For me, the most exciting tea from Whispering Pines would be Ginger Snap because I LOVE ginger snap cookies and am always searching for new caffeine-free blends. Plus, being a ginger myself, I might be a bit bias :P.

As for Butiki, I am most exciting about Hello Sweetie. I had a cup of it the other day and it was truly a masterpiece!

Now most people seem to jumping around and dancing but realistically, my excitement would probably manifest more like this: http://bringmethathorizondestiny.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/gif-excited-buster.gif.

Both of those are fantastic teas!

Hahaha. Great gif. Still haven’t seen the last season of Arrested Development.

VariaTEA said

It wasn’t as good as the others :(. Mostly because I binge-watched it and they redid the format so that there was a fair amount of repitition from episode to episode.

Oh well, there goes another good series.

The last season grew on me. I enjoyed it more the 2nd time I watched it. Looking forward to when they come out with the next season!

I just spit tea out of my mouth when I saw Buster…. hahaha!
Buster would only jump all around if he had been consuming juice….now those parties are off the hook.

VariaTEA said

That is true. He does love his juice.

Oh yeah, because there’s not enough Butiki in my cabinet! It actually took me a while to find a tea I’m excited to try and haven’t bought yet. The Lemon French Macaron looks/sounds amazing. But I’m going to have to go with the Fukamushi Sencha Tenjo. I love me a good sencha. I’m having trouble imagining a sweet and juicy one, though, which is exactly why I want to try it. Also, it’s neon green!

From Whispering Pines, I’d love to try the October Tea. I really like kettle corn, and pumpkin pie, and cinnamon especially. Plus it’s fairly low caffeine. Now I want some kettle corn though…

I can’t beat the happy jello .gif, but this would be me if I won: http://media.giphy.com/media/53tyNOJtqhGne/giphy.gif

And I shared WP’s contest photo on my Facebook page, but it’s private so I don’t know if you can see it :-/

That Sencha is super neon green. I think that is first tea-related gif!

October is in my top 5 favorite blends of all time. I think you’d love it :)

Aww I love Chip! :D

Golden Orchid from Whispering Pines sounds amazing! Vanilla and fudge and ice cream? How can that not sound utterly delicious? I don’t even know how I haven’t noticed that blend before because that sounds like dessert in a mug and I’m always on the hunt for an awesome dessert tea.

Picking a tea from Butiki is a bit harder since I’ve tried so many of them already. But I’d have to go with Ruby Pie. And though I’ve already tried this, I don’t think it was exactly a good measure to judge since it didn’t have any of the extra stuff that this has blended with it. XD And I’ve also been on a huge strawberry-rhubarb craving kick (I can’t wait until strawberry season starts because I’m gonna try making my own pie. XD). So this sounds amazing to me right now.

…Just one happy gif? Really?! Awwwww, but there’s so many that could express my glee at winning. I just had to close my eyes and pick one in the end. I think it worked out. XD

Mmmmm, strawberry rhubarb pie. :)

I’m surprised that there’s only one review of Golden Orchid on here…it’s been my top-seller since I launched it! Funny gif! :)

From Butiki I would be most excited to try Foxy Roxy’s Banana Walnut Treat . It looks delicious, and I’ve been into bananas lately. For Whispering Pines- I’d love to try the S’Mores tea or the Ginger Snap. Those are both in my flavour preference.

Glad to hear that Foxy Roxy’s Banana Walnut Treat looks delicious! :)

Ahhhh!!! :D

I’ve already tried so many of Butiki’s teas so this is tough. But looking through the newly updated website, I would definitely be most excited about the Hattialli Golden Paw Assam since I am a total sucker for Assams.

From Whispering Pines, the Golden Orchid looks delicious! You can never have too many cocoa and vanilla notes in a tea :)

And as for the gif, I would probably look exactly like this if I won:

I’m a sucker for Assams too! Delicious!

I would love to win Lemon French Macaron from Butiki! I’m particularly fond of almond in all things and this one sounds great.

