Oh my. I feel like I overdid it on the Black Friday purchases. I have no idea where all of these teas will go, and I’m not 100% sure that I’m done! I’m waiting to see what TeaVivre does on Monday, and I may end up getting some more Della Terra depending on what the 60% teas are. But, for now, this is what I’ve ordered:

Argo Tea Free Pre-Black Friday Promotion
3 pack sampler – Genmaicha, Moroccan Mist and Green Tea Cinnamon Orange

Amoda Tea
December Taster Box

Butiki
Irish Cream Cheesecake (green tea version)
Rhubarb Vanilla Ale (oolong version)
Watermelon Xylophone
Pistachio Ice Cream
Potato Pancakes & Applesauce
Citrus Dream
Spicy Mint Oolong
Flowery Pineapple Oolong
Organic Korakundah
Gui Fei Oolong
White Rhino
Pumpkin Milkshake 2.0

Della Terra
Lemon Chiffon
Almond Biscotti
Upside Down Rooibos
Vanilla Cream Rooibos
Cinnamon Diletto

Verdant
Dark Roast 10 Year Aged Tieguanyin

Adagio
Rooibos Vanilla Chai (sample size)

It all came out to $112 and change, which is pretty close to my initial budget ($100). Basically if I don’t count the Amoda box, I came in exactly on budget. Alright, a few cents over, but let’s round down. The problem is that I might give in to temptation a few more times…

Great orders. There’s an oolong version of the Irish Cream Cheesecake? I’m glad I saw this before I placed my order. I don’t like black tea, but I love oolong.

Kaylee said

Black tea kills my stomach, so Stacy occasionally makes a non-black tea version of a flavored tea for me. It gets made along with the regular version, so there might be a wait. She’s made a larger oolong batch in the past when other people wanted it too. I imagine that if you message her, she would have no problem adding you. A correction, actually- the cheesecake is a green tea base.

Ok, I caved twice today -

TeaVivre
Organic Dehydrated Camellia
Taiwan Osmanthus Oolong Tea
Da Hong Pao (Big Red Robe) Wuyi Rock Oolong Tea Fujian
Superfine Taiwan Moderately-Roasted Dong Ding Oolong Tea

Yanabah Navajo Tea
3-pack: Traditional, Mint, Green

BUT, with small sizes, discounts and coupon codes, both orders together came in under $20. So it’s not that bad!

I had no real budget since my husband has his wage bonus and was kind enough to share his money but I still feel that was an absolute splurge. I think I need to say no more tea for a looong time. Though swaps are fine. Yoikes!

Just made my first online purchase of loose leaf teas.. Started with Della Terra’s…
Winter Nog
Roasted Apple
Cinnamon Crackle
Jasmint
White Chocolate Coconut Creme

Hubby and I have very different tastes, so hoping we each find something we like.

Next order looking to be Tiesta Teas… Still looking at what to buy there :)

Ok… so I’m noticing all of the reviews from Tiesta teas are older here. Are they a company no one is buying from ?

Dinosara said

There was some hubbub when the company made a ton of dummy accounts and posted a large number of high ratings on their teas (there are still a ton of them on their Victorian Earl Grey), which put them out of favor (you can find an old discussion thread about it by searching for Tiesta). Also I thought their tea was not very good. For instance, their jasmine green tea had fake jasmine flavor, which was nasty.

Dinosara.. Thanks for the info. I thought it fishy that they weren’t mentioned much and only found a few old reviews.
