85

My second Butiki tea super old sample sipdown from this afternoon.

Color me impressed.

I don’t know why I waited so long to drink this, because I enjoy many Butiki teas. I think it’s because I’m not big on cantaloupe. Or melons, really. Except watermelon. And I still haven’t tried Watermelon Xylophone but that’s happening tomorrow. Anyway…. I’ve had this sample forever so I thought I may as well give it a try.

And, wow. It’s so good. For a non cantaloupe fan I was loving this, I even resteeped it. It was creamy and natural tasting and just amazing.

I HAVE to try a fresh batch so this is going on my list for my next Butiki order.

Obviously if anyone can make a cantaloupe tea for me to enjoy, I guess it has to be Butiki.

I should stop being surprised!

Wait…… It looks like I’ve reviewed/rated this one before. I don’t remember that. I’m sure I was equally impressed then.

I rated it as 85 and I totally still stand by that.

This one is a great choice for an order.

I so love this one, can’t wait to find out what you think of watermelon Xylophone, also one of my favourite Butiki tea…but then again, almost all Butiki’s are favourites, lol.

Yes I’m looking forward to tomorrow!

Memily

I’m so glad to finally have a Butiki order in. Steepster has ruined me. All Day I Dream About Butiki.

memily..you won’t be disappointed. some good stuff from stacy :)

ohfancythat

Have you received it yet or still waiting?

TheTeaFairy

Ahhh, memily, I envy you. Wish I was still a butiki virgin, I remember the rush of getting that first order, passionately holding the box and smelling it…ok, this sounds creepy. But the good thing is it doesn’t get old, I still get that same excitement a few years later :-)

ohfancythat

And as long as Stacy keeps coming up with new tea blends there will always be the excitement of getting that new order in :)

And ones like this, which was like new to me because I didn’t even remember trying it! When your memory is like mine, everything old is new again!

Courtney

Agreed! I just got a box with only Three Friends and samples, and the scent was exciting haha. Butiki is amazing.

Memily

I’m still waiting to receive it! Only confirmed final details a couple of days ago, and it’s gotta get to me down the bottom of the world here too.

I think I have literally more than a dozen different blends coming… restraint isn’t a strong skill of mine.

Courtney

That is so exciting Memily! What all did you order?

Memily

One of everything.

Hahaha not really but it feels like it. All the Butikis in my wishlist, the autumn sampler, a guayusa 5-sampler adventure, and a few others here and there… :|

ohfancythat

That’s so awesome! I can’t wait to read your reviews!
I’d order one of everything too if I lived at the bottom of the world….make it worthwhile and all ;)

Memily

That’s exactly it! I probably won’t be able to afford another order for a while now… plus I don’t wanna get Customs too suspicious of me, they might start taking my parcels off me :(

Hello!

I love tea. I love my mini-me daughter, my husband, my dog Wally, Netflix, shopping, and tea. Some other stuff too, but these are the most important!

Some favourites -

My new favourite tea company is A Quarter to Tea. I love the flavouring used and how it doesn’t seem fake, and the combinations are so delicious. Right up my alley.

My favourite teas are black, I love Laoshan Black and Taiwanese Wild Mountain Black tea from TTC. Also many of Teavivre’s black teas.

Butiki teas RIP, I loved how the flavours were subtle and not fake tasting and didn’t overwhelm the tea base. Trust that I am dramatically mourning the loss of this company!

Teavivre, Whispering Pines and Mariage Freres are some more tea companies I appreciate. Along with Davidstea as it was the ‘gateway drug’ to my tea addiction. Though I’m mostly over it now, I’ve definitely moved on from the artificially flavoured teas and am trying more quality straight teas!

My ultimate goal is to try as many French teas as possible – and to finally find a source in Canada for Mariage Freres so I can buy Wedding Imperial, and Black Orchid for sure.

I would like to try any Taiwanese Assams that exist in the world!

Also continuously on the hunt for Fauchon – La Naissance. If anyone has some of this I would pay for it!!! It’s my number one all time favourite tea.

When I rate, it goes like this:

85 -100 = WIN! awesome, I love this and keep it on hand
70 – 85 = pretty darn good but I don’t NEED to own it
55 – 70 = not necessarily terrible but not a tea for me!
30 – 55 = missed the mark as far as I am concerned. Wouldn’t drink it willingly.
0 – 30 = I likely won’t rate this low very often, so if you see it, consider the tea a great big FAIL and probably disgusting.
