This was a lovely oolong. The first steep was a bit buttery vegetables. After that it was mostly variations of vegetables. So it was a very good tea just not something I would get again for myself as there are other Tea Bento teas I prefer a lot more.

A very nice lemon tea that tastes like lemon cake fresh from the oven. And thanks to Evol I have an idea on how to mix it and make it better (for me). Thanks again Evol!

The closest I can find to my beloved Good Morning Sunshine by Butiki. This is like having a nice fresh out of the oven lemon cake. Now if this had been made with Guayusa you could’ve had a perfect match for my GMS. Oh well oolong works too I suppose I just miss the caffeine levels of Guayusa.

As most of you may remember my addiction to this tea is… well let’s call it astronomical. Unfortunately I can’t seem to find a replacement. Most other places only deal with Mates.. those crazy people!! I want Guayusa! So I’ll have to try to make this oh so lemony creamy goodness on my own. I can pick up plain Guayusa from DT and then I just have to figure where to get the rest of the ingredients. Thank goodness I still have some left!

Finishing this off. I got a bunch of this free during their chai promotion. I would have preferred pumpkin chai but that wasn’t allowed so I thought I would try this one. It’s okay but not great. It will help warm you up on a cold winter day or clear out your sinuses. But I’ll be honest my favourite is still pumpkin chai followed by S’mores chai.

Every time I have a Butiki tea it makes me sad because I’m that much closer to losing my stash. I can’t get anymore of this lovely cookie tea. Full of almond vanilla goodness.

Well chai does mean tea, and it does taste like cinnamon… but when I hear chai I expect something a little more spicy and flavourful. To get just a cinnamon tea is always a little disappointing.

I drink this when I’m too lazy to steep a real tea. It’s very yummy and I get mine at Costco because it’s just cheaper there. I love making my Starbucks latte at home and saving some much needed cash.

Still my favourite Vanilla matcha!! I’ll be honest though I didn’t use water this time. I just threw some powder into a cup full of milk, and frothed. Oh my goodness this is just such a nice vanilla you can toss it in anything!
