Official *What did you get in the mail today?* Thread!!!
I got my very first Aliexpress order today from seller Han Xiang ecological Tea Co! It was all sample sizes and they shipped without any markings (and some with Chinese writing) on the bag so I had to match them up with the picture. Got most of them.
I do have a couple of mystery teas with the free samples.
Very exciting! I suppose now that my first Aliexpress order is complete I will be on there all the time!
I received a lovely package from Bird Pick Tea of samples and a very interesting looking herbal dessert mix named Bai Mu Er.
They sent samples of Genmaicha and Peach Sencha. They smell wonderful! :)
I can’t wait to try the dessert, it looks very interesting. It contains: bai mu er, dried longan, red dates and goji berries.
ThanksBird Pick!
I got my super-stuffed Butiki box, complete with my beautiful new yixing dragon gaiwan!! Along with my beloved new gaiwan, I also got:
Boracay Breeze
Coffee Ice Cream
Premium Taiwanese Assam
Flowery Pineapple Oolong
Cinnamon Vanilla Squash
Raspberry Jam & Cashew Butter
Decaf Raspberry Chocolate Waffle
Nutmeg Dusted Custard
Smoked Maple Banana
Kohngea Encore Assam
Almond Indulgence
Lattakoojan Assam
Maple Pecan Oolong
Pu Erh Tuo Cha
……and….
Kenyan Obsidian!!
Whoa….so much tea….
Looks like an awesome order! So jealous that you were able to get Almond Indulgence…it was sold out by the time I ordered.
Mmm, that does sound like an excellent order! :D I also have one of those beautiful Gaiwans on the way – I can’t wait for it to arrive!! I bet it’s even nicer ‘in person’ than it is online…
Verdant order arrived – the beauty of a huge mailbox is that reasonably sized tea packages can always be delivered!
4 ounces Laoshan Black
4 ounces Laoshan Black Chocolate Genmaicha
4 ounces Zhu Rong Yunnan Black
I was almost out of all of them, so this was an order I was looking forward to. Yay!
Yesterday I got my order of Shou Puerh from Crimson Lotus tea and a yixing teapot from the Aliexpress 11/11 sale. The Aliexpress seller shipped quickly and got me the teapot in about ten days.

10 days!!!! Wow that’s great. I’m looking through their store right now. They have some really nice pots. Enjoy yours. :))
I just got Instagram today and I can’t figure out how to get the links to my photos.
Broke my first and last Butiki order out of mail jail today. I’m so excited to try all the teas! I need a week off of work just to accomplish it. lol I really wish I had tea friends closer to do tastings with, tea is so much more fun when shared!
Also got a gift from Anne with the most adorable felted pumpkin and some Eco Cha teas – never tried them. I really need to get an instagram so I can share pics!
And non-tea related but does contain honey! Got my order of handmade honey soaps from HoneyRunFarm off of Etsy. Their soaps are so nice on the skin and don’t make me itchy in winter.
Heh, I hope you enjoy the Butiki order!! I know just what you mean about having someone to share it with though… Drinking them on your own is obviously great, but having it with at least one other makes it much better/more fun! :D
