Gosh, I never actually managed to get a photo of my Charm and Luna. This whole wedding business kept me busy and made me forget. But I did find some time to vote before I went off to get upgraded to mrs. :) (And I ain’t sayin’ which kitty I picked)

I think Loki is starting to get agitated about how much time we are spending looking at other cats on the screen. If we get out our camera, he comes running, just begging to have his picture taken. That boy just loves attention.

So many votes are flooding in! Still pretty close on Monday after quite the weekend. If anyone is looking for something to do with their coupons from voting, I just added (by popular demand) the Perfect Iced Tea Tasting kit to the site to beat the summer heat. (Under samples)

By the way, tea cats contest is definitely going to be at least a quarterly tradition, so if you see the perfect cat and tea opportunity, snap that photo and hold on to it for the next round.

Oh, that’s awesome! I’ll try to do some photographing of my kitty when I’m home next week. I could have submitted a photoshopped picture, but think it’s way more fun if the picture is actually tea-related in itself.

Tea Cats voting closes today at 6PM CST! You have all done such a good job getting out the vote that it is still too close to call. Too many cute photos! Today is the last chance to make your voice heard, or lobby your friends to get the upper hand.

Also a reminder- if you voted, you got a 5% off coupon code. Those are good through Sunday, so make use of them. If I had 5% off, I would probably pick up some of the Yiwu ’04 sheng that we got a later pressing on. Just 12 bricks. Plus, Rothko loves the “zhang” (piney) smell of that one, and he deserves a treat for sharing the limelight so gracefully :)

By the way- We are sending out special pre-release samples of a limited edition of Tian Di Ren Bulang Sheng to anyone who orders $50+ this weekend. This tea won’t be available as part of our normal offerings, so this weekend is a good chance to get a hold of some, combined with your Tea Cats coupons. Here are the details: http://verdanttea.com/verdant-puer-reserve-project/

Disregard my previous (erased) comment. I was mistaken about the amount my order from a day or two came to.

It’s your lucky day- I actually had your order shipped with the Tian Di Ren Bulang sample when I saw it come in. Enjoy! I am not one for technicalities anyways…
