Yeah same here. I feel like I’m cheating a little but maybe the PST was just a typo?

I ordered a $30 one! Couldn’t justify the $60 one as I just stocked up at DavidsTea during the holidays and their boxing day sale. Can’t wait to see what I get!

they are up early!

I’m so glad I was still able to get the $60 and $30 ones as I was supposed to! I calculated the time zone stuff and they clearly went live WAY early. I would have been super pissed if I missed out (and Sil & momo too!)…

They are still available as of 11 AM EST.

here’s a picture of someone’s $30 bag from 2012, they also listed everything that came with it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/quadrophenia/6675427787/in/photostream/

And just like that, my first New Year’s resolution has been broken… Phooey!

momo said 2013-01-01 13:28:17 -0500

After I found out about these, my resolution to not buy more tea till I drink a bunch down was changed to start after this. Once a year things don’t count!

hey guys, it is the start of a new year so let’s not start it feeling down. think of a positive thing that will result from you getting that tea: like being able to share more with family :)

Thus begins a year of frugality haha

Awkward Soul said 2013-01-01 16:47:14 -0500

sweet, they are open today? I’m nearish the torrance one and have been meaning to go there.

Lady 0f Spaydes said 2013-01-01 17:44:45 -0500

That’s the one I am going to. Mitsuwa is always open on holidays.

Awkward Soul said 2013-01-01 18:22:59 -0500

sweet, I went up there right after I saw your post! Woot, save $7 shipping

I wasn’t going to get one, but I gave in. Got one for me and one for a friend who has a January birthday.

Awkward Soul said 2013-01-01 18:18:17 -0500

I was going to order for sure, but I dislike Lupicia’s shipping costs / all other teas I wanted are out of stock.

My husband was happy to take me to the lupicia about 20 minutes away, woooot!

No tea ware, but lots of good stuff, got the $30 bag

Momoko
Good Morning
Champagne rose
Fantasy
matcha kirara rice
rooibos mediterranee
darjeeling, second flush
grapefruit green
strawberry vanilla

I already have strawberry vanilla, but oh well, now I have more!

Azzrian said 2013-01-01 19:08:45 -0500

Was there any teaware or tea ball etc included? Sounds like a lot of excellent tea!

Awkward Soul said 2013-01-01 19:15:28 -0500

no teaware at all, just the 9 packages of tea. Maybe in store doesn’t have teaware.

Azzrian said 2013-01-01 19:18:06 -0500

Oh well you probably just got more tea then! I looked the ones up I was not familiar with – they all sound really excellent.

Lady 0f Spaydes said 2013-01-02 01:11:15 -0500

Momoko is one of my favorites. Make sure you brew it below boiling or it will be bittedr Strawberry vanilla has become my go-to when I have guests. I haven’t met anyone who doesn’t like it and their darjeeling 2nd flush is really good.

Kittenna said 2013-01-02 03:47:05 -0500

Wow – sounds like an awesome haul! I hope Sil & I get a similarly awesome assortment!
