Jan. 10th, 2015
I was so curious about The Black Lotus. Even the name is awesome. The reviews are great. It arrived here fast – loving the design of the bag. So sad Butiki is closing right when I am discovering them.
I brewed this twice – the first time I must have done it too hot a steep and too little as it wasn’t quite str...

Jan. 10th, 2015

At first sip I didn’t get much but more came clea...

The aroma is intensely sweet, perfec...

Jul. 22nd, 2014
The aroma is leafy, like fresh vegetation, this fades to vanilla sweetness and a nutty tone. At the end of the sniff the aroma is sweet and a touch floral. I do not smell much in the way of tamarind, but it has been a long time since I sniffed any.
Tasting this tea gave me a bit of a surprise, because it reminds me ...
