OMG OMG OMG!!!

Oh wow!!

I have just received the most beautiful and thoughtful parcel from 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 how bagfish 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.

I'm intrigued by this fudge. We have a Fudge Kitchen here which does very good fudge... I wonder if your stuff is better!

Viv, am so chuffed you like it all and also that the kitty-cat was prepared to be a tea prop for a little while (awwww!) I took a bit of a gamble on the green tea, but you said you were up for new tastes and that you like Mango so I thought why not!

The tea ball is a most excellent device. Easy to use and pretty easy to clean too. They don't last forever (I'm on my third in six years) as the rivet in the centre goes, but you should get two years of daily use out of it. I love mine and even take it on holiday with me so I can continue to have yummy tea :)

The nighttime tea is good and is very soothing to have after a meal too (the spearmint is good for the digestion). Hope it works!

It was a delight putting the package together.

Thanks again for all the lovelies Kate! :D I'm sure that was a good gamble, fruit-green-tea is often fine by me! And Kitty was unperturbed, he's actually moved around and wound up close to the tea. Hmmm. I think he wants to hijack it.

I have had a cup of the very delicious vanilla tea, with the very wonderful tea ball! I absolutely agree, easy to clean, easy to use, I love it already! :D So pleased to have discovered it! As for the vanilla tea... YUMMY!

I'm going to be reasonable and wait til tomorrow to sample the other teas. ;)

Your photo doesn't suck!! Seriously, you should see mine!

And that's a wonderful package :) (And your cat's too cute!).
