I’ve been compulsively hoarding the last of my Butiki teas. It’s a bit like Smaug sprawled over a mountain of tea leaves, really.
But the tea isn’t getting any younger and I’d like to drink it while it’s still amazing.
Because it’s definitely still amazing.
This one held up so much better than I could have imagined. It’s still that clean juicy watermelon flavor with a subtle, natural sweetness that may as well be real watermelon. The flavor has faded just a little, but it only made the base shine more. Cream and sweet, wet straw.
Two delicious infusions.
Preparation

Hahaha that image of Smaug and the tea is so accurate for my behaviour since Butiki closed. :’)
