Butiki Teas

Having a cup of this before bed..yes bed at this hour.

mmmmm! I haven’t had this one in a long time so i pulled it out this morning. Another half sipdown since i finished off the one bag i had and started on the second. That makes me feel good – since there’s a wagon load of tea on its way for me to try. My other half thinks i like tea so much because i get mail, i can write about it and he pretty much doesn’t think i’ll ever get down to a reasonable list of favourites since i’ll never stop finding new tea companies and new teas. lol He might be right, but Butiki teas is probably at the top of my list of places to reorder from and keep going back to.

This Mango lassi is no exception…see previous tasting notes but all in all this is a really nice mango tea. I don’t like it cold brewed as much as i enjoy it hot brewed.

Finally got around to cold brewing this one and its delicious! I added a bit of honey to bring out the sweetness just a bit and it is fantastic! I think this will be wonderful when summer rolls around again as a cold brew. Really digging the way the mango pops as a cold brew with the little bit of sweetener.

So I really need to try this iced sometime. I seriously love this tea – though it always throws me for a loop on the first sip because it’s hot and because of the taste I’m expecting a cold smoothy type drink :) I really think Stacy nailed this one and for anyone who enjoys mangos it’s a keeper.

I’m thinking maybe Butiki has an opportunity to develop some perfumes with all of the amazing scents their teas have j/k While I enjoyed this tea quite a bit – the flavour lingers like a friend who’s having a great time and doesn’t want to leave – I’m beinning to think that i’m not a huge fan of Rooibos. Still a great tea but lower on my list than the others because of the rooibos.

Sipdown! YAY mostly because my Verdant order arrived today and I still have an incoming Butiki Order. So at least that’s one more tea package that I can say is gone…though there will likely be a re-order of this one in the future lol. As always really enjoying the delicate raspbery/chocolate balance stacy managed to achieve here. so tasty! Really looking forward to how she manages to craft the new blend from whomever wins the contest!

Mmmm lovely afternoon tea to help ease the stress of work. I really like this blending of these flavours. Glad to have a little more of this before its gone :)

Oh man the search for this turned up raspberry truffle matcha. Makes me want to have a taste off…anyway just a treat for tonight because I haven’t had a butiki flavored tea in ages. Once again no disappointments here :)

This was a great start to my morning. I’d have gone for something on the stronger side, but when I opened the cupbaord, this is the tea that called out to me. Last night my other half managed to wake me up 3 times with his snoring, something that rarely happens. It was so bad that i ended up sleeping in the other room after the 3rd time, which got me to sleep but not enough. So i’m tired today…so very tired. And busy…and i have to go to the gym tonight because i promised myself i’d stick with it even though i’m not currently seeing a personal trainer…and it’s the last thing i want to do!!! All i want to do is run home to my comfy bed…full of warm and covers and yes please. but instead i’m at work…drinking this tea, and that’s nearly as good.

So another Butiki Tea….probably going to be a lot of these in the next few days as I work through my first order :) This tea smells like a real raspberry truffle! Once i smelled the tea I was a little unsure of how i’d feel drinking it but I guess i should know better by now when it comes to butiki. This tea is delicious! I don’t have much experience with chocolate teas but this is an entirely different beast. Rather than punching you in the face with FLAVOUR! the tea eases into your mouth and casually walks up to let you know that yes… the raspeberry truffle HAS arrived.

Cold brew sip down! Had this hot as well and I’ve gotta say I’m a set fan of this cold brewed with just a BIT of sweetener. It’s got sweet and cream and makes me happy!

Mmmmm really love this one. Happy tea time at dinner!

mmmm cold brewed delicious! I needed a break from hot tea so i grabbed this one out of the fridge. I’m getting down to my last of this tea and it’s been a good run. I really like this as a cold beverage. Going to save what i have left for a hot brew so that tonight i can do a final comprision so i know if this should be in my “summer” cupboard or it can be there year round lol

Apparently it’s a butiki kinda of day! Tried this one cold brewed over night last night and it is GREAT! I’m loving it cold – maybe even a bit more than hot though maybe not :)

Just really enjoy the flavours in this one. tasty tasty tangerine!

This tea makes me happy. Sipping it while watching zombies eat people….life is good lol it’s a small bit of sunshine to end a wonderful Friday.

Todays tea is brought to you by the letters O.M.G in partnership with the colour RED! as in holy crap the sun and skyline is red today. I haven’t been getting up as early in the past week so today was a nice change. I was able to watch the sun come up while i waited for the bus. One more personal training session and then i’m on my own to keep it up. Going to have to find motivational tea! or maybe no more tea orders until i get through a month on my own heh.

I really love this tea. It’s a splash of sunshine in my mouth!

mmmm… I haven’t had a chance to get to DT’s yet at the suggestion of The Tea Fairy for my sore throat so this is my morning choice. It’s a bit of a grey day here in Toronto, and combined with feeling under the weather i’m up to my usual tricks to not let the depressing outside ruin my mood. I wanted something that not only tasted wonderful but would give me something to smell that would put a smile on my face. This tea certainly does that! It boggles my mind every time i drink it just how wonderful the flavouring is in this. While I know their cantelope and cream is out winning award, I have to say that this Butiki Tea is also one of my favs.

oh my god… this smells delicious! Another butiki tea that doesn’t disappoint. Really enjoy the subtle – teas of the teas i’ve tried so far. It really does taste like a tangerine creamsicle!

This is a free sample thrown in to my Butiki order. Thanks! I’ve never had an actual mango lassi, but if it tastes similar to this tea I think I would love it. Although the aroma is heavy on the rooibos, the flavor is creamy mango all the way. This will definitely be going on my shopping list! I need some more decaf options for the evenings.

mmmm finished up the last of this today. I think i might like creamy eggnog a bit more than this in terms of the blending of the cream + ingredients but this IS still one of the few flavoured greens that i love and will continue to keep picking up when the mood strikes!

I had this in the afternoon as well – i’d forgotten how much i love this, which i think i say nearly every time i drink it haha. Just a happy tea to drink when i’m looking for a non black tea.

nom nom nom nom nom godness i love this one! Still not sure if i’d prefer this one or the pineapple oolong if i HAD to choose between the two. Both have deliciously tasty things that i adore!

SIPDOWN!

FML i’m working from home tomorrow just so i can have a tea drinking day before the weekend. lol yes… i cheat! :) Really love this tea and will totally need to pick more up once i drink a few more.
