Official *What did you get in the mail today?* Thread!!!
Yesterday I got an AWESOME box from boychik!!!
I forgot to post earlier in the week that I received a shared group TeaUrchin Puerh order from Yang-Chu
And today there was a Red Leaf box addressed to my husband (my birthday is a week from Saturday!) But I have no idea what is inside it! :D
Mandala arrived with teaware and a selection of tempting teas to try……which one to break out first? :)
1oz Black Beauty
1oz Yellow Buds
1oz Special Dark
1oz Milk oolong
100g Wild Monk
samples of Valley Peak – green
Tie Guan Yin – oolong
Jin Xuan – oolong
Plus…….7oz glass teapot, sharing pitcher, porcelain gaiwan, strainer.
Happy Boy here today :)
2012
Think I may have to get another, one to keep and one to try from time to time :)
that is what I have. And i have 2 cakes. one to keep(hoard). Garret said it not that many left;(
he also sent me a sample of 2014. i should try one of these days.
Got my order from Zen Tea. Holy cats that was fast. Lol. I only ordered on Sunday.
For some reason I was thinking the 20g samples I was going to get were going to be little, especially considering the price. When I opened the box I was so surprised. These were normal looking sized packages. I thought there had been a mistake so I went and weighed them. XD 20g each so no mistake there. (2 were a bit light of 20g, but I’m not upset over it considering what I paid for them. Lol)
Now I just have to work through the teas I’ve set aside to get through first before opening any of this new stuff. Lol!
You must have read my tasting note earlier ;). I got my order today too & decided I wouldn’t open anything until I had some sipdowns. 1 sipdown = 1 tea opened.
I caved and opened one because I was curious about it from the reviews I had read. Now to be good from here on out !Lol. I put the box up on top of the rest of my tea bins so it’s harder to reach. I’m counting on my general laziness to go for the stuff on the counter that I don’t have to practically get a stool to reach. XD
Today was a good day. Two packages!
I got my Whispering Pines order:
Huang Zhi Xiang Phoenix Mountain Oolong
Spring Jade Tieguanyin
Sunlight
And I got a surprise package from my friend, Colin, from his last trip to China for a while. It’s full of little packages that appear to be Iron Goddess Oolong Tea from Bama Tea. (This is what I think it says…with a little help from google.)
Hey guys I got my Zen tea order today as well! I bought a Korean Sejak and splurged on a kyusu. But I also got my re-order of Sencha Ashikubo from Camellia Sinensis, this is the tea that gives me delusions of youth when taken after a nap, I feel that good. I also bought a TEENY kyusu from them, a brand new item to the website, only 60 ml, it looks like a child’s tea set item. Paid only $12 for it, but I see now the site raised the price to $14, I guess I wasn’t the only one to hop on this item. I plan to use it to test my puerh cakes or brew up the fannings that drop from them, it is a taster pot, smaller than my Yixing pots and even my gaiwan.
Quick question because I’m curious. Which kyusu are you talking about? I checked the site and all the ones I see are $25 and up.
On Camellia Sinensis, go to Teaware, Teapots, and then page 2. It is the Senchado Blanc Creme.
Ohhh. For some reason I thought you meant Zen Tea. I totally didn’t notice the shift from you talking about Zen Tea to Camellia Sinensis. Lol!
Formsa Jade Oolong from Mountain Tea AND a yixing pot from Enjoying Tea. Yay :D
