I’ve been trying to make my all time Butiki faves (this and Maple Pecan Oolong) last, which I guess is the opposite of what I should be doing with them, but anyhow. I made some of this at work and it’s just perfect, exactly what I wanted. I’m pretty sure the water was too hot but it didn’t even matter. This is so good. It might also be my favourite SMELLING tea. If there’s any tea I’m going to get caught by a coworker inhaling repeatedly like a huge weirdo, this would be it. I hope it wasn’t just a Christmas tea because this is definitely a ‘keep on hand at all times’ tea for me!!
This is You :-D

Hello!
I love tea. I love my mini-me daughter, my husband, my dog Wally, Netflix, shopping, and tea. Some other stuff too, but these are the most important!
Some favourites -
My new favourite tea company is A Quarter to Tea. I love the flavouring used and how it doesn’t seem fake, and the combinations are so delicious. Right up my alley.
My favourite teas are black, I love Laoshan Black and Taiwanese Wild Mountain Black tea from TTC. Also many of Teavivre’s black teas.
Butiki teas RIP, I loved how the flavours were subtle and not fake tasting and didn’t overwhelm the tea base. Trust that I am dramatically mourning the loss of this company!
Teavivre, Whispering Pines and Mariage Freres are some more tea companies I appreciate. Along with Davidstea as it was the ‘gateway drug’ to my tea addiction. Though I’m mostly over it now, I’ve definitely moved on from the artificially flavoured teas and am trying more quality straight teas!
My ultimate goal is to try as many French teas as possible – and to finally find a source in Canada for Mariage Freres so I can buy Wedding Imperial, and Black Orchid for sure.
I would like to try any Taiwanese Assams that exist in the world!
Also continuously on the hunt for Fauchon – La Naissance. If anyone has some of this I would pay for it!!! It’s my number one all time favourite tea.
When I rate, it goes like this:
85 -100 = WIN! awesome, I love this and keep it on hand
70 – 85 = pretty darn good but I don’t NEED to own it
55 – 70 = not necessarily terrible but not a tea for me!
30 – 55 = missed the mark as far as I am concerned. Wouldn’t drink it willingly.
0 – 30 = I likely won’t rate this low very often, so if you see it, consider the tea a great big FAIL and probably disgusting.

New Brunswick, Canada
it’ll be around most of the year as long as there’s interest from ppl buying it. worse case stacy has said it could go away for the summer and then come back
Good to know!!
Oh man, this is definitely a favourite smelling tea for me too!
