So guess this tea isn’t in the system yet…Or it’s just worded differently and I can’t find it. xD
On the label of this tea it says to use 2 level teaspoons…but if you see on the picture of this tea it’s kinda long and weirdly shaped. I like when tea looks like this…but I have no idea if I put too much or too little tea when it’s like this. xD I usually try and use a teaspoon but it just doesn’t work out so well, so I estimate how much I should put in without anything. So maybe this review is super accurate, or maybe it’s not. xD I have a feeling I generally put too little tea when I don’t use a teaspoon to measure it out.
Anyway! Moving on…
This tea smells insanely good. Mainly getting butterscotch and honey out of it. It’s strong so that was a good sign!
As for taste, it’s still a lot of butterscotch and honey. Not tasting too much hazelnut. Maybe a little bit, but the butterscotch kinda overrules this tea.
It’s so smooth and naturally sweet- I do love a tea that I don’t need to add sweetener to! :D
And so we have yet another win from Butiki Teas! :D
This really does taste like candy! ^^ Thank you, Stacy for your awesome birthday sale! :D So excited to try more of your teas!

Flavors: Butterscotch, Hazelnut, Honey, Smooth

My note doesn’t do this tea justice! But you won’t regret buying it! So good!

Butiki Teas

Yay! I’m so glad you are enjoying it! I never know how a new tea will be viewed. Everyone here always says everything is amazing which is no help. I often eagerly await the first reviews to see if a tea is good or not, especially since I’m not always the best judge cough thought Irish Cream Cheesecake was amazing but no one else did cough.

Ost

Haha true. All of us just get too excited to be helpful. xD
I’m sure lots of people will like this one.And plus if not many people like it I’m sure there will be some people to help you get rid of it…I wouldn’t mind buying this again. :P Well you’ve won over one person with that blend so far. So that’s a start! ;)

Butiki Teas

Ost-You guys are really helpful, I meant at the office everyone thinks every tea is amazing. Steepster is one of the only places I can find a number of honest reviews. We hardly get any direct feedback from customers through email.

Ost

Oh okay haha well that’s good. :P

I loved Irish Cream Cheesecake too Stacy! I thought I must be the only one because I had more than one person send me the rest of their pouch when they didn’t like it :P

Butiki Teas

Stephanie-I think it really was just not the best base tea to use since the tea was super finicky and easily astringent if not prepared exactly. I’m still thinking about trying it again on a different base but I have so many new ideas rattling around before considering going back.

Krystal

This sounds delicious!

Stephanie

That makes sense, I don’t mind astringent sometimes ;)

Bio

I’m not too sharp with intros, but I figured it is about time to give it a go.
I started out drinking oolong and green tea that my dad brought home from his China business trips.
Then I discovered Teavana, and fell in love with some of their teas. Eventually I stumbled across Steepster, and a whole ‘nother world opened up.
Have discovered so many different kinds of teas, and have been loving this journey! The tea world is insanely big and amazing! And I’ve met some of the kindest people here who have broadened my horizons in more ways I could have imagined! Happy to be here, and to be drinking so many amazing teas! :D

My rating system:
1-59: Really really not a fan. An awful cup of tea for me…Totally undrinkable.

60-69: Not horrible, but not something I’d ever drink again willingly.

70-79: Pretty good. Wouldn’t mind drinking ever so often. But not a keeper.

80-100: FREAKIN’ AMAZING. Always keeping on stock in my home!!

I like pretty much any kind of tea except green tea. Unless it’s genmaicha or strongly flavored, I don’t like it usually.

My Tea Goals:
To find the Best Caramel Tea
To find the Best Vanilla Tea
To find the Best floral Oolong
To find the Best Malty Assam Tea
To find the Best Maple/Syrup Tea

Notes I like: Fruit(primarily peach, melon/honeydew, Banana, Kiwi, but I’m open to other kinds), Malt, Desserts (Toffee, Cake, Cookie,etc), Vanilla, Caramel, Floral, Sweet potato, Pastry/Bread,Jasmine, Honey, Cocoa, Chocolate, Maple, Nutty, Coconut, Almond.

Notes I’m Picky with: Lemon, Chai, Roasted, Blueberries, Hibiscus, Smoke, Earthiness, Puerhs, White Teas, and Cinnamon

Notes I hate: Citrus/Orange (Everything that I hate in this life that I have to take for my health is orange flavored, and it just makes me gag…so please…just no), Watermelon, Raspberry, Wood, Apple, Bacon, Lavender, Most mints, Pepper, Spicy, Tart/sour.

Yes, I am a picky tea drinker, but I’ll usually try any straight black or oolong tea that I receive. I like most oolongs, and I’m still discovering straight blacks. They always seem to surprise me no matter what!

And Swaps! I’m always down for swapping. Everything in my cupboard is swap-able. So just hit me up and send a message and we can totally do that!

On an unrelated to tea note, my other interests are limited due to health issues. But when I can, I enjoy reading and writing. Watching Netflix and YouTube have also been fantastic when I feel awful (which is most of the time).
I love Rifftrax, Rooster Teeth, Dexter, Hannibal, BBC’s Robin Hood, Sherlock, Doctor Who, Psych, and Parks and Rec.
Love watching all sorts of movies too, but that would be too much to list. :P
I’m definitely more of an internet person and love talking to people on every website I’m on. So if you ever wanna chat, shoot me a message! ^^
