Mine either. Lauren, it was in the long “Free” thread, a page or two back from the end of it, I think.

Hmm. My samples haven’t arrived yet and I’m told they were mailed week before last. I should probably give up on them…
Haha, technically couldn’t we all just purchase all the teas (the smallest or second smallest size) from a company and split little samplers among ourselves? Take The Simple Leaf. It’s like $85 to get all their tea 1oz samplers. If we do a .1oz per serving… that’s like $8.50 per person to try all their teas. o.O Something like that. It’d still be easier if companies did this for us. Petition!!! Tea Party Strike!!!
Sometimes the mail has hiccups especially when it comes to international stuff. I received a package from china once two-three months after I placed the order.

Hahaha Angrboda I just saw your profile :) Um, I’m not which incident you’re talking about, but might I suggest you report it to Jason? I’m kinda on a crusade here…I’ve seen three people get"lectured at" in the last week or two, so I’m trying to sort of mobilize out efforts, if you will, and keep Steepster a fun place to be.

I’ve realized my powers of creativity and brilliance transcend the novel and I’v actually begun collaborating with Tim Burton – I think my vision would be best realized in a 3D film with animated, personified tea tins and who better to bring Thomas, Marco Polo, Florence etc to life?! I am also going to get famous actors to do the voices of the teas! I’m sure they all will do it when I pay them the funds from my kickstarter account! Right now I am trying to cast Thomas – do you think the man who plays Spartacus on that cable TV show will be good?

I don’t think I’ve ever finished a cup of plain matcha. Haha, milk always finds its way into the cup. Nope, never had plain chai either =P
I would how a yixing cup with chai, sugar and milk would work ;)
How would I clean it? I don’t think water gets the sugar out =/
Guess I’m out of luck =(

You ordered both!?!? Haha, would definitely be interesting, but uhhhh, that’s a lot of pu-erh to drink in a day ;)
Yeah, well, I’d have to start early and maybe only go through 4 or so steeps each. I don’t know what your experience has been with the Samovar pu erhs but I expected more steeps without significant flavor changes. I’ve read about pu erhs going for 20 or more steeps without a change in flavor. I only get about 5 out of each one and the fifth is already starting to get weak.

Add Harney’s Golden Tip Assam to the list. It’s good, but just not my cup of tea. I’m sure those who enjoyed this would love it.

Wow, I had to go look at the ingredients list in this one as I’ve never gotten a rooibos taste, nor was I looking for a rooibos taste, as I thought it was just green tea. Then again, I’ve never had green rooibos, just the red super noticeable kind.
