Bit late but I got my Verdant Black Friday order a few days ago. Bummed that I didn’t get the sample I requested, but to be fair I did email them after I’d ordered to have it changed when I realized I already had a sample from a previous order. Oh well.

What I really want to know is: who at WP has the gorgeous handwriting that makes plain brown envelopes seem so lovely?

It’s The man himself. You should follow him on Instagram and see his writings.

That would be The Hobbit. You will love your whole order.

I got my card and tea from The Cookie Lady today. She put Birthday Cake from David’s (One of my favorites!!!) and Neptune from Lupicia in a very cute card. Thanks very much. :)

I received an order from Aliexpress today. Seems like this one took quite awhile to get here but it was well worth the wait. :))

The seller was really good. It shipped quickly but was in transit forever. I love it – totally worth the wait….

Received my Teavana order that I had to fight for. Ordered Cyber Monday which was $25 off $60. My order never shipped and when I called they claim my order didn’t exist…as I was looking at it on their website and giving them the order number. They refused to honor my order and told me it was online only not in store. I purchased online to save the drive but my store was doing it, I had called them. SO…I called my store, she apologized and honored the order which I received in two days!
If it hadn’t been for my local store I’d be giving up on Teavana totally!

Got two new Steepsters…had broken my last one….gingerbread tea and the snowflake tumbler.

Teavana does have cute teaware, even if their teas aren’t my favorite. :)

I really do love them, but this made me SO mad! They were totally tricking people who placed online orders by taking away the sales that were still going on in store.

Of course I’ll still have to check out the after Xmas sale.

Lots of people got screwed it seems. :( I’m disputing charges for my last order because it was missing items and they won’t respond to my inquiries for help.

I have ordered from Teavana a lot in the past year and haven’t had any issues. I always hear about people having issues. They have some of the best tins..tis sad that they screw up so much and give themselves a bad rep :(

I still like Teavana’s teawares, but they are too big for gongfu brewing. I think they are very good at flavored white tea.

I got my an order from Berylleb complete with a few samples stuffed into a lovely little red pouch. A swap package from 2 months ago that I totally forgot about. Apparently it got lost/returned. And I received one of my Teavivre orders. The other two were actually out for delivery today, but like usual my mailman didn’t feel like putting them on my porch so he skipped them :(

My Holiday Tea Set from the London Tea Club arrived – an adorable little glass teapot with two tasting cups. It arrived in a lovely black box with a handwritten thank-you note and a free flowering tea.

LTC have not put a foot wrong, so far – excellent service, wonderful products and a really great hand-finished touch that makes it all seem really personable. Definitely glad I decided to join this club! :D

Today I got a very nice and priced right ceramic teapot from the Aliexpress 11/11 sale. It took more than a month to arrive but it is nice. It wasn’t incredibly well packaged. I’m surprised it made it intact.
