I’ve had a few cups of this over the long weekend. It’s really surprising how much I love it but it’s nice and creamy, I can actually taste the chocolate, and the rose (while strong) isn’t smack-me-in-the-face floral.

Thanks for teasing me with a cup of this delicious tea. I’ll try to get as many resteeps as I can out if it, and then pretend it doesn’t exist since I won’t be making any US order for a while. :P

Damn you, Canadian Dollar!

And I’m ending my night with this. It’s very nice and smooth, and I’m getting chocolate notes. It’s perfect. Now I’m looking up Tribute Tea’s website because I don’t know anything about the company and I’m interested in what else they have!

Thanks Sil/Terri!

And here’s another Butiki tea, gone forever… 160

I’m not trying to sip these down on purpose, but I try a cup, really enjoy it, and gravitate back to it over the next few days. The last new blends were really well done and I have no regrets about drinking them while they are at their peak.

This was very maple-y, with a nice almond breadiness to balance it out. LOVELY.

This tea should have been amazeballs, but it was just bland. Really bland. Maybe I steeped it wrong?

Thanks for passing it on though Sil! Maybe I just need to try this one again at a later date!

162 – another sipdown, courtesy of MissB!

This one smelled so strongly that I decided I needed to drink it soon because
a) it smells intriguing
b) I’m worried it’ll corrupt my gentler teas.

I think it’s mostly fennel and anise, but maybe there’s a bit of mint hiding behind all of that. It’s intense, even after 3 min, but I think this would be the perfect tea or a sore throat. It’d probably coat and cool it and make me feel better. I’d definitely like it around for sick days.

For regular days, it’s nice when you want something punchier in the evening, without the caffiene.

Thanks again! This was a really unique blend!

Sipdown! 163

Thank you, Sil and Terri! I really enjoyed this oolong and it was the perfect day for it. I used my little gongfu pot, and steeped two little cups worth at a time so that I could sit and relax with it, and even with a 30 second steep, it was really rich and roasty. I ended up drinking it for 2 hours! I would definitely drink more!

Thanks for sharing Sil! I quite enjoyed this one! It was creamy and had a lot of christmas spices to it – notes of orange and zips of nutmeg and cinnamon. I drank it before I really had a chance to savour everything, but it was delicious and I’d try it again.

Good. This tea is good. Apparently no one else has rated it but that just means more for meeeeeeeeeee.

I’ve had a few Butiki sipdowns lately, but I still have several cups left of this one. Phew. I love it, and I’ve never found anything quite like it. I shall savour every drop!
