I love the idea of the grab bag but I hate hate hate bacon (and licorice). What I want to know is what are my chances of getting bacon tea?

Should be zero chance of getting a bacon tea. I didn’t make up the grab bags myself but I asked my helpers to pick three full pouches, one iced tea and one of our perfect cup teaspoons. I specifically asked them NOT to put any of the bacon teas or the Kittea or Doggy teas in the grab bags. Apart from that, I don’t know anything about what is in the bags apart from that.

I didn’t know that people that hate hate hate bacon even existed. You would be an excellent person to share brunch with. Unlike my husband who eats all the bacon while I’m finishing cooking my eggs.

That’s so funny, you know how on some sites you have canned questions you have to pick the answers to, and one of them my husband read to me this morning. It was something like, “What is your favorite food: hot dogs, bacon, fruit, chili, etc.” He said who would put anything other than bacon?

^ People who don’t eat pork?

Haha, I know I’m crazy. I’ve always hated it, even when I was a kid. I used to be woken up gagging by the smell when my parents would make it, thick and suffocating, and would have to go sit outside because I couldn’t escape the stench. And I eat pepperoni and sausage but bacon is nasty. And I’m not a fan of other pork either, I just can’t stand the taste. It’s weird because even my mom that’s allergic to meat says the thing she misses most is bacon. I’m the only one in the family who doesn’t love it. Probably the only one in the world! Haha

I’ve heard (many times) that the top reason people give up on vegetarianism is bacon. I believe it! Sorry you’re so strongly averse though, that sounds awful.

Mandy, I was like that with the smell of lamb! Not necessarily gagging but it was certainly a scent I didn’t appreciate!

I really don’t like the smell of pork pot roast. Bacon is okay though, I just won’t eat it.

Does it mean we could get some of the archived blends? Or will it be any one of the ones that are available now?

It could be either. I updated the inventory yesterday AFTER we finished making up the grab bags and I had several teas that we were supposedly sold out of that I had to adjust to put back into inventory, and some of those could be in there. Also other teas we finished out when we did the grab bags that may not be ones that are “Available Now”. So, it’s really a mystery, but it’s $30 worth of tea for $15.

That’s what tipped me over to decide to buy a couple of bags…I’m really hoping there are some cool blends. :D

If anyone is interested… I wouldn’t mind if someone bought two mystery grabs ($30) then I send them $15 paypal and we split the six teas in half just as long as that person has a scale and good pouches to put the tea in. With the iced, the two could be split in half or if that person doesn’t like one of them, I could have one and the other person the other. I just want to try more teas but don’t want to commit to a full pouch: less money, more variety. Or three people could split 3 grabbies (9 teas, 3 iced) at $15 each…. or something we could work out! I MIGHT go 3 grabbies split in half for $22 if I could have half of the original pouches or something. Let me know! thanks

I would do that. My biggest concern is getting teas I don’t like at all (like greens). I have some 4 mil bags but they are clear. I don’t mind keeping the clear ones and sending the 52 ones to you.

Mandy said

If getting 3 bags and doing some kind of 3-way split will work, I’d love to be in too. Bonus: I love greens! So if theres green, I wouldn’t mind taking your share of the greens, and giving you my share of non-greens.

Hmm I sent a pm about this to you both a few hours ago, but I don’t see it in my box. Did it go through?

Mandy said

I don’t see one. Just the one I sent you for the pass the stash TTB

Weird, now both are in my outbox.

Sorry, just got on the computer for the first time after posting that. I’d be up for the three mystery bags split three ways with Marzipan and Mandy at $15 each ($45/3) plus whatever shipping is to me. I’ll send you both messages now! thanks!

GRAB BAG REPORT! :D

I figured some of us might like to know what everyone got in their bags…so mine arrived and I figured I might as well share. :)

Bag 1: Coconut Peppermint Patty, Fruit Hoops, Witches Brew Chai and Watermelon Iced Tea

Bag 2: Grapefruit Brown Sugar Shou Mei, Rootbeer Float, Cran-Grape Shou Mei and Watermelon Mint Iced Tea

So spill the beans…what’d everyone else get in theirs?

Supposed to come today but didn’t. Hopefully tomorrow.

Fruit Hoops! I’m surprised there were two white teas in one mystery bag. And I was also wondering how they would figure out if people get doubles if they already do up the bags if you bought two.

Also, weren’t all those in stock at the time of the sale? I thought they said there would be some that weren’t in stock.. hmm.

Pyroxy, if you have no interest in the Fruit Hoops, I wouldn’t mind buying/swapping some/all of it. Or that goes to anyone in the US who doesn’t want their Fruit Hoops. (But please don’t go through my cupboard, I will send you a swap list by message!)

Hi Frank,
It turns out I’m missing one coconut cream pie honeybush and one green iced tea apple cider from my two recent orders. I’ve tried contacting you on e-mail but haven’t heard anything, so I’m hoping to reach you here :)
I’ll check my e-mail if you’d rather reply there.
- Kristin

Got your emails. Sorry I didn’t respond yet. We’ve just been a little busy getting ready to move. I will correct your order deficiency when we ship packagaes again, probably Thursday or Friday this week. I apologize for the mix up and the delay.
