The scent of coconut and banana wafting from this cup promises for something wonderful.
I kept pulling out this sample from keychange’s swap envelope and staring at it the last few days, because in my efficiency, I deleted our message and forgot what all she sent. This one was a mystery, and it has been bothering me since her envelope arrived. Today it finally hit me that it was this tea. This tea! The tea that everyone loved. So of course, I brewed it up immediately.
Both the banana and coconut are apparent, yet not overwhelming. AKA perfection. True to Butiki style. I’m also thrilled the back is PTA, rather than the original pu’erh planned. I’ll have to write a bit more later, because I had an incredibly garlicky dinner and I’m concocting ways to rid my mouth of the taste to further enjoy this tea. I clearly did not think through the timing for steeping. :P
Thanks keychange for sending me this one, and thanks to JustJames and Stacy for thinking and creating it.

Me too! I’m out a few of my favourite Butikis, but I’ve been patiently waiting for this one to be released before I place an order.
apparently stacy is sending out samples to everyone =0P. creating this one was so much fun.
Neat! I will definitely be ordering this one. It is an excellent combination.
JustJames you win at tea :)
Oh, I’m not supposed to be ordering anything, but… I will really need to get more of this. I’m so happy JustJames and
Stacy got together on this!
the dynamic for this tea was so funny. we agreed, we disagreed, we agreed…. then stacy said ‘it needs a fruit’. i said ‘no’. ‘yes’, ‘no’, ‘yes, ’no’, ‘yes, ’banana, ’ew!….really…. no…. maybe?’
then she loved it. but i’m normally the ‘ew banana type,’ heh heh. has to be juuuuuust right. proof that it is? stacy and i both love this!
