Butiki Teas

Well, despite my attempts to fight it, I have come down with the cold that my youngest daughter brought home with her over the holiday. So, this is going to be the last of “new” (err… that is, new to me!) teas that I will be drinking until I feel better, because my taste buds just aren’t up to it.

This is probably much better than it tastes to me right now, so I am not going to rate it until I can taste it with healthy taste buds.

I received this as a sample from Butiki Teas. The scent is intoxicating. I will definitely be placing an order of this in the future. Peaches!

The liquor is a nice yellow color. The taste was so sweet and peachy with the floral undertones. Delicious. It stood up to multiple steeps. Love love love!!!

So I finished up another tea! This one is delicious and someday I’m looking to purchase more. For now, I have to keep drinking all the tea in my cupboard! Strawberry goodness! Reminds me of strawberry yan yans or strawberry pockys.

Still loving this one! :) Great tea! I love how I can steep this several times, and it still tastes great!

I think my mind is playing tricks on me! I decided to brew up a mug of this instead of using a gaiwan and drinking out of my pretty teacup. I don’t think it tastes as great (even though this is a GREAT tea!) this way. Still yummy and full of strawberry goodness. I’ll have to brew it the old way next time!

Yum! The scent is strong in this blend! It smells like strawberry cream. The oolong leaves are beautiful and green and are curled up. Along with the leaves are small pink flowers? or balls. It adds to the beauty and might somehow contribute to the flavor. The steep was a nice bright yellow. The taste – WOW. I can’t describe it. It is sort of like strawberry but with a mix of floral tones and sweetness. It is delicious. I want to make a huge jug of this and chug it down. It is so good. I love this tea! I love the lychee oolong as well. WOW!

It withstood several steeps. After each steep, the strawberry flavor faded a little and the floral tones began to stand out. Still, the leaves had such an intense strawberry scent. I steeped it about 5 times and shared it with my boyfriend. We are both fans of this and the lychee oolong! I am impressed yet again! woo!

I posted some photos on flickr. Old photos are there as well: http://www.flickr.com/photos/clanez/5340164745/

Ah! This is my favorite lychee tea! I’ll be making a larger purchase in the future for sure! I was a little hesitant to use up the leaves, but I managed to get several steeps from it! :)

It is GORGEOUS outside. To celebrate, I am drinking Butiki Teas’ Lychee Oolong. This is perfect. I love this tea. LOVE! <3

My boyfriend and I shared multiple steeps of this! Yummy! I love this tea. I want it to last a long time!

Lychee!! I love lychee! The aroma of this tea is intoxicating. As the dark green leaves unfurled, the scent hit me in the face once again! I knew it was love. The liquor is a nice bright yellow color. The wet leaves are pretty and medium large sized. A little goes a long way. Upon tasting it, I tasted the lychee Ive been missing this whole time. It is very sweet and juicy and has a nice green, earthy and floral tone as I sip more and more. I steeped this about 4 times, and the lychee flavor became lighter and the florals became stronger.. :)

Very excellent blend! I am very pleased and impressed.

Ahhhhhh! YUM!

White Peaches! Tastes JUST LIKE White Peaches! Sweet and juicy! Very nice!
I want to go on record saying that I think Butiki has some of the BEST flavored oolongs I have tasted so far! YUM!

If you like Peach – try this! If you are looking for a nicely flavored Oolong…TRY THIS!

squeaky clean – highly flavored -but still true Oolong! YUM!

Pleasantly sweet aftertaste! Lovely!

Smells like fresh peas and flowers!

Tastes delicate, slightly sweet but floral yet a different floral taste than most. Leaves a half floral, half fresh pea type aftertaste. Lovely flowering tea! I think this is a goodie!

My stomach feels a bit uneasy so I decided to try this and see if it helps.

The flavor is quite nice. The ginger is a little spicy, but not overpowering. I can’t really taste much from the rooibos, perhaps a little bit of the woody/nutty taste in the background but it is certainly not a dominant presence. There is a sweet taste to this too that really makes this very yummy. It’s a lot sweeter than I thought it would be.

It’s really quite pleasant and as far as my stomach goes, I think it’s doing the job!

My first experience with this tea company and it’s a good one. This is a pleasant chai blend that is strong and boldly spiced, but not overly spicy. The black tea base has a good strength that stands up well to the addition of milk (this one is definitely better as a latte!) Smooth and rich, this has a really nice flavor to it.

2nd infusion…

A little less Strawberry Flavor but still a good deal of flavor! I can taste the Oolong more and it’s a bit green tea tasting even…like leafy green esque. I still really like this!

LOVE this!!!!

This has the lil pearls I have seen in some Cherry Blossom Green Teas and I think they are lovely! The aroma is excellent! The Oolong Leaves are screaming multiple infusions! I will put that to the test! For the first infusion this is a highly flavored oolong. The strawberry tastes are wonderful! They are sweet without ANY trace of sour or bitterness. Very sweet and very nice! This is awesome hot or cold!

I’m totally diggin’ Butiki Teas Flavored Oolongs! So far every tea/tisane I have had of theirs is wonderful! I really like this company!!!

Ah…refreshing!

AWESOME!
:)

Drinking to get the after taste of the last tea out of my mouth! This did the trick! Also…full review:

I have been looking for a Mint Oolong for a LONG time like this one! Strong Mint and plump Oolong…plain and simple…well, not really plain…but simple. It’s the classic case of K>I>S>S> and it works! If you are like me and LOVE mint you will probably like this one! The mint is intense but that is EXACTLY what I was looking for being a MINT LOVER and all. Because there are not many Mint Oolongs on Steepster or many that I have tried or are readily available I am rating this high…not only for those reasons but because I DO like this very much! Very refreshing, very mint, very tasty!

Just finishing a cup! Just as good as I remember it! See previous notes…special thanks to Azzrian for a bit more of this one! YUM2daTUM!

YUM!
So smooth! So Creamy! So delightful! LOVELY Creme and Coconut and lighter but still present on the ‘pie’ part but a true treat! WOW!
