Ok wow! I’ve been away from Steepster for a few years and things have… changed! Somehow I totally missed the news about the Adagio takeover? Would love to hear from folks who have been here throughout about how that has gone, if you are up for sharing.

Anyway, 2021 is finally over and hopefully this year will be just a smidge better for us all. In that spirit, I wanted to ring it in with a cheerful tea that I knew wouldn’t disappoint. This tea is really old now but it still delivers. I brewed exactly as directed, although I did add an extra teaspoon of leaf to compensate for the age. With a touch of brown sugar to bring out the flavor, it’s still perfection. The rose hits first, followed by cream mid-sip and ending on what I can only describe as somehow a bubbly note that really does evoke champagne. I even managed to get three good steeps out of it by steeping the third one for almost 20 minutes. All in all, a great tea to start the year with.

Flavors: Champagne, Cream, Rose

Welcome back! It was a bit bumpy during the handover but things are running more smoothly than they were for the period prior to the handover.

Welcome back Kaylee! Honestly I don’t think much has changed he he. The Adagio folks aren’t really around unless there’s some kind of problem.

I think I finally brought myself to finishing off my Butiki teas. :( I like seeing that others are still enjoying some of her blends though!
I think the amount of spam accounts has slowed down, but that’s about the only change I’ve noticed. It still glitches out on occasion. I don’t often notice new people participating, so they aren’t doing anything to advertise or bring more people to the site. The “buy now” buttons link to Adagio’s website. shrug

This tea is probably the one I miss the most from Butiki. Seeing it pop up again is cheering :)
