I got my What-Cha box. This company knows about customer service. A friendly letter from Alistair enthusing about my choice of tea and a free sample thrown in is going to get me coming back (providing I like the tea, which so far I do!).

Another thing I like is that their sample size is 10g, allowing for a couple of brews.

The teas are:-

- Thailand ‘Royal Pearl’ Red Oolong, which comes in a fine red wrapper
- Malawi ‘Dr. Hastings’ Whim’ Oolong
- Mystery Tea (Indonesia Toba Wangi Green Tea)
Samples:-
- China Anhui Huoshan Huang Ya Yellow Tea
- Malawi Zomba Pearls White Tea
- Thailand 2016 What-Cha ‘Pang Kham’ Raw Dark Tea
- Japan Obubu Kyobancha Green Tea [free sample]
- India Bihar Doke Hand-Made ‘Rolling Thunder’ Oolong

The last-named is the one I’ve tried first. It’s very gluggable indeed. Definitely ordering from these again.

Today I got two raw puerhs in from the EBay seller Vin_enjoy. I’ve been bidding on a lot of his auctions lately and got these two for a fairly good price. One of them seems to be a Nan Jian Tea Factory production even though I don’t think it was billed as that and they generally make some excellent tea.

I got nothing, because the postal guy failed to deliver it another 20 feet.

Today I got two beautiful Yixing teapots and a Yixing Cha Hai from EBay seller missteapots. She is my favorite teapot seller on EBay and perhaps anywhere. The teapots came in beautiful gift storage boxes and the Cha Hai came with a wrap.

Got the tea of the month box from White 2 Tea. This Puerh tea is delightful!

A Xiaguan purple-box fangcha, and an bing of 8653, both from 2006 I think.

My YS order finally arrived yesterday. Got two dan congs, mi lan xiang and feng huang, and two wuyis: wild da hong pao and huang mei gui. Also picked up a golden monkey for a friend and a few misc teaware items (bamboo tools, tea towel, and coaster).

The mi lan xiang is a very finicky tea but when you get it right, it’s spectacular – like drinking sweet juicy peaches.
