drank Cantaloupe and Cream by Butiki Teas
157 tasting notes

Okay, this is THE quintessential melon tea. I’m so lucky (and sad) to have gotten the last 1/2 ounce.

It’s juicy and succulent. Melon is SPOT ON cantaloupe, in my opinion. The white tea provides a nice backdrop of hay, honeysuckle, and sweet cream. It has a long and smooth finish. The creaminess intensifies over time. It’s fresh, sweet, floral, fruity perfection. I’m in love. I’m going to have a hard time hoarding this one when all I want to do is drink all of it all at once, right now. Damn!

Flavors: Cantaloupe, Cream, Creamy, Floral, Fruity, Hay, Honeysuckle, Melon, Sweet

Don’t hoard it so long that it goes bad…I’m afraid I might accidentally do that with some of my fave Butiki

RIP. I did that with a few blends from Verdant, and I rued the day. It’s going to be so hard with my Butiki teas. ):

I have met such lovely, kind individuals on Steepster and am so glad to have become a part of this community!

Pure black teas are my favorite. I drink black tea daily and I try to keep a variety on hand. I also enjoy white tea, matcha, puerh, and the occasional oolong. In general I try to stay away from flavored teas—especially those with artificial flavorings—but I will make rare exceptions, and I do enjoy a well crafted blend of straight teas. Things I (usually) don’t like: green oolongs, rooibos, straight green teas.

Rating System
90+ The very best! Teas that I always need in my cupboard!
85-89 Teas that I enjoy immensely and will try to keep around.
80-84 Makes a very pleasing cup. I will enjoy drinking them, but won’t necessarily try to keep around. (There are exceptions.)
70-79 Decent, but could be better.
60-69 Mediocre.
40-59 Gross. I might still try to finish the cup.
39 & under Undrinkable. I probably dumped this cup. Depending on the specific rating, I probably threw the rest of the tea out as well.

Some of my favorite tea companies are:
-Whispering Pines Tea Co.
-Verdant Tea
-Mandala Tea
