Official *What did you get in the mail today?* Thread!!!
It was an excellent mail day at the House of Priss y’all. My Yunnan Sourcing Cyber Monday order came (it was a BIG one) – you can see a really bad pic on my Instagram at: http://instagram.com/p/wzaXPlQx-G/?modal=true
And my Tea Urchin flight came as well and it’s here: http://instagram.com/p/wzalZywx-c/?modal=true
Great mail day!!!! Did you just order a bunch of samples from Tea Urchin or do they have a sampler pack?
@Dexter Tea Urchin posted a tasting flight thingie a little while back: http://steepster.com/discuss/9437-tea-urchin-puer-tasting-flight and that’s what came today
@boychik – I was REALLY good for a long time, but that is all out the window. I have a pot coming from Scott too.
I got a care package from Tea Pet. Thank you so much! Very excited to try GABA Oolong and Oriental Beauty by Taiwan Tea
I got a order in today from Teavana but I didn’t open the box since hubby said it had my Christmas gifts in it. So I wrapped it up and put it under the tree. I should have a DAVIDs Tea order coming in next week too that I will wrap up as well. Christmas is going to be awesome :)
After rough night ( my son got stomach bug) I woke up to a wonderful package fr Joseph Wesley Tea. Amazing fast ship especially this time of the year. Thank you Joe!
Got my Kusmi order last night! It was small, just Troika and St Petersburg. It’s my first-time trying any of their teas, so I am stoked!
They have great teas! I LOVEEEEE the Anastasia tea. I’ve only ever been into their store, but they have an awesome website and good rates and stuff, too.
I would kill for a store! The sent samples of three other teas and I just tried Anastasia this afternoon. It was a really great earl grey. They do that sort of thing very well, no?
I think the only store stateside is in Manhattan! (The other is in Paris, I think). If you’re ever in NYC, though, it’s also very close to a David’s tea location and in a really lovely (albeit very— ritzy) part of town.
They do do traditionally flavored blacks well, which is well suited to my tastes. Interestingly, I feel like they push their other teas more, which is really too bad. But I love the Anastasia. I’m not a huge Earl Grey fan, but it’s different enough to make me happy and very light. It was my favorite tea for a long time (all summer), and still might be.
I am super picky with my Earl Greys too. I don’t care for the overpowering flavor of some bergamot blends. I am definitely interested in their traditionally blended black teas, too. I would love to see what their store looks like!
Yesterday I got a package from Ost’s stash sale, and today I got my last Steepster Select box. I also got my Secret Santa present. =)
The remainder of my Finest Brew order: The aged Dancong which they nicely sent in 50g packets, 2 types of rolled sheng balls, jinjunme and jin ya.
I also got my Tippy’s Tea samples and some sparkly jewelry from aliexpress.

Christmas from Cameron! Thank you (nom nom)
