Teadonism

It was a bit of a rough weekend, what with Edgar the Ferret getting sick and needing surgery on Labor Day, so I can’t describe how exiting it was to get two tea packages yesterday!  One was from Stephane Erlers at Teamasters Blog, and the other from The Simple Leaf. 

 It really lifted my spirits to find two beautiful, painstakingly packaged boxes of tea!  I pawed through them immediately and found both of them to far outstrip my initial expectations.  Expect vendor and tea reviews on these in the near future–I plan on sitting down to some of these lovely blacks and oolongs (and a green!) later today.

Anyway, don’t wait for my reviews–if you’ve never dealt with either of these vendors/sources (somehow I don’t exactly consider Stephane a “vendor,” proper, but rather a “source,” if that makes sense…?) before, I’d tell you to go for it.  The service was knowlegeable and prompt, the shipping was fast, prices were good, packaging was careful, etc.–and the teas, while currently untasted, look to be of a very high, uniform quality. 

In other news, Edgar has returned from the animal hospital.  He had a hairball blocking off his little stomach.  The hairball had probably been building up since before I even owned him, the poor dear.  He’s feeling better now, I think, and is eating well, so I feel much better.  In closing, a few darling and completely off-topic slices of cuteness:
