My swap from Courtney arrived today, and my Amoda box came in yesterday!
Oh, and Sil gave me 72 teas today when we did a quick swap downtown.
I am drowning in teas. It’s amazing. I’m at 253, but a lot of it is really small samples and I expect to get that number down quickly. I’m not allowed to buy more until I hit 150. /newrule/
Drowning, shmowning….as key change would say, I only gave you a small suitcase ;)
I just realized I have 48 different Adagio samples now, between you, MissB, Shmiracles and the ones I grabbed. I hope Shmiracles’ box to you bumps you up A LOT. :P
(lurking in the corner enjoying this exchange – makes me happy to know that I’m not alone with my cupboard issues…)
hahahaha yes… but that’s because we regularly share teas…so i just toss it in her box until i gets full. Similarly with a few other ppl.. :)
Well, I noticed that in your tasting notes you very often mention that you put the rest of such and such a tea for this or that person… So I shouldn’t have been surprised that it eventually amounts to something like 72! :D
if it makes you feel better, terri’s box to me was about 60 the other day hahahah
Lol, if that’s a “quick swap” I’m afraid to imagine what a “slow swap” would look like!!
(Oh, and +1 with Dexter)
I received a generous package of samples from Teavivre. Thanks! Looking forward to trying them. I’ve been looking after an injured relative recently, but I look forward to spending some quality time with my teas shortly.
Yyz, I understand what you’re going through, good quality time is much needed in your situation, enjoy :-)
(I also got my samples for reviews last week from teavivre, wow,wow,wow, right??)
My Butiki order arrived in the mail today and then I found my Red Leaf order sitting at my door. I’m excited to try the Butiki samples! This will also be my first time trying a flavored matcha… Caramel MATCHAccino. :)
I just finished trying it blended with almond milk and ice and it’s delicious! Now I understand…
Hahaha! Yes. It is so delicious. Especially the MATCHAccinos. The Coconut MATCHAccino is also a great choice hint, hint. :P
Great tea day! I got my Butiki order and the mystery package from MissB. Getting ready to have Maple Pecan Oolong right now :)
