Official *What did you get in the mail today?* Thread!!!
Got my first ever mail order tea package today, exciting!
From The Kent and Sussex Tea and Coffee Company (a UK concern). The order arrived promptly and the teas are well-packaged in those brown paper plastic seal bags, the lot contained in a proper sturdy cardboard box.
Not tried any yet, the teas are as follows:-
New Spring Green Tea
Gunpowder Temple of Heaven Green Tea
Nepal Tea TGFOP
Pu erh Special 3 Year Old Vintage Tea
Thailand Jinxuan Oolong
Haven’t received nothing since 4 months ago other than some samples as I plan to reduce my green/white/Indian black tea under storage (around 500gr in total).
Today I got a lot of mail, an order from Yunnan Sourcing USA, an order from tealife2015 on EBay, and an order from Teaware.house. Plus some samples from a good tea friend.

I got my first ever gaiwan in my first ever Yunnan Sourcing order on Saturday, which had lots of black teas. I also got my Vitacost tea order today.
I got 12 cups in the mail today (3 sets of 4, blue, white, green) http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Jingdezhen-Yonglihui-80ml-Ceramic-Colored-Glaze-Porcelain-Tea-Cup-Hand-painted-Kung-Fu-Tea-Masters-Cup/32664879874.html
Wife and I decided to keep the two sets we liked, and use the last as a gift. The green will be the gift.
Hurray,
Liquid Proust’s generous pu-erh sampler collection arrived today (thanks-LP, already enjoying ploughing through some of these).
I’m just going through them randomly, had 2 so far. Neither were to my liking yet but I’m going to stick it through and try them all (oddly the samples I’ve had so far tasted a bit salty like watered down sea water with tea in it).
Received a very generous amount of various teas from a swap with another board member. Going to be a great week of tasting sessions.
I got nothing in the mail today, yesterday, or the day before, because US Customs has been holding several packages hostage in San Francisco for over a week. I am not happy.
I don’t know, I’ve done business with two of the three more than once, so I don’t think it’s that. Who knows.
I’ve had packages held in the ISC for three weeks without any reason ever given. You will never know if it was due to high volume, them thinking your package suspicious, or just general incompetence.
Well, the hostages were released!
