Wow! Hand delivered to my work, a beautiful box full of tea! No-one at work could actually believe that someone I didn't know sent me this ... and I am genuinely surprised to get something that is really so absolutely awesome. I know Whittard's and their tea is excellent. In the box we find a selection of 9 teas - English Breakfast, Lapsang Souchong (my favourite), Ceylon, Assam, Earl Grey, Russian Caravan (I've always meant to try this), Spice Imperial (a black tea with cinnamon, cloves, vanilla etc.), Sencha and Jasmine ... and at 50g in each flavour we aren't just talking about samples. There are 20 tea bags in each flavour, so plenty of chance to really get to know the different teas and figure out how to get the best out of them. I am really looking forward to going through them all. I don't know whether my SS just got the idea of tea from my reddit comments, or whether he tracked me down and saw that I also have a profile on steepster.com, but he hit the nail on the head. I drink several cups of tea every day and am always up for trying new teas, different brands and so on.

Thanks very much xlance, you're a star! And please thank your friend who hand delivered it, and heroically even attempted a delivery on Christmas day, unfortunately it was my work address that I had used in my profile and so he made the journey for nothing. I'm very grateful that he was willing to try a second time!
