I got a new travel mug! I saw them in Target a couple weeks ago and almost got one but it was $5 less on Amazon! http://www.amazon.com/Contigo-AUTOSEAL-Stainless-Insulated-Tumbler/dp/B001RMIWJ6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1360965337&sr=8-1&keywords=contigo+autoseal

So far, so good. Too scared to try drinking my tea yet still haha.

Got 2 of my book club swaps (from Lariel and threewhales), hooray! Along with Sakura Sencha & Pineapple Sencha from Den’s which just happened to come with a sample of the Rose Sencha which I almost ordered. I thought my Red Leaf samples would come today but I accidentally delivered them to my parent’s house… oops!

Your the first person I’ve ever seen mention gynostemma. I buy gynostemma for my arthritis and have thought about offering it on our website but I worry about adding things that have potentially dangerous side effects.

Really? I didn’t know about potentially dangerous side effects, what are they?

Butiki Teas said

Its only potentially dangerous for pregnant women and it can slow clotting which can be dangerous for some people but check it out: http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/ingredientmono-265-JIAOGULAN.aspx?activeIngredientId=265&activeIngredientName=JIAOGULAN. I guess its not that bad but if you need surgery or get injured it could be a problem.

it’s also not recommended for those taking immunodepressants.

i put the warning in my tasting notes of it..maybe i should edit the tea info itself?

Prednisone is an immunosuppressant drug, Lance also takes it, No Gynostemma for him.

this reminded me to see where mine are, and they are apparently sitting at a post office south of where I live “undeliverable as addressed” so that’s awesome.

My first order from Della Terra came in! A bunch of try me packs, they are definitely good size to try a whole bunch of teas – one’s the valentines ones and the others are custom ones.

From that list was there anything you would specifically like to see a review for? I have a few others as well from them that arrived last week. I recommend them, everything I have tried so far has been nice. Plus they were sent quickly and are a good price :)
