So I have been trying to decide which tea company to place my birthday-present-to-myself tea order at hehe :P I finally chose today, and it was yet another Verdant order. The limited edition Fuijan white tea was the deciding factor, it said pear and white tea and jasmine so there went the willpower. And of course I had to get a few other items as well…

Fuijan White Jasmine – 1 oz (almost got 2, but since it was limited, I refrained lol)
Mi Lan Dancong Black – 2 oz
Laoshan Black – 1 oz
Chai Spice – 2 oz
Shui Jin Gui Wuyi Oolong – 7 g
Big Leaf Sheng Pu’er 2006 Yang Ji Tian Yuan – 7 g
Golden Buds Shu Pu’er Xingyang 2010 – 7 g

Total with my $10 rewards gift cert – $42.20 to hit free shipping
Happy early bday to me! Haha

Thanks Azzrian!! :D

I was going to try sample sizes too, but when I calculated I realized how much more expensive it is that way. I should have ordered golden buds though! lol, Happy Birthday!

MissLena12 said 2013-02-10 17:02:29 -0500

Yeahh it is a bit more expensive but I like to try all the teas there and it’s a lot easier if I have small quantities of them rather than larger bags, although over half of them I end up reordering anyways lol, oh well :) and thanks for the bday wishes!!

Picked up Strawberry Zabaglione from 52 Teas since A) I only have one cup left and B) I have NEVER seen a discount at 52Teas before so I had to do it.
I wanted to get more of the Walter Bishop Honeybush but I have almost a full bag and I could not justify that as I seriously have spent a lot this past week.
More than I should spend in a month.
I will be hoarding my Walter Bishop tea.

Sil said 2013-02-08 21:43:50 -0500

haha tell me about it Azzrian! I have uh…. 5 orders on the way… 2 contests that i won…. 2 sets of free samples from various companies…

Small
Azzrian said 2013-02-10 15:41:21 -0500

At least the contests have no guilt :)

Emily M said 2013-02-08 18:22:55 -0500

Oh man! I have a problem! I saw that Della Terra Teas has a discount up, and I’m a sucker for a discount of any kind. Had to make an order. Figured it’d be a good time to try some of the teas on their site that I’ve had my eye on. Got a custom “Try Me Pack”, so I didn’t spend much (although it’s the small purchases that seem to add up to an astronomical amount when I’m not looking). Anyway, I chose to try out:
S’mores
Oatmeal Raisin Cookie
Grandma’s Pumpkin Pie
Orange Brulee
and Walnut Brittle

Excited for these teas to get here! The shame won’t set in until I look at my bank statement next week… ;)
I don’t feel too bad, though, as it seems a lot of my fellow steepsters have the same problem!

Small
Em said 2013-02-08 22:05:35 -0500

Della Terra makes great teas. It will be worth it ;) The one thing that is tough about internet orders is the wait.

Small
Emily M said 2013-02-08 22:17:17 -0500

So true.

Jackie T said 2013-02-08 18:26:25 -0500

Grabbed the last 2 bags of Caramel Pumpkin Cheesecake from 52teas…so now I have 4 bags of that in the mail :-) also got a bag of pancake breakfast

Small
Sil said 2013-02-08 18:43:19 -0500

curse you! lol i was going to pick up an extra of that heh

Small
Jackie T said 2013-02-08 18:51:32 -0500

I’m a swap lover :-)

Small
Sil said 2013-02-08 18:55:11 -0500

haha have an extra bag in the house from the first time.. just wanted to pick up some more.

Small
tattooed_tea said 2013-02-08 19:41:16 -0500

Sil, I have an almost full bag (well technically in a jar now). I’m gonna give it one more go, & possibly swap it out.

Small
Sil said 2013-02-08 21:03:45 -0500

tattoed_tea…was it you who wanted the strawberry rhubarb pie from frank? i’m a little all over the place tonight. if so, we could likely do a bit of a swap that way so you can try it…if that was in fact you and i’m not mis-remembering

Small
BoxerMama said 2013-02-08 21:17:29 -0500

Curse you is right! lol, they were sold out when I tried to order it!

Small
Jackie T said 2013-02-09 05:40:42 -0500

thanks, I’m up for swapping like I said. I’ll send a full bag for samples of other things.

Small
tattooed_tea said 2013-02-09 09:29:34 -0500

Sil, it was me. I’m dying to try it.

T.C. said 2013-02-08 18:46:53 -0500

Damn it…Lariel made me place another order!!!!!
Who the hell sends you PMs saying “ppsst hey, I can get you a discount if you order in the next 24 hours from adagio”. That’s like telling a crack addict it’s 2 for 1 day!

Anyway…
Shining Star (3oz blend in pouch)
Ambrosia (3oz blend in pouch)

On the way….

Small
Lariel said 2013-02-08 18:58:53 -0500

Well, I do like those rooibos flavours. And you did like the other Adagio rooibos I sent. So I thought you would like those.

Small
teapot1 said 2013-02-08 19:30:39 -0500

Is Adagio offering a promotion now?

Small
Emily M said 2013-02-08 19:31:53 -0500

Em said 2013-02-08 22:06:54 -0500

I am so tempted to get some more Weeping Angel, but I CAN’T let myself buy more tea.

Small
T.C. said 2013-02-08 22:08:56 -0500

And this order is Sil’s fault…

Small
Sil said 2013-02-08 22:11:57 -0500

hahaha happy to be an enabler. You’ll have to let me know how the irish cream tastes! i haven’t tried that one :)

Small
T.C. said 2013-02-08 22:14:24 -0500

went robust on all of them to make sure i get the flavors. Nobody else is allowed to PM me tonight with deals/discounts/codes or anything else! It’s ridiculous I have close to a dozen orders incoming :(

Small
Sil said 2013-02-08 22:16:34 -0500

haha i have the same problem! And i’m leaving the country for two weeks!

mmmm really nice verdant order!

Small
BoxerMama said 2013-02-08 22:15:18 -0500

I’m really excited. I get their monthly tea club, and it makes me realize how much better their tea is than the stuff I get here. lol

Small
Dustin said 2013-02-08 22:20:16 -0500

Trying so hard to resist the 52teas sale! I told myself I’d chill on the orders for a while. But a sale?!?! It’s killing me. I’m dying inside… over tea.

Small
Azzrian said 2013-02-08 22:21:40 -0500

I know right! But I have never seen Frank offer a discount on ALL the teas before so I had to get my favorite!

Small
Em said 2013-02-08 22:22:11 -0500

Stay strong!! You can do it. Your bank account will be happy.

Small
Dustin said 2013-02-08 23:18:02 -0500

I have been on the website like six times this evening staring at what is available. I’m not sure I can take much more of this. I want the Pina Colada HB, Neapolitan HB, Coconut Cheesecake HB and the Double Chocolate Decadence. I just got the Malted Chocolate HB in the mail today and have two bags of the Earl Black on the way. I’m going to have to self impose a Steepster ban so I don’t see these sales and reviews of all this wonderful tea!

Small
Alphakitty said 2013-02-08 23:19:30 -0500

Ugg, it’s killing me too! I have the subscription so I already have all the regular releases, but the cranberry oolong is calling my name.

Small
T.C. said 2013-02-08 23:30:30 -0500

Just think AK, you could share that with me if you ordered it now!
(well it sounded good in my head anyway). Get it!

Small
Dustin said 2013-02-09 23:44:10 -0500

Nope. I caved. I got the Pina, Neapolitan and Coconut honeybush. I held back and didn’t get a strawberry honeybush.
