drank Butterscotch by Yawn
1960 tasting notes

So it begins! Advent Season! Time to drink teas we wouldn’t try otherwise.

ADVENT DAY 1, tea 1/3

This is one of them. Generally speaking I am not fan of caramel flavoured teas and not even much of caramel itself but salted caramel.

My cup was sweet and buttery, I assume pretty true to intended flavour, with surprisingly long mouthfeel and finish. Plus point for no sugar in this tea, so not getting any calories in the very first day of the session.

While it is not my personal preferred tea flavour, it’s good start from this, for me unknown, company. (I just found out today that Kelmishka had their advent 2 years ago.)

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 4 min, 0 sec 10 OZ / 300 ML

That sounds like a tea a caramel lover would adore! Salted Caramel by Harney disappointed me because the base was quite weak and the aroma of caramel was good but the flavor was weaker than the aroma. English Caramel by Lupicia was awesome.

Kelmishka

I think I was tipped off onto Yawn by Nik a few years back! They have some interesting blends in the advent… it was a fun one.

ashmanra: Well I assume they have bearable shipping costs :). But I am trying not to be a tea enabler, haha!
Kelmishka: I just liked the price tag, shipping price and haven’t looked to the list of teas. But yes, there are a few blends from their selection that sound definitely very interesting (at least in theory). Looking forward to try next blends.

I am drinking almost everything. Tea bag collector who moved to wonderful world of loose leaf.

Trying to rate differently tea bags and loose leaf as tea bags have usually worse quality.

Photographer now and then. Postcrossing and geocaching member. Very curious person. Logistics student (should finish in June 2021).

Buried in tea right now. Is in my cupboard (trying to be updated) which sparkled your interest? Write me, I would gladly share with you. But I don’t want anything in return now :)
