Funny, this one.
I am a hater of all things lime flavoured. (Actual lime, no prob) I’m the one who picks around the lemon and lime skittles, or starbursts or whatever the candy may be, leaving behind a bag full of yellow and green rejects.
So the fact that I bought this is kind of hilarious. I was definitely swayed by the marshmallow, and by the fact that I was riding high on the promising wave of new Butiki Teas!
It’s very limey. The marshmallow sweetness was definitely noticeable too, it softened up the lime and was tasty. Neither flavour overwhelmed the base. But not tasty enough to make me love lime.
I think someone who enjoyed lime would LOVE this tea. It’s very flavourful and seems accurate to me. But I’m not on the lime bandwagon, which is why after trying one cup, this one is going to end up in the stash sale thread :)
If i was rating based on personal taste, I’d give this like a 65, because I don’t love lime. But seeing as how it’s a lime tea, it’s a great blend so if i was going to rate it based on flavorfulness and accuracy and execution, it would deserve an 85 for sure.

may be interested in picking this one up off you, once i get a chance to try a sample from what cavo picked up
I am the person who picks out ALL the lime skittles… they are my favs. :)
So glad I’ve got this one coming!!
oh my god, I love them! Seriously. I can’t get enough of them when they’re around… Then, when you pair a lime with a lemon, oh MAN! I let the candy coating melt off before I bite down, so then it’s all soft and awesome… haha
DeliriumsFrogs, I will be sure to save all of my lime Skittles in a little baggie and send them to you. :P
I thought they changed the green skittles to green apple flavored? Or am I remembering the wrong candy?
One time I bought skittles without closely reading the package, and the lime WAS apple… but, really, I should’ve noticed, because the bag was all non-traditionally coloured, but that’s what happens when you’re shopping for skittles at 10:30pm on a tuesday…
Green apple is GROSS (unless it’s a blowpop, then bring it on…)
…I just googled, and you are all totally correct! They DID change the lime to green apple! At halloween, we must’ve somehow got goofy skittles, because I was totally eating lime then….
This is just wrong. How could they DO such a thing!!??
Ugh, if there’s anything i hate more than lime flavoured stuff, it would be APPLE flavoured stuff!!
All of my green skittles will be reserved for all of you :P

no they did but you can still get lime in some of the non original packages

Reading the reviews for this tea and I came across these comments – whaaaat?! They changed the lime to Apple for you guys?! Ours are still lime in the UK! I’m so glad, they’re my favourites (:
