I got my new electric kettle in the mail today, woohoo!
It’s this one: http://tinyurl.com/nsvl353

We also got a pound and a half of beef jerky that my boyfriend ordered last week. We are both staunch meat lovers. :D

Ooo! So fancy! :O

I like it a lot so far! It’s quite fast and the carafe feels nice and heavy, which I consider a good thing. :) And the buttons aren’t too clicky! Hooray!

Ost said

Yah! :D Yeah, when I started using an electric kettle I fell in love with how awesome it was. I’m too impatient to go back to a normal kettle :P

Not tea per se but I just got “Tea: History, Terroirs, Varieties” book in my Amazon package. I am ready to start reading it right away!

My favorite book on tea :>

I could see just by skimming it that it was going to be amazing. I have just been through a few pages and already learned a lot :)

Got my bamboo wrapped tong of 2005 Menghai tuos from Yunnan Sourcing today. This is the tea that almost turned me into a woman of ill repute, bench warrant here I come, hello Your Honor, I didn’t mean to do it, only this tea that I have…I also ordered a supply of bamboo charcoal. I am hoping to replace insanely expensive Brita filters with it.

Got my samples from Good Life Tea. Wish the Hot Cinnamon one wasn’t one of the black tea options. It kinda takes over the other scents.

I got my Whispering Pines order today! Woo! :D

Did you sample any? Enjoy!

Ost said

I tried the Golden Snail (Bi Luo Chun) Yunnan Black Tea which was amazing! And Ailaoshan Black Tea, which was also pretty good!
I don’t feel well enough to write tasting notes for those though. But they were definitely good!

MzPriss said

Those are two excellent ones

verdant order….laoshan black and trad. tgy.

out of any sample they could have chosen they chose jasmine silver needles…I hate silver needles and jasmine….

boychik said

To prevent this in a future ask them for a sample you want. Verdant is awesome, I always ask and they always give me the sample I like :-)

Got the ‘Another Traveling Tea Box’ in the mail today. Haven’t opened it, but very much excited to be a part of this one again.

Received 2 orders from Mandala Tea in the past 2 days. First, I received my Phatty Cake II along with a tea pick. This is my first sheng pu-erh, and I was excited to get it. The next day, I got my Mandala Tea Thermos, which I am super pumped about. Now I can have tea at work!! Hooray! Garrett included 2 samples in each box. I am still a tea novice in comparison to most people on Steepster, so I am incredibly excited to be trying so many new teas.

That’s great Clint! Mandala is certainly one of the finest place to start with :-)

I also have that Shu cake, haven,t tried it yet, just got mine too. know that you can’t go wrong with Garret’s pu’erh, they rock!!!

Clint said

Ah! I keep getting “sheng” and “shu” mixed up, haha. Thank you for the correction. I really loved it when I tried it out last night, and I am sure you will too!

Lol, it’s ok, it is confusing at first, cooked, raw, shou or shu :-)
