Two days in a row of incredible teamail! Today, two packages from the wonderful Liquid Proust. LP teas: Peppermint Nom Nom (which smells incredible btw), Nostalgia, Sweet Cocoa Roasted Genmaicha, Japanese Trio, and Balls of Thanks. Also some Drunk on Red, Bang Dong sheng from YS, Golden Bud, Sench Puerh (?), and a “no name” tea from YS that looks a lot like Bilochun. Yay! I’m on tea-purchase lockdown now. Seriously.

A month ago when I received two large tea shipments on the same day, I decided it was time to go into a complete lockdown. Didn’t last too long, as I placed a 100 Euro order a week ago, but hey, at least I tried!

@Psyck I am looking at an EoT site as we speak…..Must resist….

yyz said

I’ve been rather good so far but I’m afraid of what may happen when I give in again.

Grill said

Resistance is futile

Psyck said

Or, as Oscar Wilde put it, I can resist anything but temptation…

EoT was indeed where I placed my last order. This teapot:

and some puerh samples, to get the order above 100 for free shipping.

I have that same teapot and love it. My favorite yixing by a mile. Drink young sheng and mid aged dry stored sheng out of it

mrmopar said

@Psyck great little pot! I am afraid to order there as of yet..

curlygc said

Oh boy, that teapot sure is pretty. I would like a teapot like that. Just like that. runs away

Psyck said

@Grill, good to know, I will also dedicate this to sheng and the relatively cheaper pot which is on the way from TeaVivre to shu.

Grill said

The only issue with that pot is the pour isn’t super fast to. Early brews with really young sheng or bitter teas need to be water in and out. Mine is about 15 to 17 second pour empty but under 10 tea once the leaves start to fill the pot

Jeez… you know it’s bad when you get that familiar little Chinese tea mail package and for a solid minute you’re like “what is this? Did I place an order I don’t remember?” Sure did! Apparently I felt the need to order a whole bunch of green tea from Verdant at some point a few weeks ago. Lots of Laoshan (green and black) and Bilochun. Seriously, lockdown.

Grill said

The lockdown is a lie. Set your wallet free lol

Yes, it’s happened to me too.

Today I got my order from Whispering Pines. Very surprised to see some tea I didn’t order. o: I got 2oz of Pine Peak Keemun and 2oz of Ailaoshan Black Tea. But also 1oz of Yunnan Gold Tips. O: I am a first-time customer of Whispering Pines, so I don’t know if this is to be expected or just a little error. Either way, I’m so excited to try out all these new teas. :D

Usually I toss in a 1/4oz sample but I was feeling pretty generous that day :-) Enjoy!~

I got a lovely box from liquid proust which basically equates to a whole load of Oolong that i didnt know what it would be. It came at the right time with me not very well in bed, but not with any flu symptoms that would change my taste. hurrah!

It’s the first of many to come :)
I’m awaiting a few more shipments before part two comes your way.

Rasseru said

Yeah i did wonder, there was some puehr mentioned in the thread which wasn’t there, I wasn’t sure if you thought I only wanted Oolong or both. (im interested in puehr more and more now.)

Also if you have got any more of your own fruity blends if love to try them, anything citrus or floral, I’m loving the elixir #9

Ones that I can make a bigger order of if I like them

How about I just send you short of a pound of tea when I mail out your portion of the aged oolong sampler? Just PM when the time comes.

Rasseru said

yeah ok, I will do that.
