Do you order interesting things to get something in the post? I used to do that. It’s how I got a lot of my favourite books.

Oh, so many good ones! I am in love with the Pineapple Upside Down Cake.

Can’t wait to try them! I just had to open them all and smell them! Since they’re black teas though, they’ll have to wait until morning. Looks like Friday will be a busy tea day!!

somewhere in the mess i got some black dragon pearls i can’t wait to try (even though im not normally a black guy…hope they are good).

Emily M said 2013-02-22 23:21:00 -0500

As someone who also normally doesn’t like black teas, I’d be interested to see what you think of them. I’ve always been curious, but too afraid to buy them. Hope you like them!
