Received easygoing's!

If it is an issue, I would totally understand... thank you for the attempt.
cheers

I received a text from USPS today with an "out for delivery" alert, which means I am getting someone's tea today. The suspense is killing me!

Edited to add: Lol! Speak of the devil! Mail arrived nearly an hour early today!

My surprise was from firesignfemme! Thank you FSF!

I received quite a few already, but haven't sampled yet. Tonight I am bagging loose tea and rock sugar which helps enhance the complex flavors of tea. When you receive the rock sugar break it out of the teabag and use a few in your tea as desired for sweetness. I should have these mailed either tomorrow or Saturday morning. Thanks so much for the teas received already. I will post as I try them out. I am excited to see how they all are and find new favorites!

It could be that even though it weighed out fine it was too thick maybe? In any case if anyone gets sticker shock at the post office and needs more time to mail out or due to cost is unable to mail out no problem on my end - stuff happens. I think the charge to mail out sort of took everyone by surprise on this one. I would appreciate a PM though if anyone, for any reason, is unable to mail out. I don't need to know the specifics, any reason to justify, a simple, confidential PM with "hall pass"in the subject field would be nice though, so I don't keep checking the mail for something that's never going to arrive. Thanks

Nope, not an issue at all. Just wanted to give a heads up that it's coming late.

Jesse · 03-31-2017, 02:12 PM

Yum! Got yours today, CCB! Thank you

I've got the cards, sitting on a bookshelf nearby, and I have to say that it is kind of nice to look over and see some greeting cards and know it's not Christmas! lol

Gemme · 03-31-2017, 05:35 PM

I got TF's and CCB's cards and teas. Such colorful packages! Thank you both.

Liam · 03-31-2017, 06:07 PM

TF and CCB's tea arrived today. Yay!!

The manager of my building delivers my mail, and is quite intrigued, with our tea exchange, and is somewhat disappointed that this has nothing to do with facebook. lol

I surprisingly found out yesterday at my local friendly post office that it would require over $100 to send 12 cards with a tea bag inside to you lovely American tea enthusiasts. It seems a bit extreme to me, but the good news is a friend is visiting from the states and she will take your cards back with her to mail them from within... I am truly sorry for the delay but you should have your card and tea in just a little over a few weeks.

Jesse thank you so much for your tea choice, just arrived .. i have never met a tea that wanted to be a latte... looking forward to trying it... thank you again.

Actually there are many teas that one can make a latte with. For example a London Fog Latte is made using an Earl Grey tea. Chai's also perform well as a latte.
I hope you enjoy it.
