Every year or so, I exhume the desecrated husk of my sole remaining Butiki tea and mourn anew. It’s a grizzly and macabre affair. It involves a lot of pining.
The ginger is now very bright, somewhat eclipsing the strawberry, which in turn has mostly drowned out the withered remains of the green tea base (why did I hoard a green tea? I should have gone with a black tea or something. I have so many regrets).
There is still beauty in the residue. Stacy made the best blends.

Butiki forever!
I still have so many Butiki teas I’m hoarding
@Nattie, I don’t blame you! I’d be hoarding if I had your stash too. Some of the flavouring is as tough as nails.
I’m a tad over-dramatic in my note about the tea decay. Wven though this dragonwell is tired (oxidized brown), the original flavouring of strawberry and ginger is still pretty strong, if not stronger! Sometimes, I add a bit of fresh dragonwell when available and that brings back that missing dimension :)
Hey that’s a great tip! Yeah a couple of my Butikis are at a point where I probably should call it and get rid of them, but I would say around 90% are still doing great! They’re fighters (: and it’s just as well too, with the amount I have left!
