Official *What did you get in the mail today?* Thread!!!

My samples from Cameron B. that she sent in exchange for the DT Christmas Samples I picked up for her arrived sometime today while I was at work. It’s 1AM now, so no time to try one out – but likely tomorrow I’ll do that.

I had a great mail day today. I received both my etsy orders!!!!

They are all just amazing – fantastic vendors, amazing artists. I could not be happier – ok I will be happier once there is tea in them. :))

I received an awesome gift in the mail.

A while ago, Scribbles had sent me a bunch of Joseph Wesley tea samples, which I had been reviewing here. Joseph Wesley himself contacted me about one of my reviews, and offered to send me a sample of tea to review. And today I found in my mailbox a small box containing a 50g tin of Joseph Wesley 01 Darjeeling. It was so very thoughtful. I am looking forward to trying and reviewing it.

My Whispering Pines order arrived :D I’m so excited… It had:

Golden Orchid
Cocoa Amore
Golden Snail
Elderwood
2013 Ontario 1357 Puerh
2012 Huron Gold Puerh
Arbor Mist

I can’t wait to try them all :D Now that my Verdant order has almost run out, and my next Butiki one is a while away, I’ll really be able to focus on them!

I got a Balin Gongfu tea from Aliexpress.

The seller shipped very quickly. It is the first order I received from my Nov. 11th Ali binge.

The tea is pretty nice it falls to the fruity, caramel spectrum of this style of tea.

I got my last Butiki order. I feel like I would have purchased less tea for Black Friday if I had seen the amount in person I had ordered from Butiki…so it is a good thing I ordered first. :-)

Received the only order I made on 11/11 today. Nicely packaged from Ali seller Titan Trading Co.

Arrived home from vacation to find two claims for mail jail but also my swap from JoonSusanna and surprise tea from MissB! yaaaay! for coming back to tea excitement :)

Packages from Butiki and Teavana in my mailbox tonight! :D

I got some lovely samples from Nicole – she sent me Earl Grey Polish (Kusmi), Honey Black (Beautiful Taiwan), and Blueberry Coconut (Lov Organic). Thanks Nicole! :)
