Pumpkin Butterscotch Coffee

A solid tea with a lovely pumpkin flavour. I also detect a spice in here, cinnamon or clove? Very Autumnal feel to it. The butterscotch is so light in the aftertaste that you hardly recognize it and the coffee is practically non-existant. The white tea itself, shfts back and forth from smooth to bitter, depending on any given sip. Overall, it’s good. Not my favourite from Stacy but a stable offering nonetheless.

Well, I ended up staying on a double shift at work. I knew that would happen! So my tea-drinking has been pushed back to tomorrow, or possibly later because I’m having to book an emergency appointment with the dentist to have my wisdom tooth removed. I hope they can fit me in, because I’ve been in agony for a week now and it only seems to be getting worse. I was determined to fit at least one tea in tonight, though, and I went with this one because it’s one I’ve been staring at for days now wanting to drink.

This is delicious. I am in total agreement with those saying it’s their favourite Butiki pumpkin tea. It tastes exactly like a pumpkin spice latte!! I can’t even begin to pick apart the notes because my brain is just screaming at me ‘pumpkin spice latte pumpkin spice latte pumpkin spice latte’ over and over again. I didn’t want to risk adding sugar, so I’m not sure how that might have affected the flavour, but I bet it would be sooo good. I want to try this tea so many ways. I want to cold brew it, make it into a latte, make tea syrup, add sugar, add honey, add maple syrup and golden syrup… I wish I had more than 1/2 an oz because I’m already sad that I won’t be able to try most of those things. The butterscotch is the least prominent note and adds a little syrupy sweetness, but the pumpkin and coffee flavours blend together seamlessly, neither outshining the other. Honestly if I closed my eyed and ignored how much thinner the liquid is, I would truly believe I was drinking a pumpkin spice latte. Happy sigh.

Basically, pumpkin spice latte pumpkin spice latte pumpkin spice latte.

Sipdown, alas. This tea still tastes of pumpkin and coffee despite its age. Some brown sugar amplifies the flavor nicely. I even got a second steep out of it, though that benefited from some pumpkin agave. I’m sad to see another Butiki go but it’s about time.

This tea, more than any other I’ve tried, really did taste like pumpkin. And butterscotch, and spices. There’s something about Butiki’s coffee flavoring, though, that tasted off to me. I can’t describe it, but I noticed it in Coffee Ice Cream too. While I didn’t care for that blend, I still enjoyed this one quite a bit.

Thank you so much for a surprise sample of this one, TheLastDodo! It’s one I haven’t tried and I really wanted to. :D There seemed to be about a tablespoon remaining, hard to judge with these long leaves. Plenty of pumpkin flakes in the bottom of the pouch – yum yum (made sure to cut the pouch open to get at all the flakes). This is a superb cup. The white tea are those long fuzzy sickles. I was worried that the 3 1/2 minute steep would ruin the white tea, but not at all. I’m not sure I can specifically distinguish the butterscotch and the coffee but the pumpkin is there. I can describe the flavor as buttery but then I realized “butter” is in “butterscotch”! The brew color is pale yet cloudy, probably from all those pumpkin flakes. Very sweet and could easily be a dessert in itself! The second steep is delicious as well, maybe getting slight hints of coffee when it cools. Not many pumpkin blends can beat Butiki – actual pumpkin flakes. Another amazing Butiki blend.
Steep #1 // 25 minutes after boiling // 3 1/2 minute steep

One of the teas I got from CrowKettle this past weekend, and this is a winner! This is very similar to the Buttersotch Mocha Candies (pretty sure I got that wrong, or only partly right) but here the mocha is replaced but the coffee, and yet the three flavors blend together so well. The butterscotch adds a touch of sweetness to the coffee, while the pumpkin is smooth and mellows the coffee, but marrying it with a sort of warm earthiness. I do feel the coffee is the most present note, but it really isn’t in your face at all. If any of that made sense.

Of the pumpkin teas, this is probably my favourite. Can’t wait to have more!

This tea is certainly less delicious in a travel mug. But, once I figured out what it could be, very clearly identifiable as a Butiki pumpkin tea. Hahahaha.

Butiki’s Pumpkin Creme Brulee has been my favorite pumpkin tea, but now that I’ve sampled this one I think I like it even better! The leaves are long and slender smell heavily of pumpkin. Brewed, this tea is smooth and buttery and sweet. The butterscotch hits my tongue first, followed by incredibly natural pumpkin flavor (how does Stacy do that???) and a light espresso aftertaste. I’d take a cup of this tea over a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte any day of the week!

It’s freezing, and I just got back from grocery shopping. Even though I don’t normally have caffeine at night, I really wanted to have one of my Butiki Teas out of my final Butiki order box (It’s still sitting on my table, because I don’t want to completely put everything away….it feels more special taking them out of the box each time. ha!).
This tea is fantastic. I absolutely love the coffee note with the pumpkin. I’m thinking this is my favourite pumpkin tea, honestly. So, the search is over for my #1 pumpkin, but I won’t be able to ever restock it. That’s sad….but it makes this little pouch of tea sooooo special. I will be hoarding this one. lol
I’m on my second steep right now, and the cup tastes just as good as the first.
I love this tea!! :)))

this is just what the doctor needed. the perfect balance of coffee, pumpkin spice and a little sweetness to bring it all together. yay for taking a break to enjoy a more familiar tea. :)
