4 oz of Laoshan Black for $19.50? That makes me want to whimper. (I want it….)

But I still have 1 oz left from the 2 I bought in the spring. #staysstrong

That’s a pretty awesome haul though!

I’ve been drinking Laoshan black non-stop at work and that’s what made me order from Verdant. I couldn’t resist the sale! I really need to slow down with it.

Congrats on the move. I loved Cal Poly and hope you have a great time too. I know the campus has changed greatly since I was there. Smaller dorms, higher fees. (I remember when we paid under $1000/quarter).

Aw thanks! I am living in a condo off campus:) I love the town! if you have any hole in the wall places I should go or try do tell:) thank you!

BUTIKI’S TAIWANESE WILD MOUNTAIN BLACK

I was very fortunate to win Contest#3 in the recent Birthday Sale on all Butiki teas last month. The prize – the first ounce of the new supply of TWMB. I was very excited and could not wait! It arrived this afternoon and I rushed to open the box. Even though I don’t do caffeine after 12 noon, I could not wait until tomorrow morning to taste this tea so I’ve just finished my first cup.

Frankly I was a little concerned that my expectations might be a bit too high because of all the positive chatter and rave reviews. But this tea is everything I had imagined and much more. Sweet and smooth, but also remarkably complex. This tea is magic!

I was so excited, I’ve already posted my initial tasting notes on this fabulous tea.

I received and I like the Iceland village (Lake of moss) sheng puerh tea which I originally got on ebay at http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yunnan-Iceland-Village-Puer-Tea-Old-Tree-Spring-Tea-P073-3-5oz-100g-2011-Raw-/170873575884?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item27c8dbd9cc. I purchased this 100 gr pressing to save for a few years as I finish off the previous one I bought.

My Yunnan Sourcing order! FINALLY! With LOTS of stamps covering the box!

http://oolongowl.com/2013/08/12/yunnan-sourcing-tea-order-puer-cakes-and-an-awesome-gaiwan/

2 pu’er cakes and a really really cool gaiwan. Omg I love the gaiwan!

I should also be getting the Here’s Hoping Teabox – it’s out for delivery, but my mailman likes doing priority packages really late, like 7pm late while I’m out.

Could you do a review of the Qiu Yun cake? I have the same one on its way from china too, how long did the slow shipping take? I’m 4 weeks into the painful wait.

checking.. Oh my, I ordered those cakes on July 18th, so about 4 weeks. I paid for 3 to 5 week shipping (over the 40 to 70 day shipping option from hell). You should get yours pretty soon!

sansnipple said

oh, ok, I got the cheapest shipping option, china post surface (40-70 days), it would have been like double the shipping cost for even the next one up for my order, though mine was larger than yours and they scale based on weight.

Ah I see. Yeah I just squeaked by the China small parcel option! Man, wish their shipping was better, but the tea is cheap so I guess it evens out.

I wonder if your box will have more stamps than mine? LOL (on that note, I’m tempted to count the stamps and cost to see how much shipping costed)
