Yesterday I got my monthly Lupicia newsletter + tea sample.

Ugg, I still haven’t drank the last 2 samples I received.

I am signed up for that but I only get about half of them! It’s so weird. I also find myself hoarding the samples for “just the right moment” (which never seems to come haha)

I got my sTeap shoppe order! One day after shipping! Super fast, but that could be because I think they are located only about an hour or so away from me! I’m so excited to try the cinnamon swirl bread tea!!!! It’s too cruel though, because I can’t drink caffeinated tea until the morning! Aaaaaahhhh! I must say, also, that the sample size teas I ordered were generous, like 0.5 oz! That’s great!

I hate when that happens. Stupid caffeine!

Sil said 2013-03-19 21:02:15 -0400

Nice! What all did you order other than the cinnamon swirl bread?

Tealizzy said 2013-03-20 11:10:38 -0400

I got samplers of black and white, milk chocolate, vanilla bean, sunrise sensation, and Darjeeling second flush jungpana oolong! I’m drinking cinnamon swirl bread RIGHT NOW! OH MAN!!! I’ll write a log soon!

I am visiting my parents, which means picking up all the tea orders I’ve had shipped here (so I don’t have to deal with my post office orz). I got:

52teas TOTM Backlog: Red Velvet Mate, S’mores Genmaicha, Cuba Libre, Peach Cardamom. And I got my Marshmallow Genmaicha right before I left!
Red Leaf: Apple Pie and Rich Berry Pie Matchas
Della Terra: Strawberries & Cream, Rainforest Nectar, Shamrocks & Shenanigans, Perfect Pear. Free samples were Dirty Chai and Peach Oolong—I actually already have Dirty Chai, but hey, it’s free!

And this past week I’ve gotten big swaps with TastyBrew and Azzrian along with my Zhi order (Coconut Assam, Saigon Rose, Vanilla Rose, White Rose).

After not getting things for a while, it was a lot to get in 5 days!

My RLT matcha latte mix testing samples came in!

Heavier than expected! Very excited to try! I wish my mail came in the morning, as my mail comes too late in the day for me to have powerful matcha caffeine.

Squee! So excited to try them! Thanks for the preview :)

No problem. I can’t wait to try them either!

Its on the webpage now :) i think its rather silly that they did two pu`erhs with the month of the first trial. mind you i’m already signed up to continue but i’m no big fan of pu`erh so..

i imagine you can easily swap them out for other quality teas

Small
Emily M said 2013-03-21 11:51:39 -0400

I think they wanted everyone to be able to tell the difference between sheng and shu. But yeah, it kinda stinks if you don’t like pu’erh much. =(

Small
Stephanie said 2013-03-21 11:52:38 -0400

I’ve never had a high quality pu-erh so I’m pretty excited. Maybe they’ll be awesome!

Small
Emily M said 2013-03-21 11:59:09 -0400

I like pu’erh, so I’m excited too. I think they’ll be really delicious!
