Holy cow! That poor box looks like it was dropped off a cliff a few times. Lol.

They beat a box up on me this week breaking 2 of the 4 cups I got in an Ebay auction.

Yikes! Your poor tea. Was it the same driver?

wah, that sucks mrmopar!

As far as I can see, my tea is fine. No dings on the tin, though the white tea might been crunched. They did put packing fluff, but that only does so much against crazy USPS. Should see my mail slot, the metal is bent on the inside from them jamming too big of boxes through.

I thought it was funny about the stealing your pomegranates.

Today I received a box from Teavivre with 200g of Yun Nan Dian Hong black tea! I had received a sample of this tea some time ago with another order, and fell in love with the tea!

Since it was on sale last week i ordered some for my cupboard.

I got a sample of that with my order today. Haven’t tried any Teavivre teas, really excited to try them. That one must be good if you ordered 200g :))

Gene said

There is a lot of good tea on the Teavivre website, and many are counted among my favorites. But the Dian Hong is a particularly nice black tea. If you like strong tea brew it for 3 minutes, if you like a milder tea, go for 2 minutes.

I was drinking their black pearls last night and really enjoyed them. Will try the Dian Hong soon – sounds like 3 min steep. Thanks for the advice.

Awesome! Good tea day :D Interested to see your review of the plum matcha!

VERY GOOD TEA DAY INDEED!

btw. What kind of milk is best for matcha? whole milk, almond, soy, rice?

Whatever type of milk YOU prefer. They all work well :)

What seems to be the preferred one or yours?

I prefer the taste of real milk with matcha, but I am lactose intolerant so I have to take a pill to drink milk. So, sometimes I drink almond and like that just fine too :)

double thumbs up * Thank you. I take those pills too:)

Yay, enjoy! I enjoyed Smaug Tea a lot.

I tried the Pu-erh mini cake you sent me and the taste triggered a memory of me trying and liking pu-erh at tea cellar back in 2008. Will definitely check out Butiki Tea’s Pu-erh. Thanks :)

Glad to hear it! Yay puerh!
