Lupicia Happy Bags - 2014

I was just wondering if their shipping was always this slow. Still shows my order as processing. Possibly overloaded by orders? The bad weather is probaby a factor if their located in the state’s. So much snow is happening all over the place.

Found the contents of one 60$ bag this year…someone else posted that the two 30$ bags they bought had the same contents, but didn’t specify what was in the 30$ ones.

60$
Momo Oolong Super Grade, 10 tea bags – $9.50
Chocolate & Strawberry Puer, 10 tea bags – $7.50
Napa Blanc San Francisco OriginaliTea (I think this is a limited edition local flavor), 10 tea bags – $7.50
Paradise Green, 10 tea bags – $7.50
Peach Melba, 10 tea bags – $7.50
Matcha Kirara Rice Tea, 10 tea bags – $6.50
Cassis & Blueberry black tea, 10 tea bags – $7.50
Breakfast Earl Grey, 50g loose leaf tea – $5.50
Ripe Mango Oolong, 50g loose leaf tea – $13.00
Pineapple Oolong, 50g loose leaf tea – $9.50
Lychee Oolong, 50g loose leaf tea – $6.00
Sakurambo (cherry) black tea, 50g loose leaf tea – $6.50
Strawberry & Vanilla green tea, 50g loose leaf tea – $6.50
Decaf Momo black tea, 50g loose leaf tea – $7.50
Alphonso Mango black tea, 50g loose leaf tea – $5.50
Assam Calcutta Auction, 50g loose leaf tea – $8.00

I finally got my package at 9:00PM. UPS knows how to keep it reasonable with their delivery times, haha. Anyway, I purchased the thirty dollar happy bag online, so if you purchase stores, it might be different? I’m not sure how this works since we don’t have a Lupicia in Las Vegas.

Sakurambo, 10 Tea Bags ($7.50)
Jasmin Mandarin Special Grade, 10 Tea Bags ($8.50)
Grapefruit Green, 10 Tea Bags ($7.50)
Strawberry & Vanilla, 10 Tea Bags ($7.50)

Sencha “Matsuri”, 50g Loose Leaf ($7.50)
Good Morning, 50g Loose Leaf ($7.00)
Lychee, 50g Loose Leaf ($7.50)
Té de Frutas, 50g Loose Leaf ($8.00)

In total, $61.00US worth of tea! I think I am set for the next few months. :)

I ordered a $60 bag. I got mine almost right away, on the 6th. But maybe that’s because I bought mine immediately after midnight on 1/1 and I live in the bay area.

My bag was almost identical to Sil’s except I got Elderflower & Chamomile instead of Paradise Green.

I’m fairly new to Lupicia, so I’m pretty happy with the variety of tea I got. The Napa Blanc was one of my favorites even before getting the happy bag, so I’m really happy I got another bag :) I tried Chocolate & Strawberry Puer today and it smelled divine (smelled just like those strawberry-flavored chocolate snacks you can find at a Japanese grocery store) and tasted delicious.

Here’s what’s in the $30 bag:
sakurambo: black tea with japanese cherry
grapefruit green**
jasmin Mandarin special *
sencha matsuri*
te de frutas decaf
strawberry and vanilla green tea (takes milk reasonably well)
lychee
good morning.

I spoke to Lupicia and all the $30 bags have the same tea in them. Let me know if someone wants to swap…. I don’t drink green teas, so would be willing to swap them for black.

Did anyone get the $100 one that can post what they got?

My $60 bag was the same as Banao’s, including the Elderflower & Chamomile (which I would have rather have than the Paradise Green anyway). There are only three of the teas that I know going into it I will not drink (there may be more after I try a serving, haha), so that’s pretty good.

I have to say that I preferred it when the bags were truly a grab bag, and every bag was different. They didn’t sell out too quickly this year, so next year I might just wait to see what they have in them before ordering one.
