More mail today! (I don’t get why sometimes USPS delivers multiple times in a single day…)

I got my swap from Ost. She sent me samples of Winter Nog and Eight Candles from Della Terra, as well as Oh Canada from David’s!

I got my part of the Bluebird Tea Co. group order. Thanks so much to QueenOfTarts for organizing everything! I had forgotten which teas I ordered so it was fun to look through all of them. :D

“I had forgotten which teas I ordered” – said like a true tea addict. I thought I was the only one who did that. :))

Hey! In my defense, group orders where almost every tea is split between multiple people are confusing! But good, because everyone can get the amount they want. :)

I’ve ordered a ton of teaware lately. Not admitting to how much.
Today I rescued my first Dragon Tea House order from mail jail. WOW IMPRESSED. Incredibly well packaged (the best teaware packaging I’ve received yet). All the items I received exceeded my expectations. I had already placed another order and I am not regretting that at all. I ordered this from their actual site, the next order I placed through their Aliexpress site – will see if it’s as nice.

Dexter, it should be sent from the same place. A number of companies have there own e-stores as well as shops on eBay, Aliexpress and/ or Amazon. I often get flyers from there other businesses in with my orders from other platforms.

Dexter Im happy that you are happy with your order. That sucks when sellers just gamble on packaging. so now i know if its very cheap on Aliexpress the packaging will be minimal.

Nice pieces!

Dexter said

Boychik – I wouldn’t assume that. Some of my Aliexpress orders were well packaged, others not so much – but this was just so nice and neat. Each piece was wrapped in bubble wrap, but it wasn’t just stuck on – it was as if it were gift wrapped in bubble wrapped.
I agree with yyz that all the Dragon Tea House will come from the same place – just wondering if EVERY package is that well packed or if some employees take more care than others. Was just wondering if this is how EVERYTHING comes. :))

We should ask Marzi, Allan. They did order teaware fr DTH. I only ordered a cake once. Super fast, like a week. Packaging was good for a cake

I will find out how good the packaging at DTH is. I just bought a large 1850ml Ceramic Tea Kettle for boiling water. I hoe their packaging is good. I have only ordered small teawares from them before which were well packaged but not incredibly well packaged.

Not so much what I got in the mail, but more like the massive unexpected tea purchase from my local Marshall’s. I restrained myself, yet spent $65 on tea. Before making the deep cuts, I had probably $130 worth in my arms. Literally in my arms, clutching it because they have no baskets and I intended to go in just for a pair of work shoes I didn’t even end up with.

I got a 12 vial sampler set that came with a little book/catalog from Les Palais The Thes, as well as an iced sampler that was on clearance, a box of Houjicha teabags and a bag of loose Genmaicha from Den’s Tea as well. I am already tempted to go back to get some of the full sized canisters I saw from LPTT and the Den’s tea Sencha I left there.

boychik said

Now I’m green with envy;). Enjoy!!!

Got mine today too! Oddly, I picked out the same tea as you did to start. Figured I better get used to buying tea now, so I had signed up.

I want to do this at some point too!
