This particular swap has to be the BEST one I have recieved yet just because the tea's were so aromatic and OMG they taste like cinnamon and apple and mint!!! A BIG Thanks to Leslie (Ctrekoza) in Turkey for sending me the first of 4 to be received for this swap. She warned me on a note in the envelope that the one "Hot Cinnamon Spice" is very hot and caught her off gaurd when she first drank it. Thanks for the head's up but unfortunatley I choked too when I sipped it. IT's REALLY spicy!! Like 100 melted cinnamon heart candies or something. It took me awhile to drink it actually and it was kind of gross at the end when it got cold. Not quite a fan of that one but thanks for letting me have a try! It smelled great as did the whole envelope, the whole mailbox radiated cinnamon!! The postman either likes to deliver my mail or thinks I'm strange. Happy to see another Dr. Otker tea again. The only one I have in my collection came from Brazil last Christmas. I am lovng the loose tea bags more and more too. Once I have depleated my current stash of tea, I will go and get a better round of loose teas. I know a little coffee shop close by my house that sells Two leafs and bud teas. They are a bit pricey but maybe I'll try one out for starters. We'll see!! Can't wait for the rest to arrive.
April 28, 2011 - Oops! Have been far too busy and had to take a break from this for ahwile. I have received some teas and other items from swaps but now I have gotten them all mixed up and I cant remember what goes where. :( I know I have received Xiru's tea for this swap because it took the longest to get to me. I forgot to take picture of all the others that I got. I am so totall not organized anymore. I also received from Manme in Finland too. Thanks guys for all the great teas. I have to make a huge confession, I have not had more than one glass of tea this whole month. I am horrible but have been so busy. I know, not a good enough excuse. I have about 50+ tea bags that I have to scan and upload to my Flickr account. That is going to take most of the day to do. Unfortunatley, my days off from work were guided somewhere else. Maybe next Monday because I have 2 more days off then. Let's see if I can do it. The good news is that I finally got some new teas, not the same Stash teas that i alays get, some new one's from Mighty Leaf and Tazo as well as a Maple flavored tea made here in Canada. Yippie!! I will have to go and sign up for some new swap too to get back into the mix. Thanks everyone for being so paitent, if anyone actually read
