Official *What did you get in the mail today?* Thread!!!
My samples from Nannuoshan arrived today!
I’m very happy with them, and impressed by Gabriele’s care and service. :)
got my order from pu-erh.sk. very fast, about a week from Slovakia. its my second order. First was teaware. Got free teacup because of their 5th anniversary and two free samples. couldnt be happier!
Have you tried any of the teas yet?
I think the Naka would be my favourite out of those (so far, only drank ‘em once), and you’ve got it caked! Wooh. :P
The HuaZhu’s are also great, nice and a strong enjoyable bitter to me. :)
not yet. feel very exhausted because of the heat. had to be outside for couple hrs. hopefully tomorrow. see naka was blind buy. i thought its not possible i wont like it. to make ship worth and not to miss out ( im usually late to all awesome teas)
pu-erh.sk looks interesting but their site is confusing. Hope you like the Naka. I recently bought a Naka ripe from EBay but it was not gushu.
To Boychik: Fair enough, I think I will go for another run with one of the .sk teas today. Maybe the Naka. :)
To AllanK: In what way if the site confusing to you? Peter sometimes has some quirky names for some products (I quite like that :P) but other than that it should be fairly straightforward.
As for their teas, I do recommend trying them sometime, I have good faith in Peter’s ability to find quality pu’er, both in his fresh and aged offerings, although I’ve only ever had samples from the former. :)
What is slightly confusing about the website is the language. Some of it is in English, some not. It’s a little better in Google Chrome where most of it gets translated. I don’t even know what language the other stuff is in. It is clearly not geared primarily towards a US audience.
Allan, they have language switch in the upper right corner. The site is fine once you switch to English. you dont have to translate anything.
Ive tried samples before and was impressed with quality and taste.
@chaiveck cant wait till evening to try Naka. i need to drive somewhere now so dont want to take any chances ;D i know Naka!
Didn’t realize they have a language switch! Good to know! Not that I need any further temptation right now. ;)
It’s a pretty safe tea Boychik, I’m sure I would’ve been able to drive after tasting my way through the sampler. :þ
But I do suppose tea might affect various people in a different way, and I see from your IG pics you’re already on it now! ;)
Today I got an incredible swap package from Mr Mopar, thanks.

A small Verdant order: Mrs. Li’s 2015 Early Spring Shi Feng Dragonwell, Shui Xian Wuyi Oolong, and a sample of He Family 1st Picking Laoshan Green.
I also received my last Golden Tips subscription box.
On Friday I got my swap with Boychik, she sent an incredible selection of teas from White2Tea.

I am looking forward to receiving 2 orders of oolong from verdant tea and floating leaves
My 52teas Kickstarter package and the latest Ms. Marvel trade (slightly banged up from shipping, but whatever, it’s here!). The 52teas blends smell fabulous. I’m looking forward to trying one out tomorrow… maybe the french toast? Or the cucumber cantaloupe oolong? All of these seem like they would be good iced too!
