Liam 03-27-2017 08:29 PM

My first tea bag arrived today! Thank you, Jesse, I'm excited to try this! :)

Logicaly 03-28-2017 12:30 AM

Oh man, so jealous that I missed this exchange, but loving reading about everyone's experiences with the post office and looking forward to hearing how everyone enjoys their teas.

tantalizingfemme 03-28-2017 04:14 AM

I received FiresignFemme's and Jesse's yesterday! My tea coffers are filling up!

candy_coated_bitch 03-28-2017 12:02 PM

I just tried Jesse's tea and it was so yummy!!!

FireSignFemme 03-28-2017 12:35 PM

I haven't tried them yet but so far I have received tea bags from :) Jesse and Liam :)

Awesome, CCB! I am so glad to hear that. :)

I received easygoingfemme's tea moments ago. Lol! Love the card! I look forward to drinking the teas. Thank you. :)

Liam, I am drinking your tea as I type this, it is very enjoyable...love the aroma! Thank you :)

knight 03-28-2017 05:39 PM

Just returned from a bit of holiday, the tea will be in the post by Wednesday.
Have a lovely day/evening everyone.

Liam 03-28-2017 07:14 PM

I had Jesse's tea this afternoon, and it was deliciously delightful! :)

Thank you for the cute card and the tea, easygoing! :)

candy_coated_bitch 03-28-2017 07:21 PM

I got FSF's envelope in the mail today! Thank you, can't wait to try them.

Hi all,
I must apologize...I was recently diagnosed with cancer and in the rush of diagnostics and scheduling surgery, I have to admit I totally forgot. I do however intend to send out a couple of lovely teas...However I am not sure of the timeline. I want to...so please bear with me.
I have a good chance of getting rid of it with the surgery, so things look good. Sorry for the heavy vibes, but I wanted y'all to know

homoe 03-29-2017 04:19 AM

Thanks to the person who sent me tea even tho I'm not in the tea exchange! What a very thoughtful gesture!

Wh1ms1- I'm so sorry to hear this. If you're interested, we do have a thread here where we talk about such things. Please check in there if you want to share and talk more. There are a few of us, self included, who have walked through that fire and can offer support and understanding.

No need to apologize to anyone - not heavy vibes at all. Shit happens, and when it does we all need the encouragement, strength, support and understanding of others. Remember - you're not someone who has cancer, you're someone who is determined to beat cancer. Huge difference. Now get back out there in that ring and kick its ugly ass! :)

candy_coated_bitch 03-29-2017 10:38 AM

I tried Liam's tea this morning and I'm sorry to say it wasn't my jam. The color and aroma were lovely though. This is a safe sharing circle, right? Lol

FireSignFemme 03-29-2017 08:38 PM

Tea from easygoingfemme arrived today :)

candy_coated_bitch 03-29-2017 10:37 PM

I got tea from easygoing, tantalizing, and Gemme today. It was like a tea orgy!

tantalizingfemme 03-30-2017 04:44 AM

FireSignFemme's and Knight's were returned to me for being non machinable. I paid the extra for that so I am not sure what happened. Will go back to the post office today and resend.

Received easygoing's!

Gemme 03-30-2017 05:37 AM

I received easygoing's tea yesterday. Pretty!

If it is an issue, I would totally understand... thank you for the attempt.
cheers

Jesse 03-30-2017 10:47 AM

I received a text from USPS today with an "out for delivery" alert, which means I am getting someone's tea today. The suspense is killing me! :hamactor:

Edited to add: Lol! Speak of the devil! Mail arrived nearly an hour early today!

My surprise was from firesignfemme! Thank you FSF! :)

It could be that even though it weighed out fine it was too thick maybe? In any case if anyone gets sticker shock at the post office and needs more time to mail out or due to cost is unable to mail out no problem on my end - stuff happens. I think the charge to mail out sort of took everyone by surprise on this one. I would appreciate a PM though if anyone, for any reason, is unable to mail out. I don't need to know the specifics, any reason to justify, a simple, confidential PM with "hall pass"in the subject field would be nice though, so I don't keep checking the mail for something that's never going to arrive. Thanks

PaPa 03-30-2017 06:44 PM

I received quite a few already, but haven't sampled yet. Tonight I am bagging loose tea and rock sugar which helps enhance the complex flavors of tea. When you receive the rock sugar break it out of the teabag and use a few in your tea as desired for sweetness. I should have these mailed either tomorrow or Saturday morning. Thanks so much for the teas received already. I will post as I try them out. I am excited to see how they all are and find new favorites!

Nope, not an issue at all. Just wanted to give a heads up that it's coming late.

Jesse 03-31-2017 02:12 PM

Yum! Got yours today, CCB! Thank you :)

I've got the cards, sitting on a bookshelf nearby, and I have to say that it is kind of nice to look over and see some greeting cards and know it's not Christmas! lol

Gemme 03-31-2017 05:35 PM

I got TF's and CCB's cards and teas. Such colorful packages! Thank you both.

Liam 03-31-2017 06:07 PM

TF and CCB's tea arrived today. Yay!! :tea:

The manager of my building delivers my mail, and is quite intrigued, with our tea exchange, and is somewhat disappointed that this has nothing to do with facebook. lol

knight 04-01-2017 07:25 AM

I surprisingly found out yesterday at my local friendly post office that it would require over $100 to send 12 cards with a tea bag inside to you lovely American tea enthusiasts. It seems a bit extreme to me, but the good news is a friend is visiting from the states and she will take your cards back with her to mail them from within... I am truly sorry for the delay but you should have your card and tea in just a little over a few weeks.

Jesse thank you so much for your tea choice, just arrived .. i have never met a tea that wanted to be a latte... looking forward to trying it... thank you again.

Actually there are many teas that one can make a latte with. For example a London Fog Latte is made using an Earl Grey tea. Chai's also perform well as a latte.
I hope you enjoy it. :)

Jesse 04-01-2017 09:53 AM

tantalizingfemme, I received your tea today, thank you! Cute message. :) It looks as though we bought the same pack of notecards. :)

candy_coated_bitch 04-01-2017 10:33 AM

I'm so glad mine are starting to arrive!!! Eeeeee!!

Gemme 04-01-2017 05:25 PM

I'm starting to get a little concerned. Mine went out the beginning of the week so the East coasters at least should definitely have received them. Has anyone received their tea from me?

I have received tea, pretty cards, and even a good joke from Jesse, Tantalizing Femme, and FSF! Thank you! I'm going to start busting them open tomorrow...

I see! I see! I missed that but you seem to be the only one. Maybe the snow in other areas is holding things up. Thanks for letting me know.

Liam 04-01-2017 08:47 PM

FireSignFemme's tea arrived today, thank you! My cup runneth over with so many teas! :tea:

Also my proximity to you probably didn't hurt either.
