I picked this tea out in the morning to christen my new Timolino with! Keychange was awesome and sent me her old timolino so now i a) finally have a timolino b) have an awesome purple timolino c) get to see if i am in love with timolino’s after all. It was a pretty good deal in my books since i got to spoil her a little in return for her awesome generosity! So i picked Nina’s Japon…mostly because i wanted an excuse to open that package LOL I have to say..need to drink from it a bit more but so far i am loving the timlino. I want to compare heat loss to my contigo’s since i didn’t pay attention today. Plus side of timolino? so much nicer to hold in my hands. upside to contigo’s? my finum brew baskets drop nicely in them. I suspect i’ll love them both for different needs and reasons in the end lol
Now to the other part of my day. TERRI sent me the BBB Box, along with the teas we picked up from awkward soul AND her box of tea (likely as payback for christmas box that i sent her in addition to the BBB box that came). Now… I was nearing 130 the other day. And then Keychange sent me some teas…which nearly put me to 140. I have a swap from shmiracles inbound, teas with cavocorax and kittenna…that could come any day… and now teas from VariaTEA are on their way.
You might be wondering HOW many teas terri sent me? 60. that’s right.. SIXTY TEAS! so now i have 2 weeks to get to 140… down from what i’m now sitting at – 197. I might as well go buy 3 teas just to be at an even 200. eep! that’s 57 teas in…17 days, ignoring any other teas that come in (which we know are GOING to come in…) that’s basically 3.5 sipdowns a day. Thankfully a number of terri’s teas are smaller samples…and anything that isn’t…well dexter and cavo…look out! bwahahahahahaha (and you teafairy…and pretty much anyone else who loves black teas and whose address i have ha!)

If it comforts you at all, I sent you sample sizes that fit nicely in a letter envelope. So basically two cups or one Sil-size cup each. Plus I got lazy and didn’t feel like going through your cupboard so no bonus teas this time, just the ones you requested. I was being nice :P
lol i hear you on that. there will be more packages i’m sure. Of course this just means i have even more incentive NOT to place any orders….with the exception being damn fine teas if i try them tomorrow and MUST HAVE THEM (since terri sent me samples!)
Haha. For so long I didn’t order tea. Then I got under 100 and I felt it was safe to do swaps again and place a couple orders. And just like that I almost doubled my teas in a week. Luckily, a fair bit are samples.
Also, I have been looking at RiverTeas website for months now but have resisted buying as I know Roswell Strange is sending me a bunch of different samples to try. I am getting better at holding off on orders until I tried some teas first, that way I can avoid ordering a bunch of things I don’t like.
Yep! I usually place 1-2 orders a month but i could potentially manage to get through all of March….what’s worrisome is that if i DO want to pick up the limited edition from damn fine tea…that will be another 5 tins since i might as well restock everything lol sooooo 15oz+
Oh dear. So much tea. My Cornelia Bean order was like that since each tea I got had to be a minimum of 50 g.
hahah…you didn’t “spoil me a little” you overhauled my cupboard! what you guys don’t know is that including samples from swaps, I have way, way more tea than it seems. Maybe I should join the “add swap samples to cupboard” club. Oh, and sil, what I do is steep my tea in the timilino upside down…maximum leaf water contact, yo!!
I don’t know WHAT you’re talking about key change….that’s was just a little ;)
RiverTea blends are on their way! There’s quite a few there for you to try!
Did those boxes actually come I one week? I think that might be a first, as it’s usually 10 – 14 days. Anyway, as always, I tried to include everything in my cupboard that isn’t in yours, including samples from all the Devotea teas. What I didn’t include was the teas I’m planning to share in the next BBBB, & I can’t remember if I included samples of the stuff Tea Explorer sent? I might have saved some of those for next time, because that might have required a third box!
lol yeah they came technically thrs :) I was suprised! you included maybe 1 tea from the tea explorer that i remember, and a couple from charlotte zero… I have a box for you…but i’m waiting to add a few more. Plus i need to decide what to do with the BBB Box.. i have a couple options :)
No rush, take your time…I think I’m siting at 312 or so, & have barely touched the also BBBB
haha it’s not quite full yet..but when it is, off it goes!
noo….not yet!
probably April is my guess since i now have to drink up your teas before i dive in to my other teas i haven’t shared with you yet lol
hahahahaha
I still have a ton of teas from you that I haven’t even tried yet!
..and that’s my problem..how? :)
