Sipdown!

Oh yeah I really like this. It’s very flavorful, honey, malt, raisins…yum.

Definitely on my “must have” list, though I’m swimming in so much tea right now that it will be awhile before I can justify my huge Butiki order. Though a sale would sway me, obviously. I’ve heard rumors.

Thanks for sharing this, Cavocorax, and reminding me why it’s been on my wishlist forever!

I do wish it brewed up a little darker, like my mind expects an Assam to be, but it’s so delicious that I can’t really complain. It made for a good two cups this morning with breakfast/lunch!

Yep, there are rumours, lol.

Butiki sale, what?! I have a growing list here. I’ll be Butiki ready soon enough.

Apparently a birthday thing has happened before in July? I wait with bated breath!

Butiki Teas

Well, we typically have sale on my birthday every year….

That’s the rumour I heard :)

Butiki Teas

This year’s sale won’t be quite as good as last year’s since we have yet to adjust our shipping prices to the new (awful) shipping rates and have been losing money shipping to the west coast (prices have nearly doubled). Still trying to hold out and not raise rates.

Awww. Sorry to hear that! I appreciate your not wanting to raise the shipping rates, but if you do, I understand. You’re not allowed to go out of of business because where else will I get Hello Sweetie, etc?

Butiki Teas

Shipping is just dipping into a bit of our profits, nothing serious but it does sting a little. :) I try not to raise prices, even with the teas. Almost every year the prices go up, this year the prices are a tad more significant with some of our Chinese and Taiwanese teas but we have been pretty good about keeping consistent prices. Some of our teas have had the same prices since 2008.

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.
