BIG VERDANT ORDER!!!!!!

I won the $50 shopping spree they had for the last Chinese New Year. I was waiting until they had Laoshan Village Chai back in stock and MAN that was a long wait. And I only spent for shipping~

Laoshan Village Chai 4 OUNCES HECK YESSSS

And the rest is 1oz:
Laoshan Apothecary Green
Ginger Sage Winter Spa Blend
Jin Dian 2010 Shu Pu’er
Laoshan Genmaicha
Zhu Rong Yunnan Black

Samples from Yunomius.

I just placed a big order with Dragon Tea House, their .biz site. I ordered six different Menghai Tea Factory puerhs including the 2007 Golden Needle White Lotus brick and five different oolongs at 100g each.

ok, so I looked in my cabinet that is chock full of tea and felt a need to order more Hattialli Golden Paw Assam from Butiki…. but I did finish my Dinjoye Estate Assam and my Leaf & Kettle Assam Mokalbari, so I felt vaguely (like a whisp of fog in San Francisco) entitled to do so…. what an obsession…..

I’ve just placed my very first online order, all sample sizes. Seeing as I’m still a tea leaf newbie I picked a selection of different tea types, after more than a week of carefully choosing. It was tempting to buy enough to get free shipping but I limited myself to 12 in the end. (Would have had to order ~30-32 samples otherwise, when I don’t know what I like / dislike yet).

Black flavoured:
Creme brûlée
Mmm caramel
Strawberries and cream

Herbal:
Licorice star

Rooibos:
Coconut rough
Wicked red strawberry

Fruit:
Choco chilli

Black:
Lapsang souchong
Pu-erh (they only had 1 type)

White:
Silver needle

Oolong:
Big red robe

Green:
Genmaicha matcha

I see now I missed choosing a flavoured green. Maybe next time. I’m not a huge fan of green tea tho (besides matcha). Probably would’ve chosen piña colada green tea. All from T Leaf Tea.

I made out of Aliexpress’ 11/11 sale with only $11 in purchases. I got 30g of three of their blacks:

And two cups from:

I got #7, with the clear rice pattern.

Verdant has LBCG back in stock so I used a leftove $10 GC and got

4 ounces Laoshan Black
4 ounces Laoshan Black Chocolate Genmaicha
4 ounces Zhu Rong Yunnan

That’s a lot for some people, but I know from experiences that they’ll all be gone in less than a year, even with the variety of things we already have. Bring on the LBCG

I picked up some things on Aliexpress yesterday
Some teas from Titan Teas to try some of his others.
A wuyi yancha milk oolonghttp://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6342965765.html
http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6345108409.html. A Bailin gongfu tea ( I find I prefer the less tippy ones for some reason)
A wild wuyi black teahttp://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6345024914.html

And some costume Jewelry for fun.

Apparently I will break my no-buy over and over again for last chance Butiki teas!

Raspberry Jam & Cashew Butter

Decaf Raspberry Chocolate Waffle

Heaven’s Trash

Smoked Maple Banana

2012 Ancient Puerh Discs

Coffee Ice Cream

Peppermint Patty

I ordered some Laiwu Qilu tea. I’ve been curious about it as I’ve heard it referred to everything as Poor man’s Da Hong Pao, to caramel tea.

I finally found it at an affordable price on Aliexpress. The only downside is you have to buy a lot of it.
