how did you get joseph wesley samples? I’ve really wanted to try their teas but 50g for something i’ve never tried is a bit much at this moment in time.

MzPriss said

I had exactly the same issue. But someone, I think JenW showed me – if you go to this page:

http://josephwesleytea.com/collections/tea

On the far right is SA – Tea Samples. When you go to that page, you get them in multiples of three. You add the quantity and as you progress through checkout, they give you an opportunity to say which 3 you want. He threw in a fourth sample of Dian Hong Congfu.

MzPriss said

My bad Sil – not multiples of 3. I think they are in 3, 5, 7, etc

Sil select said

thanks…totally didn’t see that, but now that you’ve pointed it out, it’s stupidly clear lol
Now i just need april to get here so i can order!

MzPriss said

Don’t feel bad – I had to have them pointed out to me as well and April is ALMOST here!

Kusmi madness arrived at my doorstep today: the Afternoon Blends sampler tin set, the Green teas sampler tin set, and a big can of Violet tea.

I am really looking forward to testing everything, above all, the violet tea, as I love violet perfumes.

I received a super awesome welcome to spring tea package from Dexter3657. A total surprise!

My dad was down visiting yesterday and he got to my house before I did, so he picked up the mail. I was a total grumpus when I got home after a bad day.

Dad: “Who do you know in MB that is sending you stuff?”
Grumpus: “None of your business”
Dad: “Why does the package smell?”
Grumpus: “None of your business”
Dad: “What kind of weird stuff are you into?”
Grumpus: (Ponders answering: tea) “None of your business”

Dexter said

Yay, glad you got it.
LOL this makes me feel like a bad influence that your parents don’t approve of. :))
Hope that you have a better day today.

I received an unexpected and very generous package from Dexter3657…thank you so very much. I almost want to cry at how generous people on this site are, compared to the people that I see and deal with on a daily basis. Dexter…THANK YOU!!! You are such a wonderful and generous person. This was a wonderful surprise to come home to after an extremely long and stressful period in my life.

Husband accused me of buying more tea, and I had to show him package that it was from a generous Steepster buddy.

Thank you Dexter3657…YOU ARE AWESOME!!!

Dexter said

Glad you liked it :)) Hope you find a few teas that you enjoy!!

Best mail day ever. I got two surprise boxes from Dexter3657 and boychik, loaded with tea carefully chosen based on my tastes and wishlist (and precious—I know some of them must’ve been hard to part with like the Mandala Black Pearls and H&S’s potentially unavailable Nahorhabi, along with all of those fancy French teas that are hard to procure over here, Harney’s 30th Anniversary Blend and the Joseph Wesley and A&D Spring Keemun from the NYC fest, RiverTea and mysterious Chinese teas from AliExpress and the infamous David’s Blueberry Jam! And a fancypants coffee bean chocolate bar! And EVEN MORE), complete with wonderful, heartfelt notes. Put them up immediately on my fridge. I love Steepster so much. I was having a rough morning complete with arguing with the husband and then after coming from errands there they were. I am very humbled and touched by how kind and caring Steepsters are. <3

boychik said

tea is a cure for bad mood. I’m glad you got two packages just in time.
I love Steepster. I’ve met such wonderful and caring people.

Dexter said

It’s not hard to part with teas when you sharing them with awesome people who appreciate them. :)) Glad you got some packages on a day that you could use a little cheering up.
