Official *What did you get in the mail today?* Thread!!!
Oh my god. It’s been a couple of intense mail days.
Yesterday I got two packages from Yunomi, with matcha, a pile of samplers and big packages of houjicha and karigane for my sweetie.
Today my Teabox order arrived. The box is gigantic and contains 135 teas. It’s going to be a hell of a task to get them all logged here.
And I also got a couple of other non-tea packages from black friday shopping. Yay!
I got my Zen Tea order and my Golden Moon order. My cupboard is starting to groan and I still am waiting on six more orders from Black Friday. Time to do some rearranging…
I got my Yunomi subscription package for November and my free French Vanilla Matcha sample from Red Leaf. :)
Yes, they’re doing a one-time sample for each customer. They restock them each day and you can choose from Caramel and French Vanilla.

I got my sample as well…unfortunately, the bag burst open and made quite a mess inside the envelope. :( I was able to salvage enough for a couple of matcha lattes, though!
Mine burst, too!! I was so sad! I got out just enough for one serving :( It’s okay. At least I’ll get to try it at all. When I picked my sample, there were more flavor options available. I got cheesecake.
Aww, bummer! :( Sounds like they need to find a better packaging option for their samples. I got almond, but was very tempted by the cheesecake!
I’ve quite enjoyed my sample so far, and am now pondering what other flavors I’d like to try (mmm… butterscotch!). It’s a pity that Red Leaf doesn’t offer sample sizes.
I got my Black Friday order from Beautiful Taiwan Tea and my Cyber Monday order from Yunnan Sourcing. The weekend is going to be tasty as heck. The only glitch in the whole thing is I got a ripe mini cake from YS when I ordered a raw mini cake, but the one I got gets pretty good reviews and the price is 20 cents different so I’m not sweating it. I think I need to go to bed so I can wake up and hit the gaiwan.
Yesterday, I got my Black Friday order from Butiki:
Boracay Breeze
Apricot Guayusa
Blackberry Lime Guayusa
Cider Guayusa
Good Morning Sunshine
Tangerine Creamsicle
Today, I got my Cyber Monday order from Lupicia :)
Muscat Oolong
Pineapple Oolong
Melon Oolong
Kotobuki (restock)
Momo
White Christmas
Rum Raisin
Sunny Fruits Puer (restock)
Chocolate & Strawberry Puer
Cinnamon Cookie Puer
Plum Barley
Had so much fun putting them all away!

I really appreciate Amoda and that they offer tea from several companies that I can order for 1 shipping charge. I’m drinking JW 04 Dian Hong right now. Mighty good!
