GCTTB DAY 1
Whoot, it was definitely an exciting day to find a box of teas waiting for me at home when I returned from work! My roommate couldn’t believe her eyes, she thought I had bought like 20 lbs of tea for myself, lol. I had to explain the concept of her travelling tea box to her.
It was rather overwhelming trying to decide which tea to sample first, my breakfast ended up getting cold! I chose this one on a whim, was looking for something black but with twist. Brazilian fruit sounded pretty good. Unfortunately I’m not getting much from it. It might have been a bit older, because I didn’t get much in the way of dry leaf aroma either. The tea has minimal favour and body, and has a slight soapy aspect to it. Not the greatest start I suppose, but there is so much more to try!
Now I have to go buy small ziplock bags to add my own tea, I wonder where I can find some. I’m thinking a craft store like Michaels?

Hurray—it got there in record time! Do let us know where you find those tiny bags. And have fun with the teas.
Yeah I was really surprised! The tracking number indicated it might be arriving on the 12th, so it really was record time.
I was really surprised how quick it got to you, especially since places out west have had snow storms!
A lot of people buy these fancy scent proof bags for sending and storing tea which are kind of nice. A bit pricier than regular plastic zips, but they are great for tea!
Longest ebay link ever!
