I was blissfully searching through my tea cabinet when I came across this yesterday. The pouch was almost empty, so I went ahead and made an extra strong cup. I had it with milk, no sugar, and it was perfectly sweet and caramelly.

I thought to myself, good thing its from a tea company that I know has been around a while so I can order more soon….and then I read one of Sil’s tasting notes about how Butiki is going to be closing permanently. Cue: record scratch breaking me out of my reverie.

I have been off of here for a while but that is truly sad news. :( I love Butiki teas, but I most especially love this, my perfect vanilla black tea. And I am lucky at least that this isn’t gone yet – time to order it rather than despair at a missed opportunity.

Like I said, a gorgeous vanilla black – and one I’m not ready to say goodbye to yet.

Flavors: Caramel, Vanilla

Boiling 3 min, 0 sec 2 tsp 10 OZ / 295 ML

sorry to break the news :(

NO!

Admittedly it’s been a little while since I’ve placed an order (though I’ve now just made a huge one) but Butiki is my FAVORITE. :( So, so sad! Is it shameful that I actually cried a bit after reading this?

Also heartbroken that I missed out on the last of the Taiwanese Wild Mountain Black. I’d been meaning to get more of that for months, but I was trying to save money, and figured I could always get more later…

My tea habits:

*I am an unashamed Lipton iced-tea drinker (mass quantities, year round).
*I like hot teas but only in cold weather (and occasionally late summer nights or mornings).
*I love Japanese greens (the more seaweed-y the better) and good strong malty black teas.
*I do NOT love smoke in any form.
*Vanilla, cinnamon, or lemon anything will usually pique my interest.
*I’m working on pu-erh but it’s definitely going to take some time to grow on me.
