Got my 52 teas order today! I must also say how outstanding the service has been. Upon placing my order, I received confirmation of the purchase, an update saying my tea was being packaged and another one saying it was shipped, complete with a tracking number. I can’t wait to bust into these teas, but have ot hold off just a touch because I’m stuffed up and the last tea I drank tasted like bloody water, so….

I got:
-Banana Coconut Upside-Down Cake Honeybush – Large
-Graveyard Mist – Taster
-Marshmallow Treat Genmaicha – Taster
-Strawberry Pie Honeybush – Large
-Walter Bishop Sublime Strawberry Milkshake Honeybush – Taster

Cannot wait! I want to try them all immediately. With milk, straight, with sugar, without…nom!

Today I got a small order from the EBay seller Streetshop88, two ripe teas and three raw teas. It arrived from China in about six days. Streetshop88 has in my experience the fastest shipping, better generally than EMS. The only thing faster is EMS from Japan.
