OMG OMG OMG!!!
Oh wow!!
I have just received the most beautiful and thoughtful parcel from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bagfish. It's stunning! It's amazing! I'm still overwhelmed by her generosity! :D
So I wanted to take a nice photo and found out that I completely suck at doing elegant displays. Somehow it always looks messy. So I thought that a kitty might help. He was sleeping deeply, so I used him to help prop up the teas:
(click for a bigger pic!)
The wonderfulness includes:
- vanilla black tea which smells amazingly good
- blackcurrant flavoured black tea which smells awesome!
(I am so conflicted... which to try first, the vanilla or the blackcurrant??!)
- passionfruit and orange (herbal?) tea which smells zesty! I bet it's great as a wake-up tea!
- night-time herbal tea, to unwind before bed. It has spearmint in it and I never realised that spearmint smelled so gorgeous! I'm very very curious!
- mango green tea which I'm sure will reconcile me to green teas. It smells gorgeous!
- a sampling of various teabags from her collection, all of which sound lovely!
- a bag of chocolate fudge. I don't know howbagfish guessed, but I was having the most terrible fudge cravings the last few days. I can guarantee these won't last long!
- a tea-infusor-thingy - FANTASTIC! I have been fighting with my tea egg for years and don't do loose-leaf tea as much as I'd like because it's such a bore. This will change everything, thank you! :D
I'm ecstatic, and incredibly impatient to be able to sample everything! It looks and smells stunning! Thanks again,bagfish, for a wonderful package! :D
Disclaimer: No kitties were hurt during the photoshoot. Scott stirred once, vaguely glanced at the packs on his belly, and promptly flopped down again and started snoring.
