drank Crimson Horizon by Butiki Teas
184 tasting notes

all hell has broke loose round here….many things feel unresolved and “messy” at best, the weekend is going by too quickly. The irresponsible neighbor got 2 feral kittens from someone around here and one got out yesterday and they haven’t found it yet. Emotionally I feel like a cork in the ocean….. and if any tea can get me centered and ready to begin my day of unknowns and potentially unthinkables, it’s Crimson Horizon.

I’m glad I bought a boatload of this tea prior to the demise of Butiki. This tatty looking ctc from Kenya is the perfect tea for me to gather my mind this morning. A deep biscuity malt flavor with a wonderful round mouthfeel and a wholesome quality to the flavor profile, this tea will be my guide for the day.
Keep your fingers crossed for the kitten……..

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.
