drank Latkes & Applesauce by Butiki Teas
1018 tasting notes

Sipdown (25)! The last serving was full of so much delicious apple, cinnamon, and potato dusty bits; who says tea dust can’t be delicious?

Although this isn’t an original, and I still have the more favoured Potato Pancakes & Applesauce, it’s still hard to let go of yet another Butiki tea. Like so many of Stacy’s blends, this concept was so unique and artfully blended. Now that I’m in the twilight hours of my Butiki stash I wish I’d ordered so much more (except I did; I just drank them right away).

Also, this totally held up to aging, especially when compared with my batch of With Open Eyes which is definitely getting tired.

You are missed.

Flavors: Apple, Butter, Cinnamon, Potato, Vegetal

I think I may have one more Butiki tea left, after today’s With Open Eyes….it’s the end of an era from my tea journey. So sad.

Next time I come over I’ll bring some more With Open Eyes. I still have +2oz left. Right now my biggest Butiki regret is that I didn’t pick up a year supply of Champagne & Rose Cream. What was I thinking?

Awww, that is so sweet! I somehow don’t think even a year supply of that would have been enough for you. I remember how much you loved it. I have a Raspberry Champagne white if you are interested in trying it. It is surely not the same in any way, but maybe enough to fill the gap a wee bit?

Bio

I started my Steepster loose leaf adventure back in 2012. I can’t say I’m completely new anymore, but I still view oolong as a magical, extraterrestrial creature that unfurls in water.

Subjective Rating System 3.0:

90-100: My absolute favourite tea. I’ll impulsively buy in large quantities and hoard like a dragon.

85-89: A favourite tea. I’ll try to keep this one around when it’s practical.

76-84: A good tea, but not one I’m likely to order again.

70-75: Alright, but I may have a few problems with quality, consistency, ingredient chemistry and/or personal preferences.

50-69: Average to mediocre cup.

11-49: Varying levels of undrinkable tea. I don’t give a lot of these ratings out, since I tend to grab tea I know will appeal to me.

1-10: Nightmare tea from the chaos realms. This tea is the embodiment of the primordial swamp, the unholy abomination that is a chimera. It’s very gross and I’m almost positive it doesn’t exist.
