Ever since I saw that "Your secret santa has shipped your gift!" message, I've been tracking it with the impatience of a four-year-old. I was so excited! And boy, did Santa deliver!

Since I couldn't wait until Christmas, I just opened it. In the package, there was a very sweet note from my Santa explaining their thought process (not pictured). Since they're from Rhode Island, I got some very cool local gifts: coffee syrup (which I have never had before, weirdly enough) and two packets of lemonade mix. I'm now wondering if I should make them for Christmas, or wait until summer. Tough choice!

My Santa also noted that I love tea, so I was overjoyed when I found a lovely little tea caddy with Jeju Island green tea in it. I'm sipping on a cup of it right now - it's got a slightly spinach-y note, it's perfect! The next bit of wrapping paper revealed a teacup, complete with tea strainer. How have I not had one of these until now?! It's amazing! Also the color is a very nice red and white, with a red lid on the top. Santa said it reminded them of the Japanese flag (I love and constantly miss Japan... especially Kyoto), and I couldn't agree more.

Thank you, /u/alowesio! I'm loving the gifts and can't wait to try the syrup and ice tea!
