Eeeeeeeeee. So much tea! :)
I got my steepster select box in today. Now to figure out what to try first!!
I’m a day late but…yesterday, I got the teas I bought from Shadowfall’s stash sale! Yay! So much lovely tea!
Samples of Brioche and Milk Oolong from American Tea Room! Man, they are FAST! And they threw in a sample of Choco Latte, too – how nice! Cannot wait to try these – very excited!
I liked Brioche when I had a sample of it. I’m looking forward to seeing how it compares to Lupicia’s Cookie.
I haven’t had the chance to bring it out and try it yet, but the price was right, and the reviews are good! It’s this guy. http://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B00EPO9M2Y
A package of what-cha teas and nina’s teas showed up from Marzipan!
And yesterday I got samples from TeaVivre
A new Yunnan from Han Xiang. To be honest I only bought it because a reviewer said it was the tea he had been searching for and had found after buying from 30 suppliers. I understand these quests. Its also interesting to get an idea of someone else’s tastes.

I will. I kind of under leafed it this time. So I will do a proper note later. Impressions are savoury cocoa in early steeps, with fruit and spice apparent later on. I really liked steep 5 apricot,cinnamon and cocoa with touches of leather. Still drinking it :-)
Today I got my orders from Puerhshop and Yunnan Sourcing USA and my swap package from Boychik. She sent far more than I was expecting and it made a difficult day better.

I got my order from Tea at Sea: 11 different samples plus a cute tea infuser. Now all I have to decide is which one to try first… :)
