to be mostly in the cooler months…but mostly I’m an unflavoured tea drinker.

Life is too short for bad tea and bad bread.
