From 52teas

The ice cream shop was out of my favorite butter pecan ice cream a while back, so I decided we should create a butter pecan ice cream tea!

Here it is: our premium black tea blended with organic vanilla bean bits, pecan pieces and natural vanilla, pecan and (just a touch) butter flavors. I made a big iced cup of this to take home today. I was going to save a little for my wife to try, but (sorry Sheri) it didn’t last that long. I know most people enjoy these nutty kinds of tea hot, but it was a delicious iced tea, let me tell you–a nice bold black iced tea with just a solid hint of vanilla-y, buttery pecan goodness. Yum. I hit the bottom of my cup way sooner than I anticipated.

Another awesome tea . I was never a fan of flavored blacks, however, i am quickly becoming one with each 52teas tea that i taste. With a touch of milk, it’s sweet and gently nutty, and somehow really captures the ice-creamy-y taste.

The black tea base is very smooth, no bitterness or astringency in the least. But I’m not getting much else in the way of flavor. Perhaps that’s because this is a rather old blend. Still, it’s too bad the flavors didn’t last. It sounds like this was a good one.

Second steep yields a tiny hint of vanilla, but still no pecan. Pity.

Boiling 3 min, 30 sec

Hmm, could have sworn that I had written something about and rated this tea previously. At least once. Nevermind.

Buttery and somewhat nutty. And that slightly bitter nut peel of walnuts or pecans comes through.

It would benefit from milk or cream and sweetener, but since I am not doing those this month, I am going with black and unsweetened. No complaints. Still good even though this poor packet rested neglected at the bottom of my sip down basket for some time.

I like that this blend is unsweetened or if so, barely so. Yes, that makes me happy. As I make my way through this cup and the second steep, there’s a slight sweetness that comes through.

Really a nice grounding buttery cup.

And it’s a sip down!

I am enjoying this. It is nutty and sweet, and is good with or without milk and sweetener.

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.

The tea is from a Thyolo OP1 from the Satemwa estate in Malawi. I’ll be having another tea with that base next month (just a hint, it will be a pumpkin tea, since the unflavored leaf has a very sweet potato-y, pumpkin-y character) and this tea will also be part of the Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire blend from the Christmas collection (I’ll be blending the tea with Lapsang Souchong for hint of smoke.)

OMGsrsly

OMG. I seriously wish the dollar didn’t suck so much right now. This base tea is right up my alley, and I’m feeling the flavours are top notch. I totally need another Chestnut tea. Right? (Now I have to see if the preorders for Christmas are still open…)

52Teas

Right. You definitely need another Chestnut tea. :)

rosebudmelissa

That sounds soooo good! I’m even more tempted by the Christmas teas now. I wasn’t sure about the Chestnut tea because I don’t really like Lapsang Souchong, but I do think there’s a decent chance I would enjoy it in a blend. Decisions, decisions.

OMGsrsly

I know, right? And roasted chestnuts are just the best anyways. I love the Lupicia Chaud les Marrons! tea. So good.

rosebudmelissa

I’ve never had roasted chestnuts, or anything chestnut flavored, so it would be a bit of a gamble.

OMGsrsly

Sweet and mild and nutty but roasted on charcoal means they’re also sharp and a Shy and ‘grilled’ tasting. Idk how to describe really. You can get packets of peeled chestnuts in areas with Asian and/or Italian stores usually. Just plain ones. They’re soft and sweet and delicious.

rosebudmelissa

I’m curious about them, but have never had the chance to try them. I suppose trying a Chestnut tea would give me some idea what they’re like.

Sipdown of my Butter Pecan Black Tea sample!

This is from Rachel’s sale a while back (thanks!). And I try to try new teas so fast! But this one is already quite old… Oh if only tea didn’t age. I will certainly take the age into consideration. This tea isn’t bad, but I can tell it would have been better.

Steep #1 // 10 minutes after boiling // 3 min steep
This definitely tastes like that butter pecan ice cream, but it’s on the lighter side. There are a few pieces of pecans in the sample, including an entire pecan. It tastes like pecan, but I doubt it is just from the pecans, there is probably additional flavoring. One thing I’m happy about is that the pecans are not actually terrible, like David’s playdoh walnuts sometimes are.

Steep #2 // just boiled // 5 min steep (accidentally)
This steep was pretty much the same as the first. I expected most of the flavor to be gone by this cup. The same amount of buttery pecan. Not bad, not bad at all. I really need to enjoy the teas I have, instead of collecting more. But it’s very difficult when three tea companies are sending me free samples at the moment.
