My first order of flavored matcha from Red Leaf:
Carmel Matcha (special blend)
free sample English Toffee Matcha
Jasmine Supreme
I don’t know what to expect and wanted to try ALL the flavors but I managed to keep the list short until I have a better idea of what I might like.
Finally broke down and ordered another Wild Monk Sheng cake from Mandala, before all the 2012 cakes are gone!
Wild Monk sheng is awesome!! I have almost a whole cake – I don’t think I’m allowed to order more, but I will be sad when it’s gone….
I want to get one too but they don’t sell new ones yet….
boychick Garret said that they weren’t for sale yet but could accommodate. If you wanted both, I would email him… His comments are on this tasting note. :))

Those were all in person stores? I am so jealous!
Marzipan – yep, my other half and i wandered across Vancouver and stopped in at all of these stores and more :) Best thing about him is that he’s happy to indulge in me visiting at least one local store everywhere we go because it’s an excuse for us to get out to areas and explore them.
Wow…back to back in here.
Placed an order with Mandala tea because I’m having a crappy ass week back AND because Garret and the team there are extra special awesomesauce in my books. Now i just have to organise my other orders (because if i’m going to blow my goals, i might as well do it in dexter style….) and see if i can make it a triple hit! haha
Milk Oolong 1oz
Pure Bud 1oz
White Night 1oz
Golden Strand 1oz
Special Dark 2006 Ripe Pu’er 1oz
Pu Wen Ripe Pu’er Coins 2005 1oz
Mandala Wild Monk Raw Pu’er 100g Cake 2012
Mandala Wild Monk Raw Pu’er 100g Cake 2014
I am sorry to hear about your crappy week. The tea always makes everything better, though! Mandala is where I’ll be ordering from next… once I achieve a whole bunch of sipdowns ;)
Oooohhhhh new Wild Monk Sheng – I am so not allowed another Mandala order, even thought I agree that Garret and his team are amazing.
“dexter style” this month is 3 orders, a couple of care packages and missing my month end goal by 25. :))
I’m likely going to miss my goal this month by about 30….since my orders won’t come until May….
I just got some teas from the Mendocino Tea Company: Mendocino Sunrise, Gingerberry and their new Cacao Gong Fu, which is probably not on their website, yet, but they are a local company for me, so I use their teas a lot.
Woot! Not a triple post! hahaha
Placed an order with Verdant because I predict needing more LB if work continues the way it has been so I might as well pre-order.

Dear Suziqzer ~ please come for a visit when this comes in and I will give you samples of all of these ;-)
Lol.. another purchase. You go girl! Some I’ve heard good reviews of too. You’re so kind to offer samples, but only do so if you have plenty for yourself… feel free to hoard your favs!

Guess your dad had someone who was going to drop the big one that’s closest to the house and we were going to come help clean it up from there. Let us know when you’re ready for that. Have they done any more w/the house?
Tell your hubby to stay on top of my dad…he easily loses track and forgets stuff.
The only person {that I knew} to be helping with trees was your hubby.
I have been wanting to try Lemon Maccaron from Butiki for a minute…
Blackberry Lime is something I know intrinsically I will love.
Ok.. I’ll tell him. I’m not sure if Hubby got a phone number from him or not. I guess your dad knows someone who cuts down trees and he was going to have him cut down the big one in front of the house when he was in town… Hubby was a bit afraid of how close it was.

I have enjoyed the few I’ve sampled so far.
