Official *What did you get in the mail today?* Thread!!!
I received my Tao Tea Leaf order today!!!! I have Jin Ping back in my house, that makes me very happy. I have my second favorite oolong back in the house, that makes me very happy. I also have several new ones to try, that makes me very happy. And it was on sale…. :))
Scribbles – can’t think about Tao with out thanking you for introducing me to their teas. Thank you!!!!
A second Ru Gaiwan. It’s the same as my other one though it was signed by a different maker. I use my first one everyday. It’s nice and thick walled and its 150ml volume is practical for most things. Now I just want a <1O0ml one.
I would like a yixing ( of two:)), there is even one I should of bought on eBay but I hesitated, but the Gaiwan was a very good price and I love the other one.
I love yixing pots – but they are so addicting, so cute. I need to stop buying them too. But if you prefer and love your gaiwan that’s awesome. I only have one, and really don’t use it that often. :))
You have to be careful with fake yixing on eBay. Read some teachat on yixing. I’m amazed. It’s a science which clay and shape really make your tea shine.
I finally got my JULY Simple Loose Leaf subscription box today!!! Andrew at SLL was really good about the whole situation, great customer service. Canada Post totally effed up and didn’t deliver my package, sent it back to them, so he had to reship it. Boo on Canada Post….
The other news is:
I have ZERO tea inbound!!!! That’s it I’m done – officially on serious hiatus!!!
(I still have one YS order that I’m waiting for, but it’s all teaware…)
I bought this tea table for me:

And a little surprise for someone else that I don’t really want to mention. :))
that’s a nice table :) now to go 3 more weeks with no orders dex. you can doooo eeet!
Oh love it . It’s beautiful table. Enjoy!
I want a table myself but no place to put it after. Maybe I’ll get something tiny
LOL – I have a slight furniture problem, my TV is sitting on my coffee table – hoping this will encourage me to start living like an adult, buy a TV stand, reclaim my coffee table, then can gongfu in the living room…. that’s the plan :))
I received two separate orders from Streetshop88 today, one ripe cake and one ripe tuocha. Both were EBay auctions. Streetshop88 has become one of my favorite EBay sellers. There shipping is super fast, the ship the same business day, and their teas have been pretty good.
i have bought teaware from them in the past and really enjoyed. Their tea tables are so nice and affordable.
Enjoy :-)
They sell an excellent style of Yixing container.

I have two of them.
I got MORE Whispering Pines tea today covers face in shame, but is still grinning madly
Rivendell
2nd breakfast
Silver Moonlight White
I already tried Rivendell and it blew me away!
Lariel Rivendell IS awesome! I highly recommend it.
Thanks Dexter, I feel much more validated now :)
It’s on my Whispering Pines future order list. It should come with half-elf lords though.
My lost by Canada Post parcel showed up today. Yay. It’s Da Hong Pao from this company. The seller asked to send it to me in it’s local brand packaging and I’m glad I did as this ones a metal tin embossed with the village and map on this home page. It’s fun to look at.

Once again he used stamps so I have more of this beautiful bird series from China.

It was dangerous looking at aliexpress to let the poor seller know it’s been found though because I bought more tea.
Wow, those stamps are lovely! Explains why people collect stamps.
And I’m a sucker for cool packaging! And of course, it’s even cooler when it’s foreign.
do i get it right, while you left a feedback you bought more tea?
congrats, tin is awesome, i love stamps, used to collect when i was little. now i start thinking, i used to collect stuff since i was 4-5 yrs old. different stuff. now its more expensive;)
Something was on sale in my cart. It was a good price because other sellers usually sold it for twice of the listed price and it was an additional 20% off, but yes I did. It’s a different Laoshan from the others I have tried before.
Ok Steepster people
This is me today, like Meg Ryan in Katz’s Delicatessen – in “When Harry Met Sally”
First, I got a package from caile with two fabulous generous samples of Superfine Keemun Mao Feng by Teavivre and hand Picked Autumn TGY Verdant
Thank you so much caile
My second package was from Marzipan, our joined order of Tao Tea Leaf.
You rock! Count me in next time. you did a great professional job organizing, ordering, packing and sending out. Thank you so much!!!
My third package was from Jing Tea Shop. 25g samples of Da Hong Pao, Milan Dancong. the box was pretty beat up. YS and Teavivre use much stronger carton boxes. After all it comes from China. Hope the leaves werent damaged. didnt open yet.
I feel high
My husband laughed at me when I opened the (mostly) unflavored TTB last night because that’s what I was like.
So far I’ve gotten my small H&S order…and keep laughing because they literally sent me 4 of the same exact samples. xD All Organic English Breakfast.
They really want me to like this tea apparently :P
Tons of tea today! http://instagram.com/p/raJNQrRWAM/
I got my order from The Jasmine Pearl including two samples that I really wanted to try and a nice little note on the invoice.
And I got my Tao Tea Leaf order from Marzipan who was amazing throughout the whole process. What a great mail day.
curious about your teas from the jasmine pearl..always love seeing reviews on companies i haven’t heard about
Oooh, I’m curious about The Jasmine Pearl’s teas too. Those pouches are too cute! :D
