Super excited. Finally got my BF Harney order in. Really excited for these two things:
https://www.harney.com/flowtea-charme-glass-tumbler-w-infuser.html
https://www.harney.com/matcha-bowl-chawan-hagi-celadon.html – this was so much bigger than I thought it would be. It is like the size of an onion soup bowl. The colour is a bit different too but I still love it!

I just wanted to say kudos to Harney’s staff because I was really worried about shipping as well as the cold here up North and that they would break, but the packaging was superb.

Dexter said

Both pieces are really nice – but WOW that chawan is amazing. Enjoy your new pieces Lala. :))

beautiful!!!

Dinosara said

Oh my goodness Lala I LOVE that tumbler!! I wish I knew it was on there around Black Friday! Thanks for pointing it out, though, it will be mine eventually!

Lala said

Thanks everyone. Dinosara – I totally came across the tumbler by accident. I had never seen it on Harney’s site before, even when searching for teaware, etc. But they were advertising it as part of “a gift package for him”. So then I found it and it is not just for hims, it can be for hers too. Ha ha. Just search flowtea on Harney. The company is German (I think) and sells other designs, they are all beautiful, but Harney only has the one design.

Dinosara said

Very cool. I love the kingfisher! Now I’m waiting for Harney to post another sale… (they seem to have them fairly frequently, so maybe after Christmas?)

This was an awesome mail day:

I received my Black Friday order from Teavivre. I had an issue paying with a gift card on their site and not only did I receive prompt and courteous help in solving the problem, they also threw in samples of two blooming teas along with my order.

I also got a completely unexpected and incredibly sweet Christmas card from The Cookie Lady with TWO tea samples from my wish list!

Steepster people are the best!!!

boychik, I didn’t join it yet. I can’t decide which sub I want. I think I’ll probably get rid of one of my subs I have and switch to that one. I wish there was a smaller version of the premium plan.

boychik said

Pls try 1990 HK. i still have leaves, cannot let go. i dunno how many days, here and there…

Dexter said

One of these days I’m going to break down and order some samples from them. I need to do some research to make informed choices. Everything just looks so good. Thanks for sharing Cheri.

Cheri select said

I hope to try the 1990s HK this weekend. My biggest problem with tea at home right now is that I had to move my kettle back into the kitchen. I had it out to do gongfu in our main room, but the power source I was using was the extension cord that only exists for our christmas tree lights. Since I had to give it back over to the lights, and I can’t reach from it to the table where I put my kettle, it’s back in the kitchen. Sigh. It’s much more of a pain when I have to keep getting up for a couple of ounces, or to reheat my water.

Cheri select said

Dexter, I asked people I trust for recommendations, and read the descriptions. Paul has samples of most of his teas, so that’s a good route to go. I was slightly drunk when I placed my order, so I went whole hog in on a few cakes just for the name.

I got my subscription box from Amoda! It had samples of:

Ginger Cream by Aromatica Fine Teas
Wild Woman by Tay Tea
Celebration Medley by Sloane Tea
Ball & Chain by Indie Tea

Also there were a few disposable tea filters and a marshmallow that tasted like chai! :)

Still no package from me? Wah!

Inorite? Your package is a super slacker. :P

Wild woman. Appropriate!

Oh please, we all know you’re the wild one of the bunch.

I got my Black Friday order from Verdant. I’m looking at it going “what was I thinking??” – ordered 1oz each of 9 teas! Note to self: none of them seem very expensive individually, but they add up! Had to try the Laoshan Black first and it was amazing, so I’m excited to try the rest. But it’s after 6pm now and I had trouble sleeping last night, so I should probably stop with the caffeine. Sigh. #teaproblems

SarsyPie said

Wow, jealous. I got an email saying mine would be delayed. :(

Lindsay said

Aww, I feel your pain. I live in the middle of nowhere, so I pretty much expect everything to take a long time to get here.

Today I got my package from the EBay seller Streetshop88, the 357g bing was recommended here by a couple of people and the 100g bings are a shot in the dark but I trust the seller. He has yet to sell me anything terrible and has supplied me with some good puerh.
