Tamarind Pop from Butiki Teas
95

I love this stuff! Stacy of Butiki Teas sent me a sample a while back that accidentally had some vanilla added to it but I loved it SO MUCH that when I ordered this she included a bag of vanilla powder for me to incorporate into my blend! So I did and let it sit a good long while and now it is bliss!
That is one thing I love about Stacy – she lets you doctor up your blends when possible and is not afraid to divert from her regular blends to suit your taste. Such as the time she left out lemongrass from one of her teas for me since I dislike it so much.
She is working on a special ordered blend for me right now and I am excited to try the first sample run soon!
Thank you Stacy for always being so flexible and inventive!
As for Tamarind Pop with Vanilla. OH YEAH its GOOOOOD
Also a huge thank you to Aplhakitty who inspired this tea!!!

Now I really want to try this with vanilla! I can imagine it being soooo good.

Azzrian-You are way too kind! :)

Alphakitty-The vanilla that I sent Azzrian is pure vanilla bean powdered with no fillers. I can send you a little pouch of it if you would like to try some in your Tamarind Pop.

Wow that is so nice of Stacy! Seriously … I was going to offer a sample of mine but she beat me to a better idea!

Oh, I’d love to! Thanks so much for offering!

No problem. I still have your address and should be able to send it out on Monday but definitely Tuesday if I can’t get it out tomorrow.

Oh maaaan! Now I want this one even more!! Vanilla sounds lovely! Something you could offer for sale on your site, perhaps??

Also – I’m so curious about your blend, Azz! Is it one with hops and such?

Azzrian
Azzrian 2012-07-08 19:12:46 -0400

Yes – Peach Hoppity! Or something like that is what I will call it I guess lol unless Stacy comes up with some cool inventive name. I have not tried it yet I think Stacy is sending me some tomorrow or tues. I can’t wait to try it. Peach Flavoring Hops, Peach Pieces, Guranse. YUM!!

Azzrian-Oooh, I like Peach Hoppity. That’s a great name! I will be sending that out on Monday unless I can get an emergency doctor appointment for Monday. I broke a toe on Friday and its pretty blue.

Kittenna-I probably won’t be adding the vanilla to the website. Its very expensive. I remember you mentioning placing a larger order sometime in the late summer, so definitely feel free to ask me to throw some vanilla in a pouch for you.

Peach and hops sounds delicious! And with the guranse base too? YUM. I agree that Peach Hoppity is a good name, cute and evocative of the taste I assume it will have.

Thanks ladies!
Stacy omg OUCH you poor thing! Hope you DO get into the doc! The tea can wait!

Thanks Azzrian! I’m just so clumsy. I hope they have an appointment available on Monday. The blue makes me worried that the toe isn’t getting enough oxygen.

Are you sure you don’t need to go to the ER Stacy?
Thanks Alphakitty! :)

Man breaking a toe really sucks, the little toe on my left foot is permanently misshapen now :( Hopefully you get into the doc soon Stacy.
I am definitely curious about this tamarind pop, next order I guess!

Bio

Most of my reviews will be “snippits” of full reviews that can be found at http://sororiteasisters.com/
Posted every evening at 6 EST.
I usually try to post the exact date that the full reviews will post however sometimes post dates need changed so it may not always be correct. Generally the dates are correct however.

About Me:

Most of my reviews, although not all, will be quite favorable of the tea. This is not because all tea is excellent, but more so because I generally will not waste my time on an inferior tea. If I do not care for a tea I won’t continue to drink it let alone spend time reviewing it. If you see a review by me you basically know it is a quality tea. Granted it may not suit your specific taste buds, we all like different things, but as for a tea on the whole it is a good one, from a good company.

I am a spiritual advisor by profession.
I have two “young adult” children.
Four cats and three dogs.

Some of my hobbies include gardening, essential oil therapy, natural perfumery with essential oils, and cooking.

I look for complexity overall in any tea, dimensions to the flavors.

I believe tea should evoke a feeling, thought, emotion, or attitude.

I enjoy most all oolongs, blacks, whites, and greens.

I always love to try a good yellow tea.

I favor unadulterated teas but I do have my longings for a good flavored tea now and then so I don’t rule them out by any means!

I enjoy green rooibos don not like red rooibos.
