Official *What did you get in the mail today?* Thread!!!
I got my Capital Tea Ltd order today.
Lumbini Estate SPL Ceylon
Puttabong Estate Moondrops
Satispur Estate Assam
Lengrai estate Assam
Vanilla Tea
Wu Ser Gao Shan Oolong
And generous (20g each) samples of
Boisahabi Estate FBOP
Duflating Estate Assam
And Cangyuan Mao Feng
I was tempted to try Joel’s Rou GUI and Dancong this time but I still have a lot of those to work through.
Today was an epic mail day. I got my Cyber Monday orders from Crimson Lotus Tea and Misty Peaks. In my Taiwan Sourcing order a mistake was made and I was sent 25g of tea instead of 75g. Today I received the replacement 50g along with a 25g free sample.

I also received my Whispering Pines order today. Wildcrafted Da Hong Pao, Golden Lily, and regular Da Hong Pao along with a sample of Ailaoshan black tea. The Wildcrafted DHP is utterly mindblowing – and this is coming from someone who’s not a fan of most roasted oolongs.
Sure thing, my cupboard is sorely out of date but I did receive some recent shipments from Taiwan Tea Crafts, WPs, Tea from Vietnam, and Verdant. PM if interested and I can put together some samples.
I got my Yunnan Sourcing order today, even though it was a Sunday:
- Spring 2015 Fu Shou Mei Feng Qing Black Tea of Yunnan
- Yi Mi Ren Wu Liang Mountain Yunnan Black Tea Spring 2015
- Spring 2015 High Mountain Red Ai Lao Mountain Black
- Celadon Gaiwan
- Plus a free strainer (I forgot to include it in my order and when I asked Scott, he put it in for free since it didn’t cost a lot – how generous!) and a free sample of Da Hu Sai Village Wild Arbor Black Tea of Yunnan Autumn 2015
On top of that, I got a lot of other stuff coming in this week:
- My Xmas tea sampler from the 52Teas Kickstarter
- A tea swap from Ubacat
- A tea swap from a non-Steepster friend in Alberta
- A tumbler from Teabook
Best of all, there was a big tea box from Davids Tea that came in this afternoon…. with my husband’s name on it. Hmm, I wonder why he would be ordering tea in December? ;-)
Yesterday’s teamail was epic. Delicious Harney & Sons Assam from Nicole, my Whispering Pines order, and Chocolate Chai & Jabberwocky (more Whispering Pines) from another Steepster.
I came back from a weekend trip that included stops at Ten Ren and Teaism to find the 52teas holiday sampler waiting for me. Woohoo! Of course, now I have nowhere to put all this tea… Time to get creative!
