I like to drink all the tea I have before purchasing more and I’m about to reach the bottom of my stash, so, from Mariage Freres:

Rouge d’Automne (rooibois base, I didn’t know if I should take the black tea version instead but I figured I needed a non-caffeinated tea for the evening)
Chandernagor
Phenix
Pleine Lune

100g of each as I get bored quickly. Haven’t tried any of those except Pleine Lune which is divine.

Can you tell I like my nuts and spices? Yum dessert teas. I’m open to any recs of course :)

Mariage Freres finally has the signature premium Spring Flush Darjeelings in so it will complete my Spring Darjeeling experience. My order will consist of:
200g of First Flush Castleton
200g of First Flush Namring Upper
200g of First Flush Margaret’s Hope
100g of First Flush Arya
and repeat orders of:
200g of First Flush Namring
200g of First Flush Ambootia
with samples of First Flush Aloobari and Balsun which they agreed to provide.

So I’ve tasted the 2012 Mariage Freres First Flush Darjeelings from Jungpana, Nurbong, Chamling, Sivitar, Moondakotee, Happy Valley, Turzum, Bloomfield, Namring,and Ambootia with the new order arriving next week. I do love their Spring Darjeelings but I do hate the high prices they charge.

Teaaaa teaaaaa, come my wayyyyyy, I need some more tea to drink todayyyyy. (Not that I don’t have any in my cupboard, but I want to try my NEW teas!) Like I just said in another thread, I’m making my mail carriers work this month… Waiting on 5 tea shipments (including swaps), a necklace from Etsy, three different Amazon packages (not my fault they shipped one order separately- stamps for my classroom and a case for my tablet), and a HUGE dog gate that I’m hoping comes before I go back to work on Monday………

Just ordered my Personalitea from Mad Pots of Tea! Can’t wait to see what they come up with!
Also got from 52 Teas
Blueberry Zabigilone
Mango Ice Cream
Cherry Almond Gunpowder

Thats it for me this month … need to save up big time I’m a bit broke.
Oh and I DID manage to get that yixing pot from Rachel of iHeartTeas!! WOOT!
Yes and I AM done. I SWEAR!

Small
Madeline Alyce said 2012-08-03 13:09:47 -0400

Never heard of the personalitea before!!!! How much is that??

Small
Azzrian said 2012-08-03 13:10:20 -0400

25.00 for 3 ounces loose leaf.
:) Not bad for a custom blend!

Small
Madeline Alyce said 2012-08-03 13:11:21 -0400

Ah so tempting!!! Next paycheck!!!

Small
Azzrian said 2012-08-03 13:13:01 -0400

Yup it was one of the few things I had planned for this payday! I found out about it last month :)
Next month I believe I will order from Teavivre and Lupicia MAYBE Den’s if I have any cash to spare.
Its been a while for all of them.
Then I will hit up Samavor the month after.

Invader Zim said 2012-08-03 14:18:02 -0400

Haha! You did get the 52teas! I knew it!

I’m glad you got the pumpkin yixing pot too. :)

Small
Azzrian said 2012-08-03 19:46:50 -0400

Haha yes I did just as you predicted :)
Thank you I am pleased with my haul this month. I am trimming back on how much I order as I have a nice stash going here already and funds are a bit more limited but I am excited for what I have ordered this month. Should pacify me until next.
Just waiting for some amazing sell to push me over the ledge here SIGH

Kiaharii said 2012-08-03 23:40:36 -0400

I wasn’t supposed to order more but then my dad threw money at me and said “Happy Birthday” (22 in a few days), and so this happened.

Sherlock Blend (3oz blend in pouch)
Watson Blend (3oz blend in pouch)
Hunan Gold 2oz
TARDIS Blend (3oz blend in pouch) (actually 4 oz, love this because “the TARDIS is bigger on the inside” way to go Adagio!).
Loki Blend (3oz blend in pouch)
Plus a free sample of Valentine’s (flavored black).

Woo! To be fair I’m pretty much down to samples (albeit a lot of samples) and it sucks when I want to make a pot of something and can’t!

Small
Azzrian said 2012-08-03 23:55:13 -0400

Happy Birthday!!!! Enjoy the new teas! Indeed one needs enough of a few teas at least – to make a full pot! Your order is warranted lol approved by me :)

Small
Uniquity said 2012-08-04 07:59:20 -0400

OMG, The TARDIS blend is bigger on the inside. I love this!

Too bad their international shipping fees are astronomical, would have liked to join in the fun :( Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday! 22 seems so long ago for me, lol. 2 years flies!

