I was extremely excited to see my Secret Santa had pulled my information and shipped my gift on matching day. I was pretty detailed yet varied with my likes/dislikes, hobbies, favorite subs, favorite foods, etc on the SS info page. So I was curious to see what my Santa had up their sleeve.

I received my package yesterday and saw it was from Adagio Teas. Initially, I was happy to see that I got something related to tea as I'm addicted to it and can be a bit of a tea snob at times. But then, I was a little fearful that it might be something I might have already. This was because a handful of years ago, I won a design contest by Adagio and was awarded a large gift certificate as a reward, which I used to purchase almost every kind of tea they had in addition to many teaware products.

I tore into the package with excitement and curiosity. I was greeted by an order confirmation/gift message: "I'm hoping this will be useful to you in your drinking/browsing endeavors. Best of luck with your wedding! Tell your landlord he's no fun for me." (In the "Pets" section of the info page, I said that I don't own any pets, however, my fiancee and I really want a dog but can't own any pets since they aren't allowed in our apartment. We don't think our landlord is any fun either.) I then unraveled the bubble-wrap to see it was one of the few teaware products that I actually didn't have! It was the ingenuiTEA infuser! I also received a sampler of Blackberry Black Tea.

My Secret Santa came through and was spot on!

It has already been very useful to me in my tea drinking and reddit/social media browsing endeavors as I had a few glasses of Oolong this Sunday morning at 11am! The ingenuiTEA is great for Oolongs as it has enough room for the large tea leaves to unfurl properly. (I also had some of the Blackberry sampler yesterday evening. It was pretty good!).

Thank you Austin R!
