Another good mail day :) Got my samples from Nepali Tea Traders. Also got a package from The Tea Kings with some Da Ye and De Hua Oolong. They also sent two random free samples that aren’t marked, so I’m not even sure what they are! One is a flowering tea (which they don’t even seem to sell?) and the other looks like it might be some wild sheng pu’er (loose), but I have no idea.
Edit: After some picture comparison, the first sample is actually chrysanthemum tea.
Happy Mail Day ! I got my samples fr Wymm Tea. Im so impressed with these samples. thank you so much for sending them my way, Wymm Tea !

Yayyy! Dino cups and a teensy Kyusu from Yunomi are waiting for me at home. Pictures await!
It turned out to be a better mail day than I thought! Mandala, Verdant, and a bunch of samples! Woot!
I got tons of stuff in the mail today! Three teas as part of my Verdant blends subscription plus my sample of masala chai from Nepali Tea Traders. Nepali Tea Traders even threw in an extra sample of oolong for me to try! So generous!
Today I got a large order from Streetshop88, or more accurately three smaller orders that converged, five ripe cakes, a 100ml Yixing, and a 200ml Kamjove. I also got my samples from Nepali Tea Traders and Just Organic Tea Iced Tea Samples. Very excited to start making iced tea. Looks like each sample has enough for one hot brew and one cold brew.

I got my share of the Butiki 1989 puer today, and my Dachi Kickstarter rewards showed up at my partner’s house, so I’m excited to dig into that too.
I got my Ebay Streetshop88 order along with my TeaAve order yesterday. Got a few teas to log in the cupboard now!
Got my Mandala order today! (love the personalized notes on the packing list, btw)

Mail time again :)
Teavivre:
Gunpowder Green Tea
Jasmine Dragon Pearls
Taiwan Jin Xuan Milk Oolong
Yun Nan Dian Hong – Golden Tip (sample)
Silver Needle White (sample)
Dragon Well (sample)
Also got a small glass teapot so that I can brew smaller batches more easily!
Mahamosa:
Strawberry Lychee Sencha
White Pearls
Zhen Qu (Golden Buds)
Wow, strawberry lychee sencha sounds wonderful!
Agreed, TeaNTees. Sounds like it would make an excellent iced tea.
Still working on the brew time/temp.. The first round didn’t taste like much other than sencha!
It works much better at 150 degrees for a longer steep. If either of you want to try it, just shoot me a PM. :)
