drank Pistachio Ice Cream by Butiki Teas
200 tasting notes

So I brewed up this tea and I was SO excited to get to try it …..

And then I got a call from my credit card company that a bunch of fraudulent charges were made on my credit card. So I had to cancel it and deal with all of that. So… this tea never was consumed. I put it in the fridge and am hoping to try it tomorrow and give it a proper review. I’m kinda bummed since I only had a small sample. But, here’s hoping it all works out.

Oh no – I hope it wasn’t from any tea purchases! Checking my account now due to paranoia.

LOL. It wasn’t. They actually made a duplicate of my card. My credit card was in my wallet the whole time. It’s pretty crafty!

That happened to my mom once while she was in the hospital getting an operation—one of the nurses stole her card and made a copy. :/ Hope you can get yours taken care of quickly!

We recently had someone using out card as well – luckily they were very quick to cancel all the bad stuff and send us a new card :) Hope it’s smooth sailing with yours as well!

Gah – scary, guys!!! I think it happened to my ex a while back, but hasn’t happened to me… yet…

Bleh, apparently this happened to a lot of people. This poor tea was so neglected for a couple days while I sorted it out. Does it make me obsessed if I’m concerned about my tea? LOL.

So the short story is, a few years ago I was VERY MUCH into tea. And then a lot of things happened, and I got out of tea for a while. And now, I’m back.ⁿ

To me, tea is the missing puzzle piece for my healthy lifestyle. When I drink tea I am encouraged to eat healthy and be active. I drink tea because I simply enjoy the taste, but the health aspects are just an added bonus.

I love all types of teas, although greens and oolongs tend to be my favorite. I’ll drink herbals if I’m feeling a little under the weather. And recently I’ve been getting more into young shengs (also chasing that elusive “cha qi”).

Unless otherwise stated, I drink my teas straight. I’ve been doing gongfu mostly these days, so I use a ceramic gaiwan with an electric kettle. For greens and some oolongs, I’ll do a western style with a glass mug or regular infuser. I try to specify if my brewing parameters are outside the norm.

I’m kinda strict when rating my teas. I rarely give a tea above a 95. Teas that I really like I keep in the 95-85 category. I’ve yet to give a tea 100 yet. So, if you see a tea about 95, that means I thought it was an amazing tea!

ⁿ – Note: I did step away from tea for a while.. again. But now I’m back for REALZ. Usually I have to put this interest on hold when real life takes over, so I’m hoping for no major life events these days.
