This was my first international exchange and I'm so happy I picked that option! My santa teased me with some messages and a picture of what I thought was a cup. I never expected the amount and varieties of teas, coffee and extras I received, plus a wonderful note detailing everything in the package. My santa helped keep me posted on my package's journey, since everything was in Japanese, which gave away where my treats were coming from.

I mentioned loving strong flavors, especially spicy teas, so my santa sent me 2 bags of her favorite cinnamon black tea. I also got a bag of green tea, some Shizuoka Prefecture made oolong, a bag of coffee, a travel mug with a removable infuser (an item i really wanted .), the cutest little container of lemon blossom honey and some konpeito (little sugar candies) to put in my tea.

I've always wanted to visit Japan, and am very excited to try everything. Thank you santa!!
