My fellow tea fancier went way above and beyond. I'd fight a bear to have my gifter again. For reals.

I received a neatly packaged envelope today from the Netherlands! I was super excited as my gifter mentioned that they would be putting something extra in to eat with the tea, and I like food just as much as the next being requiring nutrition.

BUT HOLY CRAP IT WAS STROOPWAFELS.

I'm not sure you know what a stroopwafel is. If you do, you understand. If you don't, it's thin pastry printed with a waffle pattern sandwiching a caramel-type filling. The point is, it's hard to find here and it's the most delicious thing since Phish Food. If you believe otherwise, you're wrong.

NOT ONLY THAT, but my gifter sent me four kinds of tea, including: - chocolate mint - strawberry cream - banana honey - vanilla cherry

I don't usually drink particularly fruity teas, but these ones smell like candy and I will absolutely be making an exception.

But wait, there's more!

My gifter also sat down and handmade two cup coasters and a coaster for the teapot. They are so adorable I might still be making silly faces.

Pictures attached of everything but the stroopwafels. They, um .. didn't last long enough for the camera. Sorry. :3
