Nice order!

I’m presuming these were sample sizes of tea

Sorry. I could not get it to separate the names. Strange.

Sorry I can’t stop people from getting LEGEN (wait for it) DARY deals! :)

Small
Babble said 2012-07-04 22:46:13 -0400

No problem. Were they samples?

Small
Azzrian said 2012-07-04 22:53:36 -0400

I am going to make a guess being that its not my order BUT based on other peoples orders and the pricing at that site I would say some of them are and some of them are not samples. The yixing would be about 22.00
Each sample is about 2.00 since her order came to around 40.00 and most of their teas run between 8-12 bucks full price and this is less than half price – and she didn’t order THAT many teas some of them probably were full sizes. Just a guess.

Kiaharii said 2012-07-05 10:12:49 -0400

Alright, I’m discovering this a dangerous place.

Ordered an Ingenuitea for my mom’s birthday (from Amazon so as to not be tempted by other tea from Adagio). Some tins from Specialty Bottle for her gift basket/thing.

Then from David’s tea:
Birthday Cake 100g
Oh Canada! 50g
Swampwater 50g
Organic Cream of Earl Grey 50g
Organic Buttered Rum 50g
3 teas for $5 (three green tea samples)
Perfect measuring spoon (2)

Some for me and some for my mom, I had to include birthday cake for her! I needed some more rooibos as it’s becoming my favorite evening/caffeine-free tea.

Small
Mercuryhime said 2012-07-05 11:05:15 -0400

Oh yes, kiaharii, this place is indeed dangerous. Are you ready for it?
Steepster will suck you in and your collection of 5 teas, which seems adequate at the moment, will somehow expand to fill multiple cabinets and shelves. But you’ll keep wanting more. You’ll start debating which plates and bowls you can get rid of so you can store your collection of teapots, tea mugs, tea bowls, gaiwans and steeper baskets. You start cutting your food and clothing budget so that you can buy more tea.
One day, you’ll wake up to discover teas stored in your bedroom, office, kitchen, and living room along with an emergency tea kit in your travel bag for when you have to be away from your stash. There will be 2-3 teas brewing at the same time because you want to experiment or you can’t stand the idea that once you finish one cup, you’ll have to wait 3 minutes for another one to brew. You need them back to back. You need to compare the 3 different samples of Mi Lan Dan Cong to determine the differences from different suppliers.

If you stay on Steepster, this will become your life. Welcome…. muahahaha

Also, fantastic selection of teas from David’s. I believe those are some of their most popular. :) And if you like rooibos, consider trying honeybush. It’s similar to rooibos but a slightly sweeter profile with less of a medicinal flavor. 52teas makes some great honeybush blends. :)

Since joining Steepster I have spent way more than I thought I ever would. And most of that has been on teas to drink Iced this summer. Come the cool weather I will need to stock up again!

Small
Azzrian said 2012-07-05 12:09:43 -0400

LOL yes just read the “you know your addicted to tea when…” thread!

Small
Kiaharii said 2012-07-05 13:19:23 -0400

I think I can handle it (my bank account hopes I can). My Mint account already has a budget set up, now to follow it. :)

I’ve tried honeybush before, and I think I liked it. I have some really really old samples (like really old), that I’m going to give a whirl. It can’t hurt right (no mold, just old, so they may not taste the best).

Small
Azzrian said 2012-07-05 14:02:06 -0400

Doubt it will hurt anything – probably lacking in flavor at worst.
What is a “mint” account?

Small
Kiaharii said 2012-07-05 14:06:24 -0400

Mint is a money management site/program/thingy run by the people who do Quicken. Helps me track spending, categorized purchases, etc. :)

No problem. Yes, but at least you still have the mystery of SFTGFOP. What could the letters S & F stand for? Perhaps Super Friends? Or maybe Seriously Funky? Or even Simply Fickle? Nope, none of those. New mystery achieved.