I just had to try some things. Had to play a little … had to have some fun. It IS cheap fun if you think of it a movie would have been far more than this! I get to enjoy this for days and days – months perhaps after I get it.

I am so longing also to place my Red Leaf matcha order …. HOLD ME BACK!

Small
Indigobloom said 2012-08-05 17:12:49 -0400

I wanna Redleaf order to! the cheesecake matcha is calling out to me…

Small
Azzrian said 2012-08-05 17:23:56 -0400

I want cotton candy and bavarian cream but I would not refuse any of them lol. I can’t decide on white or green though.

Small
Indigobloom said 2012-08-05 17:29:30 -0400

cotton candy sounds scrumptious to!
if I was to make an order, I wouldn’t know how to swap it. Matcha sticks to the bag and I’d be afraid of it leaking out(happened to me when I tried bringing some to work that way). it’s perturbed me for awhile!

Small
Azzrian said 2012-08-05 17:35:36 -0400

I have swapped it before using these little plastic containers with snap close lids – they are actually what glucose test strips are stored in for checking blood sugars in diabetics lol but they have safe tight snap close lids and the interior is non stick!
I can send you some if it is something you would like to try.

Small
Indigobloom said 2012-08-05 17:39:15 -0400

oh yes that’d be so awesome!! after we actually move though. I’m not sure where we’ll be for the next few weeks! well, here or my Aunt’s place that is. (I’d send tea in return of course!)

Small
Azzrian said 2012-08-05 17:42:12 -0400

Anytime your ready just let me know – I will save some up in the mean time but sure can be a life saver when traveling or for work. The little capsule thing usually holds the exact right amount for 1 to 2 cups depending on tea type. :)
No worries about sending anything in return either.

I get so lost on Red Leaf’s site – SO MANY yummy flavors to pick from!
Wow here I am drinking pu-erh and thinking about matcha … I’ll be over on the You Know Your Addicted to Tea When thread ….

Small
Indigobloom said 2012-08-05 18:48:58 -0400

yay! you are such a sweetheart, thank you!!!
I know what you mean about redleaf. Whew, so many indeed! I always get overwhelmed looking at a new site. Tea Haus was the worst. They have SO many options.
Now I’M craving pu’erh! lol

Small
Indigobloom said 2012-08-05 20:00:55 -0400

this is the site I meant… in the shop, I just stared at the wall for almost an hr. It was ridiculous!

Azzrian said 2012-08-05 21:08:02 -0400

LOL another site to ponder now! :)
Your welcome! Hit me up when your ready for them!
LOL I have too much pu-erh I don’t think I can ever get through it all – mostly in sample form though so that is good.

Wait – there is cheesecake matcha now? Hold the phone! Stop the boat! Get out of town and take the bus!

momo said 2012-08-06 15:33:25 -0400

YES. I suggested it and they created it! I cannot wait to order it but I must wait for the next gift certificate because booooo real money.

Small
Azzrian said 2012-08-06 15:33:49 -0400

Daisy – yes there is. There is EVERYTHING!!! LOL
Its nuts!

Zim … well I had a coupon!!! Yeah I am naughty. But the COUPON!

Those darn coupons…that’s how they always get us!

DaisyChubb said 2012-08-06 16:03:47 -0400

But.. cheesecake! That transforms any other matcha into greatness! Can you see it… cherry cheesecake matcha, mango cheesecake matcha, CARAMEL cheesecake matcha?! It’s madness! I hear you Amanda. Time to start reviewing! :D

Small
momo said 2012-08-06 16:07:08 -0400

CHOCOLATE. and caramel. At the same time, oh man triple matcha experimentation is clearly the next step isn’t it?

Small
DaisyChubb said 2012-08-06 16:20:55 -0400

mmm chocolate, cherry & bavarian cream? and cheesecake? Is 4 too many? let the experiments begin!

Mercuryhime said 2012-08-06 21:10:00 -0400

Can I just say that you guys are awesome? :D I’m afraid to visit Red Leaf’s site now even though I know I have a gift certificate that will allow me one free matcha. I just know that when I get there, I’ll have to buy about 15 of them.

Small
Azzrian said 2012-08-06 21:22:13 -0400

Yes but you will get one of them for FREE!!!! :) DO IT!

Small
Mercuryhime said 2012-08-06 21:54:24 -0400

Oh my, you’re a bad influence! haha I think I’ll wait until I’ve reviewed the two other matchas I got from them. I don’t have enough tins to open those pouches yet. :)

Small
Azzrian said 2012-08-07 10:15:01 -0400

Yeah I think when I place an order I will have to get the tins for sure.

Small
momo said 2012-08-06 20:02:48 -0400

cheesecake matcha is ordered woohoo
