Official *What did you get in the mail today?* Thread!!!
Two days in a row of incredible teamail! Today, two packages from the wonderful Liquid Proust. LP teas: Peppermint Nom Nom (which smells incredible btw), Nostalgia, Sweet Cocoa Roasted Genmaicha, Japanese Trio, and Balls of Thanks. Also some Drunk on Red, Bang Dong sheng from YS, Golden Bud, Sench Puerh (?), and a “no name” tea from YS that looks a lot like Bilochun. Yay! I’m on tea-purchase lockdown now. Seriously.
A month ago when I received two large tea shipments on the same day, I decided it was time to go into a complete lockdown. Didn’t last too long, as I placed a 100 Euro order a week ago, but hey, at least I tried!
Or, as Oscar Wilde put it, I can resist anything but temptation…
EoT was indeed where I placed my last order. This teapot:

and some puerh samples, to get the order above 100 for free shipping.
I have that same teapot and love it. My favorite yixing by a mile. Drink young sheng and mid aged dry stored sheng out of it
Oh boy, that teapot sure is pretty. I would like a teapot like that. Just like that. runs away
@Grill, good to know, I will also dedicate this to sheng and the relatively cheaper pot which is on the way from TeaVivre to shu.
My verdant tea of the month for September came today!!!! YESSSSSSSS….. Green Laoshan Nirvana awaits.
Jeez… you know it’s bad when you get that familiar little Chinese tea mail package and for a solid minute you’re like “what is this? Did I place an order I don’t remember?” Sure did! Apparently I felt the need to order a whole bunch of green tea from Verdant at some point a few weeks ago. Lots of Laoshan (green and black) and Bilochun. Seriously, lockdown.
Today I got an incredible swap package from Mr Mopar and my copy of Global Tea Hut. This months tea is shou puerh.

Today I got my order from Whispering Pines. Very surprised to see some tea I didn’t order. o: I got 2oz of Pine Peak Keemun and 2oz of Ailaoshan Black Tea. But also 1oz of Yunnan Gold Tips. O: I am a first-time customer of Whispering Pines, so I don’t know if this is to be expected or just a little error. Either way, I’m so excited to try out all these new teas. :D
Usually I toss in a 1/4oz sample but I was feeling pretty generous that day :-) Enjoy!~
Today I got a small order from Yunnan Sourcing’s China site. It was two 2015 raw puerhs and two loose ripe puerhs and some samples.

Got my end of the group order from What Cha tea today! Im giddy at this tea! cant wait to try them ALL!
I got a lovely box from liquid proust which basically equates to a whole load of Oolong that i didnt know what it would be. It came at the right time with me not very well in bed, but not with any flu symptoms that would change my taste. hurrah!
It’s the first of many to come :)
I’m awaiting a few more shipments before part two comes your way.
Yeah i did wonder, there was some puehr mentioned in the thread which wasn’t there, I wasn’t sure if you thought I only wanted Oolong or both. (im interested in puehr more and more now.)
Also if you have got any more of your own fruity blends if love to try them, anything citrus or floral, I’m loving the elixir #9
Ones that I can make a bigger order of if I like them
How about I just send you short of a pound of tea when I mail out your portion of the aged oolong sampler? Just PM when the time comes.
Today I got a small order from Teavivre and their recent sale.
