Well, I ended up staying on a double shift at work. I knew that would happen! So my tea-drinking has been pushed back to tomorrow, or possibly later because I’m having to book an emergency appointment with the dentist to have my wisdom tooth removed. I hope they can fit me in, because I’ve been in agony for a week now and it only seems to be getting worse. I was determined to fit at least one tea in tonight, though, and I went with this one because it’s one I’ve been staring at for days now wanting to drink.
This is delicious. I am in total agreement with those saying it’s their favourite Butiki pumpkin tea. It tastes exactly like a pumpkin spice latte!! I can’t even begin to pick apart the notes because my brain is just screaming at me ‘pumpkin spice latte pumpkin spice latte pumpkin spice latte’ over and over again. I didn’t want to risk adding sugar, so I’m not sure how that might have affected the flavour, but I bet it would be sooo good. I want to try this tea so many ways. I want to cold brew it, make it into a latte, make tea syrup, add sugar, add honey, add maple syrup and golden syrup… I wish I had more than 1/2 an oz because I’m already sad that I won’t be able to try most of those things. The butterscotch is the least prominent note and adds a little syrupy sweetness, but the pumpkin and coffee flavours blend together seamlessly, neither outshining the other. Honestly if I closed my eyed and ignored how much thinner the liquid is, I would truly believe I was drinking a pumpkin spice latte. Happy sigh.
Basically, pumpkin spice latte pumpkin spice latte pumpkin spice latte.

Hope you get the care you need at the dentist. I had a tooth extraction just before Christmas and it was painful but necessary. My husband was my saviour and made me a bunch of homemade soups and health shakes and got me all my favorite nut icecreams. Good luck to you:) I wish Butiki Teas was still in business – I keep seeing everyone post about how great they are and was sad to look on their website and see they had closed shop.
Thanks greenteafairy and Amie! I have an appointment for tomorrow morning, so it’s not too bad. Amie you’re lucky to have such a wonderful husband! I hope I can coerce someone into doing the same for me, haha. Sorry about the Butiki posts! They are a huge miss. As far as I’m concerned no other company comes close to what they did. I’ve heard good things about A Quarter to Tea, but never tried them myself so I can’t speak for them.
Good luck with the dentist! I hope you can get in tomorrow, and I hope it’s not too rough.
