Official *What did you get in the mail today?* Thread!!!
I got an order I placed specifically to get the tea I wanted to share for Pass The Stash v1.0.
I also got tea from Cameron – Wee Snaily Yums. It’s probably too late in the day for me to enjoy those, so the snailys will wait until tomorrow.
Got my DavidsTea order today as well! No actual tea, aside from the samples they included, since I’m on a (mostly) self-imposed tea buying hiatus. But I did get two of the tentacle mugs that I was so pining after, plus a color changing lobster mug for my sib that is just adorable. Also ordered the noble cups to get over the shipping threshold, but they are surprisingly lovely? Much bigger and more vibrant than I expected them to be, and the coaster/lid is a fun touch.
I received six 25 gram samples from Taiwan Tea Crafts—my first order from them, direct from Taiwan.
I’m really looking forward to trying these oolong teas, which happily are packed in vacuum suctioned hermetically sealed metallic envelopes. Can’t wait to cut them open to get the first sniff!
I got my totally free Teajo teas passion fruit Assam sample for entering the photo contest #myTEAcation :)
I love working from home! This little gaiwan came in the mail. I absolutely adore it! Here are some pics of making pu’erh:

Thanks! It’s actually similar to one that MzPriss has. Same idea, slightly different pattern. The link to the cups was recently posted on the Teaware Lust discussion topic. I’d really love to get those, also.
Thanks mj!! I am really happy with it. Outside of aesthetics, it has a wide rim that doesn’t overheat like some of my other gaiwans!
Wow!!! Oh, it is so gorgeous…congrats sarsy! Did you end up getting the matching cups yet?
Here ya go, Frolic

Thanks, TTF! No cups yet. They’re pricey, too. Gotta recover from my pu’erh spree first!
My other Teavivre anniversary order came today.
It seems to get to California fairly easily, but my boxes tend to hang out in San Francisco a lot.
OMG!!! Tea haul people!!!

Wow!!!! You made out like a bandit!! You look ready for a tea party.
So I’ll be over in an hour. :p
Thanks y’all! It arrived at on a day I really needed something to cheer me up.
Sil, you have only a few more days to go!! Then it’s AUGUST!!! PAR-TEA TIME!!
And yes, the pot is called Legendary Beauty and is from Mandala, and it wears its name really well…
teafairy… i love yours… i’ve been looking at that one and mandala’s http://shopmandalatea.com/tea-wares/yixing-pots/blue-clay-heavy-droplet-yixing.html
(and technically teaware can be purchased whenever…i’ve just been trying to keep form getting in to that…)
Sil, I would TOTALLY get it! It is NOT tea, so yeah, whenever, as in…NOW!! It would have been one of my choices, but for some reason, my brain told me I needed a light colour for sheng…go figure!
I got two international deliveries today. One from the Amazon.com Dragon Tea House (not to confuse them with www.dragonteahouse.biz a different company) and it had two 2009 ripe Puerhs. Both small production tea, don’t yet know the quality. I also got a delivery from Berylleb King Tea ( my favorite EBay tea vendor) of Lightly Roasted Lishan Oolong tea. It came in a reusable tin as good as any you buy at a tea store. Berylleb included a nice free sample of another oolong tea in three small 8g packets. Berylleb is a great company. They always package the tea very well. They use a box no matter how small the order and it is always wrapped in white foam wrap as well. Berylleb always treats their customers right and their shipping is good, generally 7 – 10 days to the New York area.
today is my tea lucky day because i got a care package from Stephanie with some great teas. i already tried 2 and i love them. Thank you Stephanie, today instead of spiders i found your lovely package. Totally made my day.
i dont hate spiders, never kill them. but my mailbox is so lonely(its my vacation house, so i dont get tons of mail, some flyers) but Stephanie fixed the situation;)
