Official *What did you get in the mail today?* Thread!!!
I received my second Dragon Tea House order today. Still love the care in the packaging.
You must have ordered something fragile if you are talking about care in packaging. When I order just tea it comes in a heavy manilla envelope with bubble wrap, no box. They do package breakables very well though.
Yes both orders were teaware and it was not only well packaged to prevent breakage, but it was neatly packaged – looks like someone took some time and care in doing it. Have been impressed with them.
I recently ordered a big breakable from them, a 1850ml ceramic tea kettle. It arrived very well packaged which was good because large fragile items have a reputation for breaking in transit. This one arrived in the proper number of pieces. No chips or cracks.
Yesterday, I received my first Whispering Pines order (CM):
1 oz. Fujian Black
4 oz. of North Winds
1 cake of 2012 Huron Gold Needle Shou Pu-erh
8 oz. 2013 Ontario 1357 Shou Pu-erh
You are going to like the 2012 Huron Gold Needle, it was good. I am thinking of ordering a tong of ten cakes later on.
Nice! The Fujian Black was out of stock when I placed my order, but I want to pick some up before the new year. Hopefully it stay in stock until then! :)
Fujian Black is currently out of stock. I had ordered their last oz. Currently, the only black teas in stock are Golden Snail Yunnan & Pine Peak Keemun:

I got my Adagio order (Christmas Cookies fandom sampler and a couple other samples).
I also got a lovely and thoughtful gift from Stephanie! Thanks dear. :)
My Zen order came in, absolutely stuffed with tea, this box. I’m so excited to try all of the samples I ordered! (which are bigger than I imagined)
Golden Tips subscription, and some rice pattern cups I ordered on 11/11.
Finally got my Art of Tea order today, it only took 18 days from when I ordered it! It was shipped yesterday from about 15 miles away and arrived at about 7:30 this evening, the UPS guy didn’t knock either. Weird. I’m excited to have Aztec Spice back in my cupboard though.
My Yunomi order came! I now have the Hokkaido Dattan Sobacha and Monoucha Genmaicha in my cupboard.
What’s incredible is that I ordered the whole thing less than a week ago and made sure to ask for the cheap, slow shipping that wasn’t expected to arrive before Xmas. Less than a week! Crazy!
