Yesterday, I got the Pass The Stash traveling tea box. So exciting!

A lot of propitious postal activity to report today chez sherapop, from half way around the world: our friends at Teavivre.

I had placed an order for bags of Hou Kui and Milk Oolong (unflavored), along with two of the oolong sampler sets, and that order arrived. I also received, in a different package, the Anniversary Sample pack!

Let the tea party begin!!!!!

The dried Hou Kui is so stunning and unique that I have put it on display in a glass jar to admire. Which means of course, that I’ll be reaching for it frequently as a mid-day green in the weeks to come. I realize that we’re supposed to store tea in opaque vessels, but all of this beauty should not be hidden away!

Oooooh! I’m not usually into the greens, but Hou Kui looks amazing!

Expecting my order from Mandala Tea monday.

Got a package from Verdant tea today with an ounce of the elusive Zhu Rong and a sample of their Wuyi Mountain Big Red Robe. I say elusive since about 2 weeks ago, I saw that it was low stock that morning, figured it would still be there by the time I got home that night…but when I got home it was all out. Totally bummed. So I emailed their customer service asking when/if it’ll be in stock. A few days later I got an email back saying that they still had a few ounces left and that they could send me an invoice for what I wanted. Yay!
I ended up being able to use one of the gift certificates I got when their rewards program closed, so I only ended up paying for shipping for this. Super excited to be able to try it….one day at least since I have a super big backstock of other stuff to try first. Lol!

I got some Wuyi Mountain Big Red Robe as part of my new customer sampler.

Haven’t tried it yet though.

Got my order from Mandala Tea today, my first order with them. I got two of the 2014 Wild Monk, the 2012 Year of the Dragon, and the 2012 Noble Mark as well as the Gaba Oolong. I tried to get the 2012 Wild Monk but was too late. AS their computer accidentally allowed me to buy it when they didn’t have it Garret was nice enough to offer me two of the 2014 instead. It is too bad the 2014 isn’t spring tea but it could still be good, we shall see. Garret also included four different samples big enough for about one large brew each. I will start tomorrow with the sample of the Gaba Black Tea.

Congrats on 1st Mandala order!

Great haul…(First mandala order? Welcome to you new addiction…)

AllanK said

The addiction is hardly new, except to Mandala. I’d say its my 50th order of tea online.

I meant Mandala addiction…

There are worse things than having a Mandala addiction. Sorry you missed the 2012 Wild Monk Allan – I thought I had left it long enough for anyone who was interested to grab it. :((

Yay for Saturday mail! I got my Butiki order of mostly fruity teas….the summer sampler, another 1/2 oz of the watermelon xylophone:-), pineapple cilantro cream, bai mu dan. Yum! I was bummed that I didn’t get it before the Butiki party! (I did order more during the sale)

My lovely tea tray arrived, along with my hand painted clay lotus gaiwan. Unfortunately I was running around all day and haven’t had a chance to do anything with either of them!

Yay!!! OMG you guys are so lucky to get mail on saturdays…

SarsyPie said

Whaaaaat? No mail delivery in Canada on Saturdays?

Lol, noooo!!! We’re a little slow here in Canada, haha!

Mind you, my BIL (brother in law) works for them and I’m happy he doesn’t have to work on saturdays so he can get to spend more time with my little wee nephew :-)

mj said

That is a silver lining. Your nephew is seriously cute

SarsyPie said

Here’s the new tray with all my acoutrements. Now I am ready to have everyone over for a tea party!!!!

Ooo, that is beeeeuuutiful!

Lol, mj, you should see the father…Let’s just say that the ladies often wait outside for their mail…haha! he’s hot, but he’s total brother material to me!

Sars…OMG!! I want a tea party with you…The table if huge! And so gorgeous…what a happy little Sarsy you must be :-)

SarsyPie said

I am quite happy! After Brian and I get back from hiking, I want to try it out for realz. All I could do so far was wash it and set it up. The waterproofing on this tray is amazing. And they sent it very securely packaged. I paid a bit more than I wanted, but I really feel this tray was worth it!

My new perfect mug got messed up in the dishwasher. DavidsTea sent me a replacement and it arrived today! Along with surprise samples! Awww.

This is the first time I’ve gotten mail from DavidsTea. These boxes are seriously conspicuous.

Dexter said

LOL yep no way of hiding those boxes. Enjoy your new mug and samples. :))

Kaylee said

Thank you :)

Aww that’s nice, they have the best customer service ever! Enjoy :-)
