From Butiki Teas

Our Maple Pecan Oolong utilizes our Nilgiri Frost Oolong base. This smooth, silky tea has maple notes that develop into pecan notes then finish with maple notes that linger. Some citrus notes may also be detected. The flavors weave together brilliantly and are well balanced with the oolong base. With a little sugar the maple and pecan intensify for a wonderful desert treat that resembles a pecan pie. We recommend adding sugar slowly; too much sugar and the tea will taste like exactly like fresh maple syrup with a hint of pecan.

Ingredients: Nilgiri Frost Oolong, Pecans, Organic Natural Flavoring (vegan)

Recommended Brew Time: 4 minutes
Recommended Amount: 1 1/2 teaspoons of tea for 8oz of water
Recommended Temperature: 170 F degrees

In the bag, this tea smelled like pure maple syrup. But when I steeped it, the maple flavor was not nearly as heavy as I was expecting it to be. It’s definitely there; it’s just very mild. The pecan flavor is also quite light, which I guess is a good match for the smooth oolong base. It was a tasty combination, but not quite as strong as I would have liked. I would love to try this flavor combination in a black tea!

I agree. I would have preferred it to be a much stronger flavor.

Backlog. Okay, so when I saw that Butiki is closing it’s doors, I had to break my spending hiatus immediately to put in my first (and possibly, sadly my last?) order. Of course, I had to make sure to add this one to the cart because I have been dying to try it for the longest time. What better time to try this one out than a crisp fall morning? It smelled wonderfully maple-y with some nutty notes. Oh, and the tea actually has pecan bits in it! Awesome. I was skeptical about the low temperature suggested on the package, but I just decided to trust in Stacy as everyone else around here seems to do, and I’m glad I did because the tea turned out to be wonderfully smooth and maple-y and nutty and delicious. Perhaps this is not the most well organized tasting note, but the point is, I really enjoyed it, and I can see this one being perfect for fall/winter morning pick-me-ups. Yum.

PANCAKES!!! That was the first and, let’s be honest here, most important thing I tasted! It was nice that there was good maple flavor without really tasting sweet. And it was very smooth. Lovely. Thanks Beorhthraefn for the sample! It was right up my alley!

Tried a sample of this. Definitely more maple than pecan, in fact the pecan was fairly subtle. That being said, this tasted fine and will be great for somebody in the mood for a maple-y tea.. but I’ll have to look elsewhere for a go-to pecan flavored tea.

This oolong is a long, twisty oolong with large pieces of pecans, or “pea-cans” as we say in the panhandle of Florida. Brewed, it smells very maple-y and is a light burnt orange color. The taste is all gentle maple and nuts. As someone who’s not crazy about maple (not that I dislike it at all), this tea has the right maple intensity for me. You do get to taste the oolong at the very front of the sip before the other flavors take over. It would taste exactly like a pecan praline if there was a buttery element to it. If that were the case, I’d be all over it!

I got this in a swap from Mandy! Thanks, dear! I have recently discovered a love for oxidized oolongs, and I love maple, so this is a no brainer. The dry leaves are beautiful – very large and jet black, spindly and spiky like some creepy tree’s branches. There are a couple of big pieces of pecan in mine. Dry, this smells like… alcohol. Ick. Hopefully that doesn’t continue on to the brewed aroma! I was surprised that the recommended temperature is 170 degrees, seems low for an oolong to me. But I will follow it because Stacy certainly knows her own teas better than I do! :P

Yay, the alcohol smell is gone! I definitely smell maple, and there’s a creamy nuttiness from the pecans. Underneath, I catch the scent of autumn leaves from the oolong. Well, I’m now happy about the 170 degree temperature because I get to drink it faster, hah! Honestly, I was expecting this to be stronger considering Mandy’s sample was a bit of a generous 1.5 tsp. But it is definitely delicious! The flavoring is roughly equal in strength to the base tea, so I get to taste them both, which is very nice considering I was curious about the oolong base too. It’s maple first, then I get that creamy, nutty pecan flavor toward the end of the sip. Finding this a bit astringent plain.

I added vanilla soymilk to the second half of my cup, and I think I prefer it this way. The creaminess of the milk really brings out the nutty side of the tea, but the maple is still there too, especially at the end. Yum! This is how I would most likely drink this tea if I were to buy it. Thanks Mandy!

I liked it, but I didn’t really find it to be amazing plain. Good with the soy milk, though. :)

I haven’t had the time to drink tea and I’m kinda sad about that :( BUT I’m trying my best to try to drink whenever I can!
I remember a while ago I would drink too much tea, but now I’m like drinking way too little. Tea tea tea, come back to me!!

But thank you tons to Sil for sending this tea my way! I have so much tea to get through and I’m happy to be slowly going through a lot of my sipdowns :)

This just smells like lovely and sweet maple syrup and it has large pecan pieces in it and I’m just so excited to try this! My water is done boiling now and I’ll just… keep working on my assignment so that the temperature will lower a bit.

It smells nice and sweet, but it does have that slight medicine-y taste to it. Hmm I’ll probably just have to play around with the temperature and steep times! I can tell it’s a great tea, I just have to figure out how I like it :)

Today this one tastes wayy more pecan-y than maple-y. Still good though. Really happy I stocked up on this one before it totally goes out!

Tried this again tonight using 1 heaping tsp for 10oz of water. It’s MUCH better! The citrus is mild, there’s no bitterness, and it’s pure nutty-maple goodness. It’s naturally sweet and sits lightly on the tongue. Creamy aftertaste again. I’m so glad I finally figured out the right parameters for this one. Worth it. (:
