I was very excited when I saw that my gift was being shipped by Cambodia post, as it's not only a country I've never visited, but it suggested that it was a gift direct from my giftee, rather than ordered from a local store. The excitement of a package making its way around the word really added something, although I must admit I secretly feared it would never make it.

This morning, it arrived. It's phenomenal that it could arrive so quickly when packages around Europe can take months.

Inside was a collection of teas (which I LOVE) and some Kampot peppercorns, all in beautiful little woven boxes. I'd actually never heard about Kampot pepper before, but given there have been wars fought over spices in the past, a little known variety of pepper is a really cool gift. I asked for something local and you certainly delivered! Thank you so much Santa, I cannot wait to try them!
