Butiki Teas: Mystery Teas Revealed!!! Herbs & Spices?
Hey Stacy,
Is it at all possible (I know you are SUPER busy with all these orders) to get an update on what has sold out definitively so far? Sadly I might not get my order in for a few more days (having troubles acquiring a large enough prepaid card in between work; this tea drinker doesn’t own a credit card…) and I’m worrying that I’m gonna miss out on one of the things I want more of.
Specifically, I’m wondering about these ones:
- Watermelon Xylohpone
- Butterscotch and Hazlenut Mocha Candies
- Flowery Pineapple Oolong
- Potato Pancakes & Applesauce
- Lemon French Macaron
- Birthday Cake
- Three Friends
So far, the Potato Pancake has sold out but we did make another version so that should be on our website soon. It has our Taiwanese Bi Luo Chun and it’s the same price. It’s really hard to say what has sold out that I don’t know about, since we are now about 2-3 weeks behind and some orders have up to 2 pounds of one type of tea.
If someone got to the Maple Pecan Oolong before me and ordered two whole pounds of it and that causes it to be sold out before my order is processed, I’m going to… be very upset. There should be a quantity cap.
I’ll cross my fingers for you. At the moment, we do have quite a bit of the Nilgiri Frost base though.
Oh no! I can’t believe I missed this topic for an entire three days. I’m breaking my tea buying hiatus immediately to place an order.
Very excited for your future Stacy, thank you for all that you have done to shape the world of tea! Here’s to the future, cheers
I was shocked to hear this :( I only ordered from Butiki once, but the service was so amazing, especially the care taken to my peanut allergy :) I might have to place an order to try some White Rhino and the famed PTA, they looks so good! I also missed trying TWMB :( Best of luck on your new ventures Stacy, and thank you for all the knowledge and great tea you brought to us!
I’m soo sad that you’re closing, but I wish you the best on your endeavors. Will you still be around on steepster Stacy?
The only thing I regret is not immediately buying several pounds of the lychee oolong once it became one of my staples. =)
I know you’re super swamped Stacy but I’ve seen you mention that you’re running about 2-3 weeks behind with the quantity of orders – I’m wondering if the website listings are accurate? If not, are you just refunding for items that are out of stock?
All that aside, I wish you a great future with whatever you do next. It’s great to see such support for such a great merchant, and it seems you’re doing this by choice rather than necessity which (while sad) is really nice!
i think she’s taking them down as she fills the orders with the last of the tock, but because they’re behind, if you place and order now – it may be sold out before she gets to fulfill your order, at which point she’d refund for the teas that she wasn’t able to give you….
That’s what I thought. I think I’ll leave everyone else to duke it out. There are only a few I am interested in and if they were already gone I’d be pretty disappointed. That’s okay though! More for everyone else. :)
Yep, Sil is correct. Unfortunately, at this point I have no way of knowing what is out of stock. As it stands now the only teas on our website that we ran out of are the Creamy Eggnog & Potato Pancake but we have made new batches of those with different base teas. I am notifying customers if something is out and will refund it. Though if I don’t hear back within a reasonable amount of time the order gets shipped. Also, we could always refund an order if it turns out that there aren’t enough teas that you were interested in left in an order.
Thank you for the well wishes. It is really great to see how much support we have received. This community and our customers are the best! :)
If you run out of something and that brings us under free shipping threshold, will we be able to add something else to get us back to free shipping?
Cheri-Absolutely. If someone falls under the shipping threshold after qualifying I will definitely let them know.
Just an FYI, we will be keeping a current list of teas that run out as they run out on the first post in this thread. Also, we will be keeping a list of tea changes and new products added. All teas that receive changes will receive a new name so as not to cause confusion. For instance
Creamy Eggnog is now Spiced Nog-new base tea (from Organic Huangshan Mao Feng to Organic Spring Twist plus a light dusting of nutmeg.
Potato Pancakes & Applesauce is now Latkes & Applesauce (from Organic Huangshan Mao Feng to Taiwanese Bi Luo Chun).
Check out the bottom of the first post in this thread for regular updates.
Curious – did I get Creamy Eggnog, or Spiced Nog? If it’s the former, I guess I’ll have to order some of the latter later, hahahahaha.
Kittenna-We won’t just sub in a different tea, you would have had to agree to a substitution.
I hope there is, we have quite a bit of stock of the new Spiced Nog. I like this one even better. :)
I came by Steepster to check if they’ve got intl shipping up yet, no dice. And then I saw this, got curious and looked over your teas. I’ve never tried any of your teas – but as soon as I saw you ship internationally I bought about 80$ worth. Thanks for your hard work! I also realized after placing the order that you have teaware :D Too bad you’re closing shop, but more family time is a most respectable reason.
Well, I made an order. Three Assam teas, and one Darjeeling.
That will be okay. It’s my house warmer present. Because where I am moving has actual seasons, I will need some more good black teas.
