I have the new one. The one Anne just made. And whoa.
When I opened the bag I was super surprised to see such GIANT LEAVES. And it smells so much like Butiki’s Praline Horizon. Score! They must use the same flavourings. However, the base is seriously different. IDK what this one is, but it steeped up fairly light. Well. I’ve been drinking a lot of coffee lately so light is subjective. I mean, I could see the bottom of my mug through the amber brew.
And I’m drinking it plain.
Uhh, what?
It’s super nutty. A little astringent, but honestly most black teas are a little astringent. And I’d probably almost always drink this with milk. And it’s not enough to bother me right now anyways.
Super nutty.
Super.
And sniffing Praline Horizon, it’s not exactly the same. But it’s similar enough. Why didn’t I get two of this? Well… perhaps because I did a mega huge group order of whoops. As in, whoops the exchange rate is terrible and I bought all the teas then spent an extra 30% over what I thought I was spending whoops. Haha. Oh well, I’m happy I have it.
(2.5 loose teaspoons in 13 oz at 195F for 3 minutes)
Edit: As I get down, the astringency reminds me of nut skins. More so of walnuts, but still. So nutty. Very nutty. I bet this will be fantastic as a latte.
