Hit up the Vente Privee Fauchon sale thanks to Dinosara’s post up there:
A Stroll Through The Tuileries White Tea – 70g
An Afternoon In Paris Black Tea – 100g
An Evening In France Tea – 100g
Raspberry Macaron Black Tea – 100g
I only wish Un Soir de Noel hadn’t been sold out already! I love French Christmas teas for their inclusion of maraschino notes, Dammann Freres also has a delicious Christmas tea that’s similarly flavored, and which is also just as rough to get a hold of in the US. I would have grabbed the Apple and Pear teas as well had they still been around. Better for my lack of self-control that they weren’t then, I guess. :’(
Since my last post on this thread I’ve also done the Verdant $5 for 5 sale! That one shipped today. Excited as I’ve never tried them before!
awesome! enjoy all of those…should be tasty!
Placed my very first sTEApshoppe order with Stephanie

Will do! I’m excited that I was finally able to order from them.
Have you had brioche before? If not you’ll love it!!
Nope, this is my first order with them, but I knew I had to try it.

It kills me because there’s a Lupicia over in Century City but they never have the special editions. Hence me getting two of the Hawaii blends (Malama is chocolate macadamia! AAAH) and all three of the special San Francisco blends. And then of course added a couple things to hit the free shipping threshold. My tea cupboard is like a game of Tetris at this point. And:

Thanks! I’m so excited to try all of these!
My first Mandala order in a couple of months:
4oz-“Dian Hong” Black Tea of Fengqing
2oz-GABA Oolong-super curious about this one
Oh, that’s a nice manageable order! :)
(Looking around the room)
This is a dangerous place for me, kind of like an alcoholic going into a bar to order a glass of milk… ;)
I’m really curious about their Milky Oolong as that’s the top rated tea on Steepster.
the oolong is delicious…and i dislike oolongs in general that are green :)
I’m not a big fan of milky oolongs, but even I enjoyed it. It really is a nice one!
Guess I’ll add it to my list. I really like the rating tool, some day when I am rich enough I am going to order all of the top 100 teas and just taste them one after another.
I don’t like Milky Oolong either, but I haven’t had one in years so maybe things have changed!
I am not a fan of green oblongs in general but Mandala’s Milk Oolong and also Alishan are pretty excellent.
It was way too easy to put together my Butiki order for winning the art contest. In fact I went over and am going to end up paying for some of it, too :)
