I got a bunch of stuff in the mail today. xD Got my orders from 5STeas and Republic of Tea. Then got an unexpected package from Mandy that had TONS of oolongs in it! ((I’m SUPER stoked about that. Because I’ve been on an oolong kick lately!!) And also got a birthday package from TheCookieLady-she gave me a gorgeous tin and a bunch of other teas, and some cookies. :O It definitely felt like my birthday today because of all the tea that came! And tomorrow, on my real birthday I’ll get nothing, because that’s how life goes haha! But today was rough so I’m glad that things came today-I needed to smile!

Ha! And here I was….all worried that it wouldn’t get to you in time! I’m glad you got it on a day you needed it, though :)

I got my Yunnan Sourcing order. It came faster than I thought! 5 black teas (Guess, I can’t say I’m not a black tea lover anymore.), 2 greens & 1 buckwheat tea. All smell heavenly and so fresh! No wonder, most are from Autumn 2014 stock and just a few from Spring 2014. I love Yunnan Sourcing!

Nice! Did you use small parcel option? it gets very quickly with that.
Enjoy your haul!

I did. I always get an email back telling me I could have chosen a faster shipping service and that this one is slow. I didn’t find it too slow.

That’s because of the season. When I ordered in Spring it took almost 2 months. It was still within the time frame. Everybody wants to get Spring teas

It even has a picture of an elephant and a mountain!

It’s the real one also. The back legs of the elephant on the wrapper have the division line between them. The “fakes” are missing this line. It’s a really nice tea that I need to try.

Wow, crazy that that’s the distinction! Interesting.

Thanks for the info. I wouldn’t have known how to spot it. I did check it with the black light, it passed.

I saw a couple of these on the HK tea forum and they pointed out the differences on there.

I got tons of samples from Mandala! Wild Monk, Noble Mark, Phatty Cake, Wild Mountain Green, and Temple Stairs TouCha. Oh, and I also got a Xiaguan Jia Ji toucha in the mail from a different site.

The WIld Mountain Green from Mandala is by far my favorite so far! It’s wonderfully grape-y and fresh tasting. I may have to buy a whole cake :)

Wild Mountain Green is one of my favourites too. You won’t regret buying a cake!