From Whispering Pines I am extremely intrigued by the Sleeping Bear blend. Pine needles in tea? WHAT? Sounds neat :)

Here is me if I win http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view1/3613588/snuffles-o.gif

WAIT, no HERE’s me if I win! http://asset-c.soup.io/asset/2550/4267_c726.gif

Hehe, cute :)

The pine needles are also sustainably wildcrafted and processed as a light oolong…quite delicious, really. Buttery, sweet and smooth!

Wow, so unique!

1. Green Jasmine Coconut – I love floral teas and I love coconut but I’ve never had them together, nor have I ever seen this combination! It sounds like it would be a fantastic spring tea!
2.Purple Sunset Oolong – Butiki teas has the best oolongs I’ve ever had. I was intrigued when I saw they were carrying purple teas and still haven’t tried one yet!
3. At first I would be like: http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lv717nZfBd1qia8yf.gif

This is too awesome! I love Butiki teas and I’ve been considering a Whispering Pines order for like two months now :D

From Whispering Pines the blend I would love to try the most is the Sleeping Bear because when I read about its ingredients and its description it makes me think of a cabin my husband and I go to whenever we have the opportunity to and as long as the weather is right. And yes, in the summer we often start a fire outside and it’s the most magical time when we sit at the fire with our friends and talk about anything and everything. I believe this blend would be a great and special treat for us to have there on a slightly chilly summer night.

When it comes to Butiki I must say that the recent Lemon French Macaron hype has totally rubbed on me and I cannot wait to try this one. When I read about it I was seriously considering placing another order even though I already made one not so long ago. But now it seems not to be in stock, which actually helps, because by the time it is available I will be more comfortable placing another order with Butiki :D Anyway. Why do I find this blend exciting? Surely, not just because it is so trendy at the moment :D I love the idea of lemon flavored white tea and I think with the “dessert” note of a macaron involved, it is just going to make a delicious treat.

And this is how full of glee and flutter I would be if I won: http://tinyurl.com/mqwb6n4

I also shared the info on my FB. As is the case with others, my FB is private, but I shared it from Whispering Pines FB page, so that can be probably checked from there. If it’s a pretty long and crazy-foreign name, it’s me ;D

By the way – I love all of your entries, guys!

BABY DUCK! :D

Of course you would love it, Stephanie! :D

I’d be SO EXCITED: http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view/324849/im-so-excited-o.gif

From Butiki, I can’t wait to try the new Lemon French Macaron. I heard it won contests and everything!! I love lemons and macarons – so everything about this flavor sounds perfect. I just know that a lemon macaron tea from Butiki would be everything I could imagine and more. Yum!

From Whispering Pines, I gotta try the Campfire Blend. It’s starting to warm up so I’m starting to feel the need to go camping and hiking and exploring and I know that tea would be so great on my next camping trip. I can almost smell it now!

Mmmm, camping :)

That dog is cute! hehe

Oh, MAN, I would be SOOOO excited (wouldn’t we all!?).
So, I’ll get right down to the gif of my reaction if I won…. (Stacy, you probably already know what it’ll be….)

It’s this: http://replygif.net/859

From Butiki, it would be the Champagne & Rose Cream. My lovely friend talked that one up to the point where I’ve actually had dreams about it… it seems so complex, but still accessibly romantic. Lovely in every possible way. I wanted to try so many from Butiki with my last order, I just didn’t get that one on there….

The description for Golden Orchid from Whispering Pines literally left my mouth hanging open…. The Mackinac Island reference (which is nostalgic, since a mug from there in my cupboard, and I use it quite often… a gift from someone who loved visiting there) along with ice cream shop gloriousness! Oh, wow!!

+1 entry for Facebook post. (just a reminder so I don’t forget).

Hahaha, I knew you would go for a Doctor Who gif. Smart, very smart. :D

:D Have you ever been to the island?

He does make the best ‘excited’ faces. lol

No, I haven’t ever been to the island. I just completely connect it to the person who gave me this mug, and they’re very dear to me. I would love to go sometime, though.

Ohhh, you’ll definitely have to go! It’s beautiful! There are glorious views and no vehicles on the island, so it’s all horses and bikes :) AND the best fudge money can buy!

Horses, views, and fudge….. I need to go. :)
