Hooray! :) My Verdant Order came in!

8oz of Laoshan Black (don’t judge me…)
1oz Laoshan Village Chai (first time trying)
Sample size Anxi Fo Shou

Once again the free sample was Flowering Green Jasmine. I have two of those now. xD; Better find some big jar or something to brew it in and try it out :)

Also, it wasn’t tea, but I wanted to cheer about it anyway: Yesterday my new laptop came! Hooray! :D

And a free sample of assam.

And just needed to point out awesome cutomer service. I had to pay brokerage fees in order to UPS to deliver the package and Laurent is totally refunding me the cost!

Kittenna said

Brokerage fees?! For tea?? That doesn’t sound right :(

Sil select said

Kittenna – happens all them time with ups and FedEx.

darky said

what are brokerage free’s exactly? and from what nina store did you order? the european one or the branch from miami where laurent send samples from? i’m currently sampling my samples and thinking off placing an order to!

Lala said

I ordered from Laurent in Miami. I just told him what I wanted, he told me the cost and I paypaled him the money.

Brokerage fees are fees that a delivery company charges in addition to deliver the item. For example, I paid delivery for my tea. But in order for ups to deliver it across the border, they said they needed more money.

Laurent is refunding me those charges. He said he has also fixed this problem with ups and should no longer be a problem.

T Salon’s Green Coconut tea. One of only three companies I actually purchased tea from at the Coffee & Tea Festival. They had run out of the Green Coconut, but the sample was so tasty that I ordered it anyway. Thankfully, they didn’t charge me shipping! Was expecting a larger jar, but it is what it is.

MY Teavivre order came in!!!!!!!
100g Gunpowder Green Tea (Zhu Cha)
100g Bailin Gongfu Black Tea
100g Golden Monkey Black Tea
100g Taiwan Jin Xuan Milk Oolong Tea (Flavored)
100g Organic White Peony (Bai MuDan) Tea

I only tried the Bailin Gongfu so far and it is really really good! I cant say enough about the customer service from teavivre. I read on here how good it was but thought to myself “how good can customer service REALLY be”. In this case amazing, Order was boxed up really well. All the tea was double wrapped and then again in bubble wrap.
Since this was my first ever tea order I had no idea how much tea this was…..HOLY its a lot of tea.
I am getting tea drunk tonight!!! :D

Sil select said

oh wow… 100g each. that’s a lot! :) sounds like you’re enjoying it so far though. Teavivre is really great!

Yeah, 100g is a lot…but if its all good I will be super happy and not need to buy any for a while. Cant wait to try them all

Rie said

Great teas! Teavivre really is exceptional.
The 100g will go surprisingly quickly, especially with the black teas. You might drown in the multiple steeping power of that Bai Mu Dan though. :D

Woot, my Gaiwan and Cha Hai arrived! They also included a silver needle sample (not pictured)

Sooo much packing tape!!! It was bubble wrapped and taped like one of those mean xmas gifts. Box – super tape. Everything inside box wrapped with a huge piece of bubble wrapped coated entirely with packing tape. After that – each item was individually wrapped in bubble wrap + packing tape. Then each box was super packing taped shut. Inside each box was the teaware, wrapped in bubble wrap + more tape. WOW.

Though boooo.. still no Bluebird Tea Co order. Must be sitting in customs or something /cry

Tealizzy said

That gaiwan is so cute! Though that does seem like a lot of packaging.

I was considering ordering that gaiwan off ebay. I love the colors. It’s so pretty.
