Wow I can't believe how amazing my Tea Exchange Gifts, yes gifts plural, are.

Sent all the way from Taiwan to the UK and they are amazingly thoughtful and exquisite.

As you can see from the pictures I received two wonderful hand brewed teas. In with the gifts was a lovely note, explaining how much effort Emily had gone too and the adventure she had meeting tea sellers and hearing their stories. I love this part from her note.

"Buying Tea here is a process of sitting with the seller, trying ALL THE TEA!, while being told the history of either the tea or the sellers life, then selecting what you want and trying to get out before the seller keeps you in there another hour"

Such a great story and I am really looking forward to tasting both of the teas. The first is Oriental Beauty and the second is Pouchong Tea.

Emily also included three gifts for my young son and they are almost too nice to hand over to him :)

I can't believe how Lucky I have been to have been matched with this gifter and to receive such perfect hand chosen presents.

Thanks Emily and I hope your match was just as generous and thoughtful
