SIPDOWN! Finished up the last of what TastyBrew sent my way.
This time I did add a bit of sugar, just to see how it compared. It made it a bit sweeter, while also enhancing the cookie aspect I picked up before. YUM! Still buttery, almondy, cinnamon-y goodness! The smell was also to die for. It reminds me of a sugar cookie my mom makes during the Christmas season – she adds almond extract to the frosting, and they are my absolute favorite. The black tea is nicely balanced, and adds a nice earthy note. Still loving this. In fact, I ordered more late last night!
Sugar or no sugar, this one is a keeper. Increasing the rating slightly.
Thanks again, TastyBrew!

Ah! I love this review. This is on my shopping list, and now I feel like I need to make an order from Butiki soon :D
terri – ask for a sample. The only reason i say that is because i purchased this, and ended up swapping it away because it reminded me too much of almond extract. It was good, but i couldn’t drink a lot of it. if that makes sense?

Sounds good! Maybe I should ask stacy to add a sample of this to my order…

We all have different tastes and taste buds, so I’d get a sample to test it out first, just like Sil suggests. I didn’t get a strong almond extract flavor (especially unsweetened – it was much more natural), but that doesn’t mean you wouldn’t.
