Caramelised tangerine. Tangerine tanghulu! I forget what the other flavours were for this one, but that’s what I get from this. I think it works better with only one or two of the flavourings coming across, it was a bit muddled as a concept before when the flavourings were strong. Upping my rating yet again, this time from 66, because while it’s still not a favourite, I seem to enjoy it more every time.

That’s a sad tea name!
It’s too bad Butiki closed down. Wish I’d ordered back when I had the opportunity.
Yep, I miss Butiki something rotten. I’m following Mastress Alita ‘s prompts for the year (I started in November but I’m doing as many as I can from the whole year), and I chose this for the prompt of a discontinued/unavailable tea. I thought the name was appropriate.
I remember I won the ‘guess the flavors’ competition for this one back in the day. Looking at my tasting note, directly from Stacy, the official flavors are:
1. Base Tea-Fu Shou Shan
2. Waffle flavoring
3. Tangerine Flavoring
4. Cashew Flavoring
5. Strawberry Flavoring
6. Maple Flavoring
Thank you tea-sipper , you’re a gem! Funny, I don’t think I ever knew there was cashew flavouring in this. I don’t get that or the strawberry at all now. I’d say it’s mostly tangerine and maple at this point, maybe with some waffle in there too.
Do you remember how close you were with your guess?
Needless to say, all these flavors were much more noticeable years ago! I had to look at my note again… I got a couple flavors wrong on my guess. I said “sugar” but that was probably really the “maple” and “waffle” I was tasting. I guessed “raspberry” when it was really “strawberry”. And I knew there was a nut in there somewhere. But I did get the base of Fu Shou Shan oolong exactly right! Somehow I was still the closest guesser in the contest. haha.
That’s much better than I did, I got the Fu Shou Shan too (one of my favourites), but then didn’t get anything else XD I think I might have said strawberry, but I said orange instead of tangerine and don’t think I ever picked up on the nut, even new.
I love the notion of a guess-the-flavors contest! I would fail miserably, but it sounds like fun.
It was a lot of fun, but I was mostly too sad to enjoy it because Butiki was closing. If another company was to do that now, I’d be all over it!
