I got a half dozen 1oz samples from Simpson & Vail. Super quick shipping. But, god, their packaging is awful!

The Mandala raw sampler came today. Hurray! But I can’t try anything until October.

Yay! Why do you have to wait?

Because it is for my birthday, I should at least have it in the right month.

Today, Saturday, I got the ultimate mail haul. All of my orders converged at once. I got orders from Whispering Pines, Mandala Tea, Yunnan Sourcing USA, and Puerhshop. I got some thirty teas in all and a small yixing teapot from Puerhshop. All the vendors gave at least one free sample.

Oh wow! Look at all that tea! And that yixing teapot!!! Love it. You’re seasoning it with tangerine peel? What are you using it for and how do you season with tangerine peel?

AllanK said

I have not gotten to seasoning it yet, but all you do to season it is boil it for 1 hour with the mix you are seasoning it with, in this case ripe puerh and tangerine peel.

Ubacat said

I’ve yet to try a good ripe puerh with tangerine peel. I’ve seen some of them and plan on getting them one day!

Yesterday was a good tea haul day. I got my Mandala sheng sampler (YAY!) and Tea Sparrow subscription.

I’m interested in trying the Tea Sparrow subscription. How do you like it?

Cheri select said

Some months are better than others. I’ve gotten some teas I have really liked, and some that haven’t interested me at all. That’s the way most subscriptions work, though.

I got my swap from NayLynn! She sent me a bunch of yummy flavored tea samples, and the whole package smells like banana (Foxy Roxy, Banane Chocolat, and Banana Pudding Genmaicha). Can’t wait to try some of these sweeties! Thanks dear. :D

Where is the Banana Genmaicha from?

Ah, I should have known.
