I got a cute and useable 50ml pot from Aliexpress. It has a seven hole spout and pours in about 5s and the lid seals well.

They included the cup for free.

I got my first tea pets today from CLT. A pair of baby dragons and a tiny frog. They are incredibly cute! I feel like a child again :)

Aaah that’s so awesome! I keep trying to justify buying a tea pet but I haven’t been able to yet. Maybe next month :)

elena-z said

Those tiny frogs at only 4 dollars each :) and their shipping was VERY reasonable.
Just saying :D

Not ‘in the mail’ exactly, but hand delivered- a friend brought me a big box of loose leaf Krasnodar Black Tea with Thyme and Oregano from Russia. I just had a little here at work using ‘not quite boiling’ water from the cooler, but I can’t wait to try it at home with my kettle.

It smells amazing, and now I am craving spaghetti, or something else cooked with oregano.

Today I received my subscription box from Pique Tea. They were running a sale. First months box was free. Have to see how good it is to decide if I want to continue getting it.

I received my Den’s Tea order: Sakura Sencha and a Midori Kyusu. It’s been 2 years since I last purchased from them!

LuckyMe said

I got the Sakura Sencha too. I’m not one for flavored teas but Den’s cherry flavoring is so on point.

It’s been nearly two years since I’ve last had it. I’ve been moving away from flavored teas since then but I hope I still like it. It can’t go wrong with cold-brewing for sure.

LuckyMe said

Yup, this is a great one for cold steeping. Even though the cherry isn’t overbearing, I usually blend it with sencha or genmaicha as I like just a hint of cherry flavor. Helps stretch out my stash too.

Today I got an order from Berylleb King Tea in the mail. I bought three types of chrysanthemum tea and three ripe cakes. Berylleb sent it in two packages but they both arrived today. Got two free samples from them. One looks quite interesting, 2003 Lao Cha Tou nuggets.

One of those is the Elephant raw I think.

AllanK said

No I think I bought Mt Elephant ripe.

AllanK said

Your eyes are good. It is raw. I thought I bought Mt Elephant ripe.

mrmopar said

If the raw ages like the 2006 it will be a fantastic tea. I think the ripe has the yellow wrapper on it. I will take it off your hands if you don’t want to age it away somewhere.

AllanK said

I will give your offer some thought because I had already bought the Mt Elephant raw some six months ago.

mrmopar said

I got Berylleb to carry it so I could get one. There are a couple of others I am going to see if they can get as well.
