drank Pistachio Ice Cream by Butiki Teas
294 tasting notes

Before I ever tried this, I knew I was pretty much guaranteed to love it. I’ve always loved pistachios, and my love for ice cream and green tea, and this was perfect from the start.

Story time:
My friend and I were house sitting, and were both tipsy, and we both dropped our phones in the hot tub, and couldn’t find rice. So, I saw this gigantic jar filled with pistachios, and I say: “lets put our phones in there, because theyre salty like rice.” Now, we were recording ourselves on the webcam at the time so I actually have this on tape. I even told future sober me to remember when we can’t find our phones in the morning, that we put them in the pistachios. I still to this day can’t believe drunk me thought rice was salty and that’s why it absorbed water xD.

First, I want to talk about the base of this tea. It’s everything I love about green tea. If this is what they mean by seaweed type green tea, then I want tons of seaweed type green teas. It’s fresh vegetal and so lovely. Makes me want to do a happy dance.

And then, there’s a fantastic creaminess to this tea, both in taste and flavor. And a delicious nuttiness. And the aftertaste is distinctly pistachio. I’m pretty positive if there was a green tea and pistachio ice cream, and you let it melt, and maybe thinned it out with some water, you’d end up with this tea.

I want more of this, because I feel like 1oz just isn’t enough.
