i finished this one and now i’m sad. But i needed it today – super migraine courtesy of that time of the month while working from home = need some good tea. while i have no issues with 52 teas, through no fault of their own, the dollar has tanked and shipping sucks, so this is one of the few teas i can see myself reordering someday if things work out. Most of the other teas are good, but not worthy enough of dealing with shitty currency exchanges :( maybe this year i could win the lottery. anyway…this tea – sublime. I adore the maple cheesecake oolongyness of this tea. Even the second steeps, is still pretty tasty. win!

Today the dollar was 69 cents. A very sad day for our cross-border tea lustings.
we haven’t crossed the 70 cent mark yet – not sure where you saw 69 cents. lowest it’s been in the month is 71 cents
BOC…er bank of canada has said the following: we would look for the Canadian dollar to only bottom out in late spring at around the 70 cent level, before making a mild recovery to around 73 cents by late-2016. And, that’s assuming oil prices steady and edge higher in the second half of next year.
I was about to go through a purchase in US funds on paypal and that is the exchange rate that was being given today on card purchases.
.
I did not end up making that purchase.
aaaah paypal – that makes sense, their rates are typically not in our favor.
sad face
on the upside, more incentive NOT to buy tea? :)
Or teaware.
No.more. tea.shopping. This month has already been outrageous.
:(. So sad and not cool
You can be on the not-buying-tea-savings-plan as well then, Evol. :) It was indeed terrible through Paypal. :/
I am on the not-buying-tea-savings-plan, with the exception of my subscriptions. I predict that my savings will finance a trip to allow the Canadian dollar to suffer pitted against the Euro.
Oh wait—that sounds like a tea-buying trip.
I think what I’ll do, instead of pressing that “buy” button on the carts, is transfer the money into savings and see what kind of trouble I can get myself into. :D
Lol. But it’ll be a fancy tea buying trip. And imagine what you’ll be able to eat and drink while you’re there. :D
mmm like my trip to paris…. so nice
We have just managed to turn the weak Canadian dollar and the poor and sad state of cross-border tea shopping into a bright and happy story. Hurray!
