Oh, the not-buying-tea-savings-plan begins after ten whole hours? I did actually come across a Canadian tea site and thought oh, what harm can it possibly do to have a look? And then, I began to fill up the cart. But thankfully, I managed to walk away. I walked away! Yay me! :)
I think you should order this one. It is so very delicious. And you have ten whole hours of reprieve, after all.
haha i just did it. but i did manage to get my cart down from 15 items to 4. lol so uh..baby steps? :)
Did you get all the sets of teas? :) :)
From 15 to 4! Now that is an accomplishment. I rarely manage to have that kind of resilience. Hurray for baby steps! More than baby steps, actually. Very well done.
If it doesn’t reduce your joy, can I ask which ones were the four that you managed to whittle down to? Only if it doesn’t reduce the thrill of the shop though. If it does, by even one iota, ignore, please.
And as much as I adore, QTT, I really truly hope that Lauren is changing her packaging really really soon. In my last order, there was far too much cross-contamination. However, that said, I had asked Lauren to delay shipping my teas, so they were likely hanging out sealed for far longer than was good for them.
Sil, I’m running a New Year’s sale starting tonight, so I took the liberty of refunding the difference on your order so you get the sale, in spite of the hiatus :p
Shipping is changing this coming year to a thicker mylar zip bag! Im also getting a thicker packaging material for samplers. I’ll actually have a post up in the forums with the flavor of the week with some other changes in about 30 minutes or so :D
@evol – i picked up the chocolate sampler (1 item, 3 teas hahaha); vanilla pears with cardamom butter; caramel keemun; and an extra ounce of chocolate cherry. there are a number of others i wanted (ie have tried and enjoyed) but i’ll wait. use it as incentive to drink up! and yes, i agree on the packaging.
@lauren – thanks SO much! I really appreciate that! oh man flavour of the week better not be amazing.. lol
Erm, yeah, the chocolate sampler is hard to resist. As are most of Lauren’s teas. Good selection there, Sil. Hmm, I wonder whether my cc will cooperate before the not-buying-tea-savings-plan begins?
I am drinking Chocolate Cherry Latte now in solidarity.
yaaaay! also it’s been 29 minutes…. must know what new flavour is.
oh i might be safe…if it’s Cranberry Maragarita Yerba Mate Tea. mate and i don’t get along.
Oh, but cranberry margarita sounds great! If only it weren’t mate. Haha. :)
You guys are really making me want to make the green tea version of this I had orginally envisioned D:
haha cranberry marguerita sounds lovely, just not as a mate. though to be fair i am typically on the side of wanting all blends to be black blends, rooibos or puerh…. sooo take that for what it’s worth lol
(I’m with Sil! Black tea ALL THE WAY. Rooibos is nice sometimes. And I like puerh.)
^ and ^^
I support.
poor lauren, we’ll be twisting her arm to make all sorts of black, puerh, rooibos blends!
I’m always open to ideas, so if there’s ever anything you really want to see definitely let me know!
^^ I support that too.
That said, however, your oolong and houjichas are very awesome too.
things to ponder…what do we want lauren to try making heh
Moratorium on tea prevents me from pondering the possibilities. At the moment. Give me three months or so.
ok, ok, if I must. That Vanilla Apple Panna Cotta Oolong was so divinely good that I could see Lauren doing a fine job of some sort of zabaglione. Or tiramisu. Or dulce de leche flan. Or Portuguese custard tarts. Or profiteroles. Off the top of my head.
Or caramel something. Or since I am on a strawberry thing, strawberry custard tarts. Or the tea equivalent of this. http://zsuzsaisinthekitchen.blogspot.ca/2011/04/hungarian-custard-slice-kremes_16.html
