Less than 5k for me, since I have yet to order from outside the US. Next time, surely.

About to go brew up some Oolong #8 to accompany some last minute school work.

Wow, all the excitement w/the Birthday TeaDay Bash, I forgot to mention that I had Silver Needles by Adagio first thing this morn. A real switch for me as I almost always start w/ Japanese Greens!

Didn't vote yet, have to check out adresses, just not sure how far.

Next :arrow: probably the very last of my Matcha.... yikes, better get moving and place an order :wink:

Have a FAB Happy Birthday TeaDay everyone!

Oops forgot I just placed an order for a travel set and yellow tea from Hankook :!:
Guess I can vote 8)

Ippodo hosen this morning. The last of it unfortunately. Amazing stuff though.

I've ordered from Japan (o-cha) and Malaysia (teacuppa). Even though my teacuppa order is still MIA :roll:

Mediocre sencha in my cup right now. Might do some more black tea before I head back to work.

I wonder if you will get yours soon. I ordered on the 2nd and got mine Monday. Am I remembering correctly that you ordered on the 11th? So maybe mid-February. Okay, not that soon then. :roll:

Happy Birthday, TeaDay.
Beautiful birthday card!!!

I am sitting here rather astounded by the poll results. 28 out of 40 or 70% of responders so far indicate they have ordered from a vendor 5000 miles or more distant, clearly international and most likely from countries such as China, Japan, Taiwan, India.

Just WOW ...
blah blah blah SENCHA blah blah blah!!!

Happy Birthday Teaday!

I've ordered from Japan so I get to join the 5000+ club too!

I started today with Chestnut tea and am now enjoying some YM. It seems to hit just the right after work.
