Official *What did you get in the mail today?* Thread!!!
Got my Royal Tea Bay (from Ebay) order yesterday.
Persimmon Tea
Ri Zhao Green Tea
Soba-Cha
Tie Guan Yin
I was so happy to get Ri Zhao tea from them. They don’t have it up on their website but when I contacted them they told me to use a different green tea link and they would put the Rizhao tea in.
I’m looking forward to trying the Soba Cha tea. I’ve had one from YS and it was good so was wondering how this one would be.
I’m just concerned I haven’t received my Yunomi order yet. Since it was free shipping there’s no tracking number and I ordered it way before this one.
Holy crap HUGE box of Tea Ave samples I had to sign for :-O
I’m trying to remember if I did this or not, do you know how we requested them?
Edit – I do have an old email from them, but not a recent one that samples are coming. Maybe I’ll get a nice surprise.
Rose, Magnolia and Jasmine! I can’t believe the adorable teaware they sent along as well! :-O
I got my Mandala order today!! Garrett was so nice to include an additional sample of Autumn Song Maocha so I can compare it against Heart of the Old Tree :D Alas, I wasn’t able to open it because I was on my way out of town :(
At least I have something to look forward to!
I received samples in the mail today from Tealated. It was a bit of a surprise. I remember signing up for them, but wasn’t expecting much. It was a really nice package. There are two very generous samples, tea bags to put the tea into, a coupon for the first purchase and a really nice note. Thank you Tealated. I look forward to trying these.
I had a note in my mailbox yesterday telling me that my nannuoshan order was being held at the post office so I went earlier this morning to pick it up. There were two very pretty boxes inside – one holding the gaiwan set I ordered and the other holding some smaller teaware items. Sadly, the tea lotus I picked out was broken en route, but everything else was beautiful. My tea samples also arrived in the same box so I’m looking forward to trying those soon. I’ve been enjoying reading everyone’s reviews on these.
Thank you to Gabriele and nannuoshan for sending me this lovely collection.
Oh no! I’m sorry your tea lotus broke! Was it a cup? I ordered a gaiwan and cup and they’re supposed to be on the way.
Aww, thank you! I’m a little bummed, but I know these things happen every now and then. Everything else in the package looks great.
Here is the one I purchased:

I looked for these online but couldn’t find anything similar so maybe they also go by another name? When I spoke to Gabriele, he told me that the tea lotus is good for showing tea to guests and for smelling the tea before steeping. Also, the shape makes it easier to pour excess tea back into the container. I’ve only ever made tea in a teapot (this is my first gaiwan) so there is a lot that I still don’t know.
My package did take about 3 1/2 weeks to arrive so maybe yours will also come in soon. There were some nice pieces on the website so I bet yours will be pretty!
See, I have no clue. :) Thanks for telling me the proper name – I see it now on the website, but I hadn’t noticed it before. I took a few pictures and posted them to Instragram if you want to have a look!
I followed you too, Tealizzy! Thank you for the sweet comments. And Blodeuyn, I really love the owls too. When I first saw the set, I thought the design was two men in a fishing boat because the photo was a bit small. I was so excited when I opened the box and saw two cute little owls on a branch!
Teacups and some tea from adagio, and food/postal (tea) scale that I ordered from amazon like, a month ago haha!

Sweetest mail day EVER! My first real Tea pet came all swaddled in a teeny box. There was a sweet note and funny post-it note warning signs on the box. (I can highly recommend EBay seller kjcappuccino and her store Charming Charming China. She has the most unique tea pets! http://stores.ebay.com/Charming-Charming-China)
I got samples from Wymm Tea, all bundled up in tied with a stamped leather logo :D
And my Amoda Monthly box!
OMG, cutest tea pets ever!

TheLastDodo-Did you get the hedgehog one? That one is super cute.
Darn, now I have to get the bunny in the boat. I don’t know why I look at teaware pics.
Today I got my order from Berylleb King Tea and a package from Streetshop88, all ripe puerh and a small piece of teaware, a bamboo teaspoon. I also got my Global Tea Hut.
