Sad sipdown: but only temporarily, though! I have an ounce of this currently on its way to me as part of the giant Butiki order I put in a few days ago!
I want to thank Lala again for the sample and introduction to Butiki!
This is so good tonight! I’m so happy I have more coming my way. Honestly, I do prefer Watermelon Xylophone (I ordered some of that too, though) but this is nearly as good.
Also, I just put in my first 52Teas order and I’m excited about that too! I flip flopped a little about what to get but decided on:
Pancake Breakfast
Butterscotch Banana
Very Big Hill Dew Honeybush
Cucumber Mango Shou Mei and
Butterbeer
The other ones I debated were Turtle Cheesecake Black Tea (but after reading reviews decided against it), Marshmallow Treat Genmaicha, and the Maple Bacon Black tea.
The Maple Bacon was a hard call for me, honestly. It’s something I’d love to try at least one (such a unique concept) but I doubt I’d like enough to get through a full pack. And, even though it’s vegetarian, I don’t know how well it’d sit with me since I haven’t had bacon (simulated or real) in well over 10 years – which is more than half my lifetime. Yet, it still calls to me “you have to try me!”. Same thing with the Pineapple Bacon Rooibos (though thankfully that’s not in stock so I couldn’t be tempted by it).
Anyway, back to this heavenly cup of tea, my alphagettis (you know you’re immature when you’re immature when you’re having WAY too much fun spelling inappropriate words with the letters or when you had a tough time deciding whether tonight was a “letter” night or a “Spider Man” night, noodle wise), and the yummy brownies baking in my over. For the time being, this is nirvana.

Marshmallow Treat genmaicha is one of my favourites, but for what its worth, the reblends of it haven’t been nearly as good.
I’ve read only good reviews on it, but my hesitation came from the fact that I don’t like green tea (almost at all) unless it’s heavily flavoured. I have a few I keep stocked, but most of them are very, very flavoured or are nearly tealess blends (Movie Night, for example, is almost all apple bits). The only straight green I’ve come to really appreciate is Genmaicha though (which is why I thought I might like this one) – but even with it I have to be in a really specific mood to want a cup. So I decided against the Marshmallow Treat… Maybe in the future, though.
If it helps – I liked the Maple Bacon LOTS more than the Pineapple Bacon Rooibos. Just a thought, I’m sure there are people out there who bought these because they cried out to be tried and now have them in their cupboards. Post a swap request looking for them, might get you a sample without committing to a whole package. I just recently swapped out the last of my pineapple bacon… :((
Hmm, yeah, if you like genmaicha then you would definitely like Marshmallow Treat. Think genmaicha with a creamy marshmallow flair. But I found the reblends back in the spring to be a bit on the chemical side so it’s definitely a gamble.
I’ll be on the look out for a chance to swap for either, just to try them out. However, I’m pretty content with my decision not to order either so I’m not going to o out of my way to seek either out.
The Marshmallow Treat Genmaicha is quite good. In fact I placed an order today in order to snag the last bag of Strawberry Pie Honeybush and I threw in some more of the Marshmallow Treat Genmaicha (I can probably send you a sample when I get my package). I have a sample of the Maple Bacon and Dexter sent me some Pineapple Bacon rooibos and to be honest I am a little scared about testing them out but also intrigued. I have put them off for a while but each time I see them I am that much more interested in trying them. I think my curiosity will win out soon.
Pancake Breakfast is really interesting because it actually seems like you are eating fluffy pancakes with maple syrup. It’s a novelty tea that is nice to have around when you are in the mood for something special.
I tried Butterbeer today – plain it was nothing amazing but mixed with milk and a fair bit of sugar it actually does taste like butterbeer.
I debated about buying the Butterscotch Banana and the Turtle Cheesecake too but I was worried about getting so much and not liking it. In my last order I got the sampler pack and the Cotton Candy and I am really not a fan of the Cotton Candy so now I am stuck with a fair bit that I probably won’t drink.
I’ve got some Maple Bacon on the way, and already have some of the Turtle Cheesecake. Would be happy to send you samples of both.
You guys are all awesome ^^
VariaTea, if you wouldn’t mind sharing a sample (a cup worth would probably more than do it) of the Marshmallow Genmaicha when it arrives that’d be awesome. If there’s another tea you want to try from my cupboard in exchange I can easily add it to the swap I’m sending to you in the next few days.
And MissB, I’d appreciate a sample of the Maple Bacon, but only if you don’t mind. I can send you something from my cupboard in exchange if there’s anything you want to try. I don’t think I’ll take you up the the Turtle Cheesecake though – I only had a vague interest in it and after reading all the reviews I’m fairly disinterested now.
