Official *What did you get in the mail today?* Thread!!!
More goodies from Amazon! :D
Mavea Water filtration pitcher: http://tinyurl.com/pql8q4s
2-quart Takeya flash chill pitcher: http://tinyurl.com/kesd6ru
Small digital scale: http://tinyurl.com/k32bqpj
All the things! :)
I also got my Laoshan Black Chocolate Genmaicha from Verdant, and they included a sample of 1st Picking Laoshan Bilochun Green. :D
OK you copy cat. I got all the same things in the last couple of weeks from amazon(diferent brand scale but still… weird).
We have good taste!
Hah! Yeah I chose the Mavea pitcher because I had read good things about it recently around here. And I needed something to make iced tea in! :P
Woo-Hoo! My Teavivre order showed up from China. Looking forward to trying:
Organic Superfine Keemun Fragrant Black (which has gotten rave reviews from KS, Caile, and others)
Tie Guan Yin “Iron Goddess” Oolong
Premium Tai Ping Hou Kui Greeen
Taiwan Jin Xuan Milk Oolong (discovered recently that milk ooling makes wicked good iced tea)
Yunnan Palace Ripened pu-ehr
They were also kind enough to include samples of Superfine Taiwan Quing Xian Dong Ding Oolong (with a name like that, how can you go wrong?) and Liu An Gua Pian Green. I’m especially excited about the latter because I had it recently at Dobrá Tea and it bowled me over.
Let the tasting begin!
Says the woman with the Bruins logo as her icon ;-)
I’m not a born and bred New Englander, but I lived here when I was a kid, came back for school in 1980, and other than a few interludes, I’ve never left.
The ’’wicked good iced tea" gave you away:) I started out in the common wealth…then made my way to the granite state. I Cant ever imagine living outside of NewEngland.
Dobra Tea is the most amazing, lovely, remarkable teahouse i’ve ever seen. It’s in Northampton, so perhaps a day trip for you. I reviewed it at http://steepster.com/places/3954-dobra-tea-northampton-mass. Their site is http://dobrateama.com/. Go check it out if you can.
This place looks amazing! Hopefully I can make it there..it would be a little bit of a trek for me…I wish their Burlington location was in Burlington Ma:) not VT. As of right now..I work wicked close to Burlington:).
I got my first ever David’s Tea order. It’s pretty small, just two things from their web specials sale: A whale (yay!) perfect mug with an infuser and a stackable little tin with Buddha’s Blend. I also got free samples of Just peachy (fruit), Cherry Snowcone (fruit) and Glitter & Gold (black).
Pretty cool! And the mug is so lovely :)
I just got that mug too and it’s my new favorite! The only problem is now I want to buy more perfect mugs :-)
Yay, congrats…the whale mug is super cute :-)
And yes, mj, unfortunately, the perfect mugs are totally addictive :-o
I have a slightly different version of that mug that my wife got from Teavana. I use it at work and it’s really fun to watch the tea infuse into the water. You can really appreciate the different colors of liquor that various teas create.
I must say that the infuser is probably the greatest part about it! Well, apart from the whales of course.
I love the infuser too! TTF, which perfect mugs do you have? I want to live vicariously through you!
Haha, mj, just saw this a little earlier, here’s a pic at my perfect mug family just for you :-)

The Butiki TTB! Yay!
So. Much. Tea. There have to be at least 100 different teas here. There are 40 teas that got added by box participants, and Stacy included loads and loads of tea. I would post a picture but I don’t have a flat surface big enough to spread all these teas out on.
A parcel from JustJames in record time from BC. A whole bunch of fun teas ranging from some of the new blends from Whispering Pines, matcha from red leaf tea, some fun flavoured things from Tea Guys and a couple other teas I was curious about! How did you know?
Opened my door to go and put a load of laundry in, and almost tripped over a box outside my door. Mailman did not knock this morning, but at least he left the package.
Yay – Whispering Pines order is here!!!
Awww!!! Finally, yay! You should smack a big kiss on Mr.Awsome Mailman’s cheek next time you see him :-)

That’s an awesome order. Every time I get big orders I’m like omg what should I drink first . Enjoy!!!
I got my (second) purchases from Shadowfall’s stash sale! I got Nosy Bey by Dammann Freres, Kashmir Tchai by Kusmi, and Mango by Fauchon. And she included several small samples too! Plus, she wrapped the “smelly” chai teas in foil, how brilliant is that! :D Thanks a bunch!

The leafhoppers, the aged ooolongs, OMG! If there is said rumored sale I will be putting my order in then! I can’t wait to see what you think. I have been drooling over TTF’s tasting notes for awhile now:) That looks like a fantastic tea day.
I received an unexpected envelope from Ost! She was feeling sorry for me since I hadn’t had a swap in awhile. Thank you, Ost! What a sweetie!
Got some nice teas from KIMQUAT – was able to check some things off my wishlist!! I finally get to try the elusive Banana Pudding tea from 52Teas as well as my first ever Whispering Pines teas! Thanks kimquat~
