Coffee/Tea Exchange Mailed and Rec'd Thread -- COMPLETED

[can84]

I just sent the package out for this afternoon's pickup!

 

[Luv2Roam]

Just a bump!

 

[Luv2Roam]

I rec'd my other tea package today, and again very impressed by the sender's generosity!

From Christiann (can84):

First it is so funny, as I have been eyeing this package and passing it up:
The Disney Wonderland Tea sampler of a dozen different teas!
I bought the other Wonderland Tea tins for myself as I really like the metal tins. I just had not gotten around yet to buying this sampler.
And also a book -- Death by Darjeeling. Looks very cool -- a mystery book for tea lovers.
And another tea contraption. It's a Tea-Riffic cup for tea on the go.
I am just getting all sorts of wonderful tea gadgets I never heard of and look great!

THANKS SO MUCH!!

I love my other tea gadget, the ingenuiTEA I rec'd from KristineN. Others at work were all oooohhhh and aaahhhing over it too.

Never heard of the ingenuiTEA or the Tea-Riffic until you two. But both are great!

I hope to get my second (and final) box mailed tonight. It should be in tomorrow's mail.

And I wanted to mail a little extra something to KristineN and drop that in the mail at the same time.

Thanks again to both of you! My tea horizons have expanded!

And reminder that the mail by date is around the corner -- the 24th!

Oh good I was worried you had the tea sampler already, and the book looked really cute! Enjoy

Forgot to mention the recipe:
Lemon-Sour Cherry Coffee Cake

Sounds yummy!

And I mailed the packages tonight at the post office. Guessing they should reach their destinations Monday.

 

[Meriweather]

I eyed that tea today too. Should I???
It was nice to see you again, Barbara. Thanks for driving us around....we appreciate it

 

[Luv2Roam]

I like the teas in that series I have tried. They are not too strong or bitter.
The one tea is a peach flavor. I am not a peach person, but really like that tea.

GOOD to see you.

 

[Pooh67_68]

I know that most of you are exchanging tea, but are any of you as my family calls them tea granny's? I come from a long line of tea drinkers and more then 1 cup per day.

John and I like a good strong tea so I buy Twinings english breakfast and we just use 2 bags. Any other suggestions?

 

[Luv2Roam]

My parents were both tea tottlers. I was brought up on Constant Comment. And that is still my favorite tea.
I really just started drinking coffee just over 10 years ago. And that was just for the caffeine.
DH likes his coffee strong and black. He says I like a little coffee with my cream.
Tea is still my favorite by far. But I will drink coffee, but not black. Tea I can handle any temperature, with or without cream or sugar, sweetener, lemon, etc. Just about any way, depending on the tea.

 

[Luv2Roam]

Any news from anyone?
Tomorrow is the mail by date!

 

[Meriweather]

How many more are still waiting to be mailed, Barbara?

 

[Luv2Roam]

I show 5 more.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Thanks Barbra.

I hate (and I mean hate coffee) but can drink tea anyway you make it too, well except with honey I don't like honey. DH will drink coffee but not a lot of it, and he likes both his coffee/tea sweet and light.
I will only use milk no half and half or creamers, DH uses half and half.

 

[Luv2Roam]

I am one of the few who does not like Starbuck's coffee. Just as well as I don't like coffee enough to pay that much!
I do like (occasionally) their sugar free carmel latte.
DH has a Starbuck's EVERY morning. And making it at home is "just not the same".

Do you have a World Market? One thing I really like from there is a brand of sugar free chai teas they carry. (two flavors) Almost like a cross between a spice tea and hot chocolate.

 

[Meriweather]

Ohhh...I will need to look at a World Market for that. Cross between hot chocolate and spice tea sounds interesting.
I take my tea with sugar sub......and plain tea with a little milk.
I prefer spicy teas like cinnamon. I like black teas....and haven't found an herbal tea I like yet.
I may have to pick up some tea here, but I am not too found of fruit flavored ones or ones with floral flavorings in them, so still not sure.

 

[Luv2Roam]

TODAY IS MAIL BY DATE!!
And I hope to read of some rec'd postings today.
Please keep us all in the loop, y'awl.


Those World Market Chai teas I buy come in a cylinder cardboard canister and are against a back wall.
Seems like one is called Orca and the other Flamingo. I have no idea what they have to do with those two things. I just look for their spot on the shelf and the labels I recognize very well by now.
One is spiced and the other is vanilla. Both are yummy, and sometimes I combine them in one cup. Some days I spoil myself and drop a bit of chocolate in too.
As a side note I am drinking Hawaiian coffee this morning from Patsy.

 

[Meriweather]

I will definitely look for them. I have to go about 45 miles to one, but that is by the big mall and I have to go there to See's anyway and get Valentine gifts.

I am drinking Bigelow cinnamon tea this morning....here in my room ar OKW

Oh, we got to open DHS yesterday Too fun!!

 

[Pooh67_68]

No World Market here, I live in a small got to go miles and miles to shop area.


John doesn't like Starbucks, he doesn't like Dunkin Doughnuts coffee either.

If I use sugar its Splenda and I like that new Truvia. Never tried Chi Teas, but of the flavored teas that I have tried, I like peppermint and chamomile.

 

[Luv2Roam]

Anything for anyone to report today?
One package I mailed Priority and dropped off Monday night. I would have thought that reached it's destination.

Anyone have anything to report as mailed or received?

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Still waiting here. Mail ran, nothing for me.
