*bibliogasm*
Talked shop (writing-shop) a lot with Lotm this morning. ^__^ That was fun.
Speaking of whom... I got a package from Our Lady of the Masque!
The first thing I noticed upon opening it was the bags (plural!) of loose leaf teas, and a very very yummy smell. Not only do I have new teas for the tasting, but all sorts of japanese cooking things and sweets! Bourbon ホウイトロリータ (WhiteRollita) in a package I am already amusing myself by trying to read; various Meiji chocolate and fruit candies; cut wakame (finally, wakame for my miso soup! *tears of joy*); furikake, which I saw and immediately thought "MUST USE".
The Tea
Looseleaf sample bags:
Coconut Pouchong
Sweetberry Tea
Organic Genmaicha
Green Bush Ginger Lime
White Licorice
Pu-Erh
Rose
Vanilla Almond
Kathmandu
In tea bags:
Twinings' Prince of Whales tea
Green Osmanthus (technically in a bag; it's a strange bag-like contraption and I'm very curious to test it)
Looseleaf:
Moroccan Mint
Cinnamon Orange (source of the smell upon opening the box, I discovered)
Genmai Matcha
...It will take me at least six months to make it through all of this. Not even kidding. If I drank tea only from the selection Lotm has provided me with, it would take that long at the very minimum to finish it all.
I feel so spoiled! X3
Last, but far from least: a signed copy. *bibliogasms*
I'm going to go start tea water and begin reading, now. ^____~ I did promise I would, after all.
Thankyouthankyouthankyou, Lotm!
