My sipdowns may have been slowed up by receiving my Butiki order today, which was awesome. My sipdown tally for today includes:

French Vanilla matcha
Divine Temptation (just until I pick up more next week!)
and 3 samples (Good Feeling, Mind Palace, and Tamarind Pop)

Tomorrow I have an exam, so I won’t be in the house for half the day at least. We shall see what sort of sipdowns I can manage.

P.S. It’s raining! I wait all year for the one month it rains here, and my wellies are scheduled to arrive tomorrow! Perfection.

Butiki! Rain! Everything is wonderful!

Yay, wellies!
Just curious what mind palace tea is? Sherlock, clearly

Courtney

I didn’t do a note because, uhm, it got dumped. It was from Beastly Beverages and was a pu’erh. Pu’erhs and I generally do not get on well.

Mind Palace? I’m assuming it came from me. Zero pu-erh in there, just a blend of Assam and Ceylon. It is a weird one though, I must admit.

Courtney – FYI rain here has been minimal for us. IE not even hikers have gotten even a little wet

Courtney

It’s not pu’erh MissB? Whaaaat? I’m having a hard time with that. It did come from you, well from VariaTEA to me, but from you to her.

Sil thanks for the heads up! I’m still bringing them hehe. But I am excited for good weather there. And OCEAN.

Oh that does sound weird

A few of my favourite things: animals, the ocean, science (I’m currently doing my MSc in biology), travel, all things summer, and of course – tea!

I love chatting biology, so feel free to ask me about what I study or follow my instagram @biologistcourtney!

I love black teas and this is what I’m usually drinking. I pretty well always drink my tea without anything added.

I’m also fond of herbals, oolongs, and subtly flavoured greens. Whites are also enjoyable, and I’m always looking for a replacement for my all-time favourite Butiki’s White Rhino.

Pu’erhs, rooibos (specifically red, I’m more open to green), honeybush, and matés are not my favourite. I tend to avoid them altogether unless others find them so amazing they shouldn’t be missed.

Likes:
Creaminess, toffee, cacao (true dark chocolate flavour), coconut (true coconut flavour), and rhubarb. I’m open to flavoured teas but they can’t be cloying or fake/candy like.

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, bergamot, flowers (rose and jasmine), hibiscus is hit and miss.
