This redditor was nestled all snug in her bed, While visions of sugar-plums danced on tv. And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap.

When out on the doorstep there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. Away to the entryway I flew like a flash, Tore open the deadbolt and threw open the door.

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer.

It was really a cardboard box with my name written on it, not eight reindeer. But this box was just as exciting, if not more, then some silly little reindeer would be. I told my secret santa that I was an avid tea drinker, it was mentioned briefly in my short little intro but oh man. Santa is a fellow tea drinker and boy did they deliver.

The box had teavana on the side so I instantly knew this was going to be good. At first I was really confused because my roommate was waiting for a package but this had my name on it!!! I immediately ran to the kitchen to get scissors and started opening 'er up. And things just got better and better. I was like a kid in a candy shop, except my candy is tea and the shop was in a box.

The first thing to come out of the box was the tumbler, which I am absolutely in love with!! I've seen these before at tea stores and I've always kind of wanted one but could never find a design I liked. THESE SNOWFLAKES ARE BEAUTIFUL. And I love how it has the infuser inside and a hidden little compartment to keep extra loose leaf tea! This will now be accompanying me everywhere I go, especially on film sets where it will keep me nice and warm!

The second thing to come out of the box was the tea. There was a little sample bag of Maharaja Chai Oolong/Samurai Chai Mate blend with Rock Sugar and I can't wait to try it. This is going in my tumbler....right after I try the other ones. I think it needs to be mentioned that I love everything about this time of year, I love the smell of holiday things and I love the taste, sweet, spicy, and delicious. So the holiday tea collection really hit the spot. The teas inside were CocoCaramel Sea Salt which has red bell pepper listed in the ingredients so I'm really interested in seeing how it tastes. The second is White Chocolate Peppermint, pretty straight forward but will probably taste amazing. The third is Spiced Apple Cider. Drool. Cannot wait to drink this with my spiced apple whiskey. The peppermint and the apple teas are both Rooibos which is my all time favourite type of tea. And last but not least is Pumpkin Spice Brulee, how is that even a thing? I have a few pumpkin teas already but Brulee? What is this madness!

The thing I'm most surprised about is that with the ridiculous amount of loose leaf teas I already own none of these are the same! All new flavours to try in my wonderful new tumbler!

Dear Santa, you really nailed it. This is the perfect gift and I'm so excited to start drinking tea. The CocoCaramel Sea Salt is currently steeping away and drinking will commence shortly. Thank you, you're the best!

I think my pictures are out of order....I'm too excited about this tea. Will fix later.
