The google eyes made me smile too – so cute! :)

TippysTea said

I was so excited when I thought of the googly eyes last minute! Glad you like them. Fishbirds is an awesome description for them! Hehehe

Uniquity said

They remind me of leaves as well!

TippysTea said

Yes, our original idea was to make a tea leaf type animal – we were going for a bird but I know it kind of looks like a fish too.

I haven’t gotten anything in the mail in sooooooo long! I’ve been trying to not order or swap for a while. I’ve done pretty well. Haven’t been getting swaps, TTB’s or buying since January.:( But it has to end sometime, right? Today I received my order from Red Leaf Tea. Awesome, awesome matcha!

I got:

Caramel Matcha
Cheesecake Matcha
French Vanilla Matcha
Green Tea Frappe – Comparable to Starbucks
Matcha Green Tea Caramels
and 18 (!) samples to add to the Matcha TTB.

I’m in heaven!

Drool!

Let us know how the Caramels are.

I made an Upton order this week.

100g of spearmint
50g of lemon grass

Samples of:
Sticky Rice Pu’erh (it’s shou tuocha)
Tai Ping Hou Kui
Kokeicha
masala chai (technically “Chai Spice” but that name isn’t…quite right)
Lapacho Bold Leaf

Oh nice! Haven’t ordered from them in ages.

Their paper catalogs are fun to look through. But I have to be wary of myself xD

Might have to have you ship a crate from Japan. ;) That is absolutely adorable! If the company has a website can you post it here (must get!!!)?

I bought it at a community sale which happens a lot here- however, this was never used and brand new in the box which was odd.
Teapots here at local department stores range from $3 to $20 http://postimg.org/image/yuubi0hfb and I haven’t seen these type, but there are many locals who handmake theirs as well.

Found it! You got a good deal. :)

However you found that is impressive considering how many teapots are out there…

Just Googled “kyusu bird in hole” and looked through images. :)

Hooray for tea friends!

Yay! :D

boychik said

Steph, it’s incredible gorgeous pot. You should put links here that everyone would see. I’m so happy for you <3

Boychik steepster cut off my note. I totally had links! I will repost tomorrow- hard to do on mobile.

Veck makes the craziest nice packages. Everything down to his handwritting is impeccable, I seriously even kept a piece of tissue paper he wrote ‘not a tuo’ on because his hand writing is just so gorgeous. He is so thoughtful and spot on too! I love tea friends, you guys are the bestest!

Yay for Veck! :D

Uniquity said

Wooooow! I love the whole thing! Veck needs to start a tea business…I’d buy! :)

Phi said

He has been talking about it (and Steph make the wrappers) but I haven’t quite gotten him talked into sourcing quite yet.

Uniquity said

Oh yes, Steph could make sweet wrappers!

Block print puerh wrappers is my dream job :D

Tealizzy said

I would totally buy a cake just for one of your block print wrappers, Stephanie!

<3 Tealizzy :)
