I just got two packages from different people labeled as Santa gifts.

LOL! Yes, if it says "Stacey Santa" it's the chai tasting. Never fear!

So my SS has a level of sophistication I didn't account for. My package arrived from Kevin in Japan, and most labeling is in Japanese only. Since I can't read Japanese, I inferred the tea inside to be O-Cha Miyabi by the gaijin scribblings on the customs form. My first guess for this secret admirer was Chip, but it turns out he is not in the running. Green twins, I'm looking at you...

I didn't bring it with me to the parents over xmas - I plan on picking up an obi ami teapot from Den's at a local shop here so I can properly enjoy it. Ed can't wait to see me eat my words about the fukamushi, but I can only say that he fell for asamushi first! *FFGS*
