Chocolate Bar RR #26

Yes!!! Chocolate again! This RR was specifically for Milk Chocolate bars and my 2 partners were Josey from the US and Ezhyki from Belarus. I received Josey's nummy Hershey bars last week but I was way too busy from worl that I didn't get the time to post here on the site. Truth be told, I ate half the fist Hershey bar on my lunch break the day it arrived :) I couldn't resist and even though I have tried and tried not to eat as much chocolate, it's becoming encreasingly difficult to do. I haven't received from Belarus yet but it has been sent. I have another swap that I have to send out for another postcrossing group but I am having some financial squeeze problems at the moment so I have to send my swaps out late this time. Gosh I wish I had a money tree sometime. Without it you can't enjoy hobbies or things you like to do. Gotta hit the gym again oon, get back on a proper schedule and start enjoying my time rather than stressing. Getting back on toipic here, will post when my second bar arrives :) April 5th, 2011 - Got my second bars of chocolate today from Ezykhi (sp?) Love the cute little faces and people they put on thier chocolate bar wrappers. All three chocolates sent tasted different but all were good and I ate them in about 5 minutes! I'm aweful!!! Ready for round 3 of this swaps.

RR #170 - Surprise Beverage other than tea

Woot! Realky like this RR. I got my three "non tea" items from Patricia in Poland. We were supposed to send our partners 3 individual sized beverage items other than tea. I have already tried the hot chocolate that she sent and it was really good, can't complain I drank it and loved it. There wa also a cheese soup and a 3 in 1 coffee which I am assuming is like cream and sugar included? I haven't tried the later 2 yet but will perhaps have myself a cuppa tommorrow before I go to work. Thank you, this was a good swap!!

Swap-bot Tea bag swap #3

Received from my partner Cindi on Wyomming, USA. These are good one's, 10 teas. Most of them are herbals and some are like traditional medicainal teas. The envelop got a little damp and one of the tea bgas had gotten wet but there was no major damage and I think the bag can still be used. I love getting different teas like these. Cindi received a 5 and a heart for her package and I am happy to receive it. Wants to try the Ahmad tea because I got the apple tea before and it was really good. As well, the Lipton Strawberry too. Thank you Cindi, you're choices were 100% awesome! I wish they hadn't changed the Tazo packaging here in Canada. They don't come in the foil packages anymore, they come in mesh bags in loose form. I do still lke thier tea but it's harder to send in a envelope because it's bulky. Boo to Tazo tea for that one :(

RR# 157 - Surprise Tea RR

This one just came yesterday from Lissel in Germany. I honestly don't remember who I sent to for this swap. Yay, more Teekanne Tee and the London Tea company looks interesting, I haven't seen this type before. I haven't tried Rooibos tea yet or white tea for that matter. I honestly have quite a lot of tea to go through nd I don't think I am drinking enough to keep up with what I am recieving. The ratio is not right. I also have to go and have a look through it all and get it into some order because at the moment the packets are all shoved into tea boxes and in no order of name. I have work to do but next weekend. I am gearing up for another 6 days at 10 hours. Meh!

RR# 165 - 5 Tea Bags

Recieved these two on the same day and got myself confused as to what RR was what. That's what all this working long hours does to your brain. I can't concentrate on my tea anymore! Anywhooo, Kenji from Japan sent a wonderful variety but I have no idea what kind of tea's they are because the packages are of course written in Japanese. No problem, that makes it all the fun when I'm trying them! Hoping all is well Kenji and that you and your family is safe from that earthquake. And secondly got a nice lttle envelope with goodies from Leslie in Turkey. She had added some extra's for me because I helped another memeber with a swap that thier partner did not send them. We call this "angels" in swapping lingo. Thank you Leslie! :) Wanna get my hands on that "Hot Love" tea cuz it sounds like somthing with cinnamon :) Received my third package for this swap from Marcowa in Poland. There are some great looking teas in there and I especially want to try the Russian Cherry tea. I have not got any of these teas in my collection and maybe since I started swapping 2 have come the same. So, I am going to boil some water right now and try the Hot Love because i am in the mood for something cinnamony. Funny now that I open the package, it smells more like fruit and apples. No cinnamon? So I am looking at the tea package and in Spanish it says there is no cinnamon. I am intruiged now...let's see...raspberry is the first thing I taste for sure and it's actually quite good. It tastes very similar to the London Fruit and Herb company Raspberry Rendevouz. It gives off a nice after taste of berries. Wouldn't mind getting this one a s a double again.

Around the World Tea RR #156

Duh! I totally forgot to post this one! This RR was the BEST so far because I wanted to choose EVERYTHING! It was so hard not to take all the tea's. There were so many that I didn't have in my collection and wanted to try. Sadly, I cannot take all of the them so I had to leave some troops for the next person. This RR went to Lady_Kikic on Satarday, March 11. Tried the Rhapsody tea which was  blend of cinnamon and orange flavor and it was very tasty *likes* :)

Around the World Tea RR #146

This RR came on Monday but I was too tired to even look at it that day. Thank you Mylona from the Netherlands for sending this and for the GREAT extra empty teabag packets for my collection. That was awesome and when I get some time I will up load them into my Picassa site. So this RR had some loose teas and packet teas so there wasa nice variety to chose form. I think I am becoming more Pickwick tea fan as I do like it. I am excited to try the T Kick black tea with guarana, maybe before work so that I can have some energy??? Also, there a Marshmellow tea in my picks too that I'm gonna try right now. Tasting....tastes a bit different than I thought but it is sweet and not in need of too much sugar (I like sweet tea so two sugars for me please!) It's good, I like it. Good job Mylona!!! :) Sending next to Andre (Rhamdan) in Belguim on Saturday.
