I’m afraid to talk about the numbers of each item listed or how much total was spent.

I’m living vicariously through all of you right now! I’ve stayed very much out of the loop with Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales since I’m on self imposed hiatus until the new year. Still, I did get Christina to add in 50g of Yun Nan Dian Hong Golden Tip for me with her Teavivre order.

Sorely tempted to place Quarter to Tea, Blue Hour Tea, and Bitter Leaf Tea orders but holding out so far!

EDIT: Payday was today, and when I got home from work I caved and ordered some stuff…

Okay, so here is what I have gotten so far:

Ette Tea
Mango Sticky Rice
Nasi Lemak

Joseph Wesley
Keemun
Lapsang Souchong

Free mini tin of Tsarvena

(I say so far because I am spreading it all out over the next few days. “hangs head in shame”)

Nothing tea related so far today (I’m so good!)

From Taiwan Sourcing’s pre-black Friday sale…
Imperial Grade Lala Shan High Mountain Jade
Alishan Premium Jin Xuan Jade
Master Four Seasons Organic
Wenshan Gold Baozhong
Jin Xuan “Golden Lily” Certified Organic
Si Ji Chun Certified Organic
Shan Lin Xi Ying Xiang Transitional Organic Jade

And Ta, Golden Lily, & Four Seasons oolongs from Tea from Vietnam.

And a few things from Zen… Mainly I just wanted more of the caramel creme rooibos, but I threw in a couple oolongs as well.

A couple of all the sheng balls available at The Finest Brew.

And lastly, a few flavored matchas from 3leaftea.

So far I’ve ordered only from Teavivre – the Yunnan Golden Tip that Roswell wanted, plus some more Superfine Tan Yang Gong Fu and some Peach Jasmine Pearls.

I’m really debating what else to get – there’s so much choice that I’m overwhelmed.

Like Ros I’m considering Bitter Leaf, but their prices are waaay too high for me, even with the 15% coupon.

EDIT: I got a whole bunch of samples from Amoda. I think I’m done now. Here’s what I got:
