I’m going to start this with a story about my day – feel free to skip right ahead to notes on this tea at the bottom if you’d like :)
I spent the majority of last night extremely sick and slept away most of my night on the bathroom floor. This really did not make for a great start to my Monday morning. I barely dragged myself out of the bed I had somehow managed to get into at some point, and I ended up missing my first class. The class with the most terrifying prof with intense information overload each and every class. Delightful. I did make it for my next class, thank goodness. I also had the foresight to bring Bangkok in my Timolino today – favourite tea comfort, and ginger for the upset stomach. Mondays are my longest day, where classes run from 9-7:30p with one 1 hour break. So I endured all but one of my classes today with a horribly upset stomach and running on little sleep. When I did finally arrive back home there was a tea parcel waiting for me, and this just seemed to make it all better – so thank you Cavovorax, and the speedy postal service, for brightening my day.
This was one in the package from Cavovorax. I have tried this one before and it just didn’t quite work out the first time. This time is going much better. I really do love rhubarb – almost as much as my love for watermelon and pumpkin. I don’t consume nearly as much or enough of it since I left home. I really should’ve brought my Mom with me to bake me rhubarb goodies. Why didn’t I have the foresight for that… Okay, back to this tea. I’m much happier this time around with it, and I’m even more thrilled it went into my Butiki order yesterday. I may try the resteep with a touch of sugar like is suggested. Yum!
I’m having the second resteep tonight and it is quite delicious. I’m even more excited about my Butiki order now.
This sounds super yummy! I love my grandmother’s strawberry rhubarb pie and it’s such a unique taste. In a tea?! Sounds heavenly!
GAH.
I want this!
Posts like this make me wish I wasn’t allergic to honeybush
I NEED THIS!
Strawberry Rhubarb pie is my fav, next to Pumpkin!!
it’s not honeybush hun :) this has a black base
52 teas was a honeybush and it made me sad. Though i DO need more non caffeinated teas…this is all black tea!
I love that Stacy does custom teas. That’s AWESOME! =)
This one sounds yummy.
Really, black tea. This may cause my first order from Butiki. Does it have much cinnamon in it?
I honestly can’t recall if we ultimately decided to add cinnamon to it (it’s been a long process) but if there is, it’s very subtle. It’s not up on the website yet as Stacy was waiting for it to get to me so that i could taste it etc.. but it will be :) I highly recommend her teas! If it’s going to be a while, i can always send you a small sample star :)
A sample would be great, though I do have enough tea that I can definitely wait for it to be put up on the website. Trying before I buy might be preferable, I don’t remember if butiki does samples.
Stacy does samples with orders…rather than samples as orders if that makes sense. Though you can often order just a 1/2 ounce which is nice.
omg I want to try this one SO badly!!
Well there’s a giant bag at my place waiting for the end of the month :)
Sil… one of many reasons I’m looking forward to that weekend!! :D
Have I said yet how jealous I am that you guys are all down south? :( now I wanna go pout
March 23. Come on over!
Totally missed this note. Doh! Glad you are digging the tea! I’m so happy we went with the hibiscus too. Not too much, just enough to give it that rhubarb taste. Let me know your final notes and if you think any other adjustments are needed and I will be sending you those questions.
I’m going to try and have more on Sunday so that I can focus on it. I HAVE however, dolled out samples here and there that will be sent to a few people in the near future. haha
Great! What, you’re not saving all 168 cups worth? :P
weeellllll i figured 160 would tie me over. grin
This is really yummy!
I LOVE Strawberry Rhubarb pie and this is the Uber Perfect tea version :-)
glad you love it celebriTEA :)
