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

I came home to two boxes of tea in my mail. And YES the mail carrier finally left them and didn’t take them to jail.

I got my A&D order of caravan and the holiday blend. It came with a tea lover sticker and three candy canes. Unfortunately the candy canes were all crushed up from the box’s travels but they will still taste good.

I got a HUGE Nina’s Paris order. I got a bunch of tea and also a red tin and the pink Marie Antionette tin. The new metallic orange packaging is very appealing. And I got TONNES and I mean TONNES of free samples.

Happy tea day.

I got the first part of my finest brew order: Anji Bai Cha, Ceylon Silver Tips, Yunnan Jin Ya, Ceylon Sangria.

And I went to China Town (Toronto) again. I redound one of the shops I like on Sunday it has a 99¢ department store sign above it and got a glass gaiwan for 2.99 and two double lidded clay cannisters for 3.99 ( they do have larger sizes. I also got a rice pattern gaiwan, some 65ml teacups and a dragon phoenix gaiwan ( I thought it was a little smaller than it is, oh well). I also got jasmine flowers and some mystery black tea to experiment with.

I came home from this incredibly rainy day here in Boston to the second of my Thanksgiving weekend orders, this one from Tea at Sea. I got Da Hong Pao, Mountain Organic Indonesian Oolong, and Mountain Organic Indonesian Black, and, of course the adorable sailboat. Any thoughts on what I should start with?

I picked up my Two Guys Tea order from a friend who was awesome enough to bring it over the border. Seven tins of goodness. Also got my first Simple Loose Leaf box! Good mail day!

I got the Santea Claus TTB back safely, filled with lots and lots of good teas! :D

I got the 2 Butiki teas that I purchased from QueenofTarts (White Chocolate and Coffee Ice Cream) along with a bonus tea bag from Lupicia! :D

So I came home tonight to two delivery card notifications. One is the Great Canadian Traveling Tea Box!!!!
The other I’m not sure about – card number is showing invalid on the Canada Post website. :(( None of the tracking numbers I have is showing that the package is in Canada much less being delivered. What is this ?!?!!?!? The suspense is going to drive me crazy.
I have pottery class tonight so I can’t rescue either package until tomorrow after work. Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!
