Wow congrats Caligatia!! I'm waiting for a big shipment of EXTRA green oolong any day now!!!

Till then, I'll dig out some ever popular Taiwan Wuyi, I still have a little hidden away.
It is pretty good, of course.

Feels like a holiday and I'm the only one working.

Ha! If you call this working.

:wink:

My co-worker and I gave their holiday tea a try this morning -
Sweet Orange Spice -

It's a nice light cinnamon. I was surprised, it was pretty good.
I actually just placed an order for that one. At least I know I will be getting my money's worth. So far, their herbals/rooibos are yummy for me. I especially like their ginger tea, it's refreshing for those mornings I feel a cold coming on.

I was given a sample of Republic of Tea's Be Well Red Teas (Get some zzz's). Trying it and I think it's a nice go to sleep tea with chamomile & valerian in it, I think. It's not the tea that is on the top of my list though, but worth a try.

I wanted to repurchase it, but I can't find it for sale on its own, did you?

That's the problem with that company. Aside from being way over priced.

Opened Sencha Karigane today. It is over a year since I had this one. Ancient Tea Tree Flowers a little while ago. Maybe some Mugicha to come.

Victoria - Nah, I didn't purchase it on it's own. I got it with the set. I wonder why they don't make it available separately. Well, I guess that's part of how they make their money :idea:

No problem at work. I use an infuser and mug and store my loose teas in a desk drawer. I enjoy my tea very much at work.

We're having our annual User's Conference so I was down at the Clearwater Beach Hilton all day yesterday. Still managed 3 cups of a nice green/flower tea. :D No idea who packaged it, but the teas are in the new pyramidical infuser bags.
