I got an order I placed specifically to get the tea I wanted to share for Pass The Stash v1.0.

I also got tea from Cameron – Wee Snaily Yums. It’s probably too late in the day for me to enjoy those, so the snailys will wait until tomorrow.

Doesnt that defeat the purpose of pass the stash…lol:)

Kind of, yeah, but with the order switch, I didn’t have anything anything at all like anything on carol who’s wishlist. I ordered something for myself, so it’s okay.

Got my DavidsTea order today as well! No actual tea, aside from the samples they included, since I’m on a (mostly) self-imposed tea buying hiatus. But I did get two of the tentacle mugs that I was so pining after, plus a color changing lobster mug for my sib that is just adorable. Also ordered the noble cups to get over the shipping threshold, but they are surprisingly lovely? Much bigger and more vibrant than I expected them to be, and the coaster/lid is a fun touch.

I received six 25 gram samples from Taiwan Tea Crafts—my first order from them, direct from Taiwan.

I’m really looking forward to trying these oolong teas, which happily are packed in vacuum suctioned hermetically sealed metallic envelopes. Can’t wait to cut them open to get the first sniff!

i’ve been disappointed with TTC as a whole – I think they market too much. their teas can be quite nice though.

Wow! That is adorable!

SarsyPie said

Thanks! It’s actually similar to one that MzPriss has. Same idea, slightly different pattern. The link to the cups was recently posted on the Teaware Lust discussion topic. I’d really love to get those, also.

mj said

It is super cute :-)

SarsyPie said

Thanks mj!! I am really happy with it. Outside of aesthetics, it has a wide rim that doesn’t overheat like some of my other gaiwans!

Frolic select said

That is really beautiful. Where did you find it?

Wow!!! Oh, it is so gorgeous…congrats sarsy! Did you end up getting the matching cups yet?

SarsyPie said

Thanks, TTF! No cups yet. They’re pricey, too. Gotta recover from my pu’erh spree first!

My other Teavivre anniversary order came today.

That’s great :-)

boychik said

nice, enjoy! mine is in IL since July 26, not a move :(

It seems to get to California fairly easily, but my boxes tend to hang out in San Francisco a lot.

boychik said

It’s super fast to NY. But I’m currently in PA. Never saw tea coming from China thru Chicago. Still nothing:/

Sil select said

which pot is that from mandala?

(also very jealous!)

Your haul looks awesome.

Ubacat said

Oh I LOVE that pot. So cute! You’re going to enjoy that one.

Thanks y’all! It arrived at on a day I really needed something to cheer me up.

Sil, you have only a few more days to go!! Then it’s AUGUST!!! PAR-TEA TIME!!
And yes, the pot is called Legendary Beauty and is from Mandala, and it wears its name really well…

Sil select said

teafairy… i love yours… i’ve been looking at that one and mandala’s http://shopmandalatea.com/tea-wares/yixing-pots/blue-clay-heavy-droplet-yixing.html

(and technically teaware can be purchased whenever…i’ve just been trying to keep form getting in to that…)

Sil, I would TOTALLY get it! It is NOT tea, so yeah, whenever, as in…NOW!! It would have been one of my choices, but for some reason, my brain told me I needed a light colour for sheng…go figure!

I got two international deliveries today. One from the Amazon.com Dragon Tea House (not to confuse them with www.dragonteahouse.biz a different company) and it had two 2009 ripe Puerhs. Both small production tea, don’t yet know the quality. I also got a delivery from Berylleb King Tea ( my favorite EBay tea vendor) of Lightly Roasted Lishan Oolong tea. It came in a reusable tin as good as any you buy at a tea store. Berylleb included a nice free sample of another oolong tea in three small 8g packets. Berylleb is a great company. They always package the tea very well. They use a box no matter how small the order and it is always wrapped in white foam wrap as well. Berylleb always treats their customers right and their shipping is good, generally 7 – 10 days to the New York area.
