Official *What did you get in the mail today?* Thread!!!

Excellent! Glad you subscription box arrived safely

Gorgeous!

yes, beautiful!

Thanks! I love it. I got it at www.aliexpress.com/store/526436. The seller sent it by epacket so it arrived here quite quickly.
There’s at least a couple of others I’d like as well.

love it :)

Yay! :)

decanting the teas and getting to smell them all was the highlight of my day! (yes, i lead a simple life… :b )

Yay for simple pleasures!

Sil, the fact that you have a tea mule is disturbing to me, every time I read about it…
(Plain sheer jealousy!!!!)

haha sadly (but great news for her) she’s leaving me in January so i’ll be back to making wildly crazy purchases every time i go to Florida and bringing an extra suitcase just for tea. :)

also…my very first puerh cake so i’m super excited!

Wow, that’s great! I haven’t bought a whole cake yet, still want to experiment with it a little more before I do. What exactly did you get?

It knocked my socks off and since i missed out buying the other cake from Mandala that i really wanted, i said to hell with it!

YAY! so glad it made it safely :)

seems to me like you need to share your address with me so i can send random tea surprises sometimes :)

Ok, you are too cute and too sweet!
I’m waiting for a couple of orders and I braved the cold and the snow to get to the mailbox today all for nothing!!! Grrrr! Is there worst things in life??? Lol, ok I guess there are. but I’m still super annoyed!

yay!

yay indeed!

Mine is still not here. Get yo shit together Canada Post in Montreal! Yay for Cacao tea though :)

heh i’ve had to resist ordering… the orange lapacho is up now..but i think if i order i’ll be over 150 at the end of the month…so i need to wait just a bit longer so that i can drink more up first heh

makes me think of Portlandia. “CACAO!!”

VariaTEA boo, I would have thought you would get yours first. I think geographically you are closer – not that that means much to Canada Post.
Sil- so you want me to wait until NY to send you some of this….

Ugggg none of the Christmas Teas are in the data base. They are also not listed on their website. How am I suppose to enter these with no info?

The tracking number said it arrived in Montreal Friday and yesterday morning it was processed at the local facility. Then today it was processed again at the local facility. I leave for Florida Thursday morning and I have a feeling my packages will arrive when I am at my exam Monday night and they were be trapped in mail jail forever :(

Dexter – I was thinking the same thing. We’ll probably just have to add the name and that’s it, unless we take our own pics if the teas.

Mine will be here tomorrow, although I can’t open them until Christmas!

That’s strange, mine was processed at local facility this morning, and they still delivered. I think it was mailed late Thursday, and I got it today.
Hopefully you will get yours tomorrow….

Dexter…naw whatever makes your life easier. Lol im sure I’ll manage more than one sipdown a day between tomorrow and the 31….especially since I can work from home lots next week!

I vote you guys have a photo shoot for the teas! :)

Cavocorax Are you volunteering? :)) I don’t even fully understand what some of them are. There are three that I will pass on without even opening them – definitely not to my taste, then there are two more that I wish I had an ingredient list… Oh well, I’m going to be lazy and wait a couple of days and see if someone else enters them. :))

Email dan?

Maybe? I’ll fill in what I can! I wrote down all the names and what types of tea they are on my spreadsheet. Pica will have to wait until after Christmas, although I might do a group shot of the teas tomorrow. I wonder what they threw in for Steepster purchases? I’m sure they said we’d get a sample or something.

I think I’ll just rip the packages open, take a sniff and make a decision. I’m not allergic or anything. Just some of the names don’t really tell you what it is…

I didn’t get a bonus, but I didn’t really tell them I was with Steepster. NOT upset.
OK – I’ll do days 1-6 right now…. If you want to add photos you can.

VariaTea, I’m having the same problem with another parcel. First, they sent it to the sorting station in Toronto then back to Mississauga then they processed it 5 times in one day. They processed it today as well but as of now it hasn’t made it to my substation. Hopefully your parcel moves on tonight!

What do you think Absinthe Frost White is? What flavor is that? Absinthe is really herbal and licorice ish….
Do you think there would be mint in Milk and cookies?
What makes Nordic Almond "Nordic’?

yyz, that sucks about your package. Canada Post is doing some strange things. For my package, they literally processed it at the local facility yesterday morning and then again this morning but it never made it onto the truck. Which means it has been somewhere in the general vicinity since Friday but Canada Post is just hoarding it. Perhaps they are trying to steal my teas :P

Maybe, it’s some subtle way of work to rule, protesting the upcoming postal changes_;)
