As it would turn out this gift came from my own neck of the woods. Just thirty minutes away my Secret Santa went through a tough time picking out a gift for me. After a little digging to find out about who got me my gift I found a post that they made trying to figure out what to get me. See the thing is I love me some tea, but /u/Narkolepse loves them some coffee. And, the way I worded what my likes and dislikes made me seem like a proper Brit with my tea.

I'm so thankful that this much thought was put into my gift and I want it to be know that you went above and beyond to find these gifts for me!

First off I found a nice little collection of geek tea from ThinkGeek. Earl Grey, Spiced Chai, Sweet Jasmine Green, and Herbal Orange. I don't know where to start. The aroma of these stuffed into one box was AMAZING!

Next is a lovely Yerba Mate grown locally to me and my Santa! Lovely notes of Mate and peppermint rounded out by fruity tones this is fantastic. I asked for something local and sure enough I got it! I have to admit that my cabinet is lacking in the Yerba Mate department and I have been eyeballing this company in my local food co-op. In fact this flavor isn't offered there so I'm extremely happy with this.

Last but certainly not least is a tea I'm not familiar with at all. Huoshan Huangya brought back from China! I'm very intrigued by this tea in particular. As it was described in my note this tea is very special and I look forward to learning about it. My Santa got some notes and forgot to print them out, something I'm guilty of myself during this round of exchanges, and I will be in contact with him shortly to find out more about this mysterious tea.

This was a triumph! I'm making a note here, great job! (See what I did there) Thank you so much Narkolepse you really didn't have to go to the trouble that you did and I honestly can't thank you enough.
