Maple Pecan Oolong

With its semi-oxidized leaves, this oolong tea captures the essence of the tea plant, resulting in a smooth and mellow brew with a lingering finish.

Absolutely love this tea.

Lovely tasting tea I have recently been using this tea before bed! Love the taste and always wanting more!

Thank you to Ost for letting me buy this from her. I couldn’t wait any longer and drank this in the morning as soon as I got back from the store where I bought milk. This has a lot of maple flavour, and lots of tasty toasted pecan flavour. The base tastes more like a black, but it might just be a highly oxidized unroasted oolong. It hasn’t lost any flavour with age, since it made my entire house smell like maple pecan. The reason I had to have this particular tea this morning was because I could smell the mapley dry leaf across the room. I’m the future I plan to make this with a touch of sweetener to bring out the maple.

A good tea with good-to-great taste profile.

Woody, creamy finish on the palette — enjoyable :)

500th TASTING NOTE!!!!

I’m celebrating with a cup of my favourite tea of all time. It needs a touch of sugar to nudge the flavours into shining now, but once it’s added it’s as amazing as it ever was.

So for my before-breakfast tea this morning I decided to drink the penultimate cup of my maple-pecan oolong tea, and therefore almost the last there ever will be, for me at least, as Butiki tea is closing down. It is a mournful occasion. My wife is angry now, because she doesn’t want me to finish it, she wants to frame it and worship it, make a shrine to this maple-pecan tea; it’s that good. I don’t think Butiki teas has any commandments against graven images.

I brewed this tea according to the instructions. What can I say that already has been said in a much more eloquent manner? It tastes exactly like it should, nutty, maple, creamy and delicious. Probably my favourite tea from Butiki teas. Unfortunately for us we only found out about this company as she was going out of business. I see a pattern emerging in my life; all my favourite musicians are dead, and now my favourite tea company is on its way out too!

I’m just happy that I got to enjoy this tea before the supply became extinct. I’m sad that others will not.

Got this from Carol Who. It’s pretty good. I don’t have many Oolongs, but I think this is a pretty good middle ground. Unsweetened, you can taste a hint of the maple nut flavor. I added a packet of truvia, and it brought out more of the maple flavor. Truvia may not have been the best sweetener for this tea, but it’s good. I just can’t tell if the altered flavors are just flavors that the sweetener enhanced. The maple is somewhere between pancake syrup and the flavor of the french toast cereal that you could get in the 90s.

I don’t drink many dessert teas, but this one seems nice.

My second try of this one and it is just not doing it for me. The first time all I could taste was pecan, which was okay, but I wanted more maple. This time, with a shorter steep, I’m not even getting pecan. It is a pleasant enough, mild, sort of yeasty oolong, but not what I was looking for.
