Official *What did you get in the mail today?* Thread!!!
Today I received my gigantic order from Tealux, my teapots from Umiteas (see my post in the Umiteas thread), and my free samples from Green Terrace Teas: Four Seasons Oolong, Gui Fei Oolong, & Bi luo chun green. Woohoo!
I was mostly restocking a lot of my favs but had to try some new ones at the same time! Some of the 25g sizes are only $2- $4. It’s easy to get carried away when ordering.
People, my Whispering Pines order has arrived! I got:
Ailaoshan Black
Golden Orchid
A sample 3 pack: Fujian Black, Pine Peak Keemun, and North Winds
Plus, a bonus sample (Bi Luo Chun Yunnan Black) and a cute handwritten note :-) Excellent Saturday haul!!
So happy for you!! Having Golden Orchid as I write this. SO GOOD, can’t wait to see what you think!
Well, I’ve already tried Ailaoshan Black and Golden Orchid, which is why I’m the proud new owner of big pouches of each :-). But I seriously can’t decide which of the samples I want to try first! Any suggestions?
My Verdant order came today! Laoshan Roasted Oolong, Spring & Early Spring TGYs, Gardens of Anxi and Golden Earl! Woohoo, can’t wait to try the reblends!
A plethora of riches…..in fact I’m too embarrassed by my tea gluttony to reveal all, but suffice it to say that Garrett was super fast(x2) and Brendan provided some delicious dessert options(+). A giddy pile of tea before me to sort, then difficult sipping decisions are to be made. :)
Don’t be embarrassd, tea gluttony is something we all embrace and applaud here!!
Are you feeling better?
TY TTF, that is one good thing about this crowd (I think), no condemnation about tea excess. :)
But after just one more order in the near future (Butiki) I should be set for a while. I’m sure that’s never been said on here before. :)
Yes, I used to say that when I started out last year. I won’t be buying more. I will just enjoy the teas I have. Now I feel like I’ve got a magic tea cupboard that keeps growing faster than I can drink it down. By the way, Whispering Pines & Butiki are still on my wishlists. I haven’t ordered from them yet.
Amazing haul today: my Teavivre winnings and requested samples, and my Mandala order. Buried in tea <3
I got no fewer than four packages in the mail today! New record! Needless to say, tea heaven… They are:
Amazingly generous swap from TeaTiff! Seriously, this is bordering on ridiculous! She sent: Gong Fu’s Milk Oolong, Mandala’s Milk Oolong, Mandala’s Special Dark, Shang’s Golden Needle King, Hugo Tea’s Full Steam, TeaVivre’s Yunnan Golden Tip, Joseph Wesley’s Dragon Well, and two cute packets of instant green tea powder by Shi-Zen! You are amazing, TeaTiff, thanks so much! And this package made the whole mailbox smell like milk oolong! :P
My purchases from Shadowfall’s stash sale! Verdant’s Spring Harvest and Autumn Harvest Laoshan Greens, WP’s Yunnan Dian Hong, WP’s Golden Lily Oolong, WP’s Golden Sunrise. Thanks again! :)
My samples from Green Terrace Teas! I chose Eastern Beauty, Jin Xuan Milk Oolong, and Honey Black Tea. Thanks for the opportunity to try these for free! :)
And I finally got my TeaVivre free samples! Not saying they took that long, I was just really excited and impatient for them… And I did not expect such a volume of tea! Three packets each of Bailin Gongfu, Fengqing Dragon Pearl, Golden Monkey, Yunnan Dian Hong, and Yunnan Dian Hong Golden Tip! Can’t wait to try these!
Just received my teas from Hapatite and Carol Who.
Thank you so much for everything you’ve done, especially weegee who’s mail came in 2 days ago. The tea is fantastic and the smells are wonderful.
I can’t wait to try it all out!
My Simple Loose Leaf box. I’m reluctant to even open it because then I have to add even more teas to my cupboard. Aargh.
I received four packages during the past two mailing days. I’m having trouble finding a place for all of that tea.
I got my Design a Tea and Green Terrace Teas samples today! Excited to try them. But the bar that I keep my teas that I need to try is practically exploding with tea right now. I think there’s about 30 there from the last week or two. Oops (:
