    Update::

    I just got some more Constant Comment at the store, and I found two more teas here at work which I forgot to include in the original 40. Also, I added teas which I don't have right now but which I do have from time to time. Like this, I can keep track of all the teas I've ever owned.

    5 new teas!:

    I just got my order from Adagio today. Instead of the four teas I ordered, I got five! In addition to the Earl Grey Bravo, Peppermint, Oolong Symphony 8 and White A Cappella, I got a sample of Pumpkin Spice free for the holidays! I've got some Earl Grey brewing up right now. In addition to the teas, I also received free (with $19 purchase) a book on tea and the various varieties. Score.

    New tea from Adagio:

    For having Adagio on my links page and for having a Google rank of 2, I got a free sample of a black tea today! It's Ceylon Sonata, a traditional tea from Sri Lanka. They also included three of their tall paper tea sachets to use!

    Three new!:

    Adagio had a 2-for-1 deal with their gourmet sachet teas, so I grabbed some English Breakfast and some Jasmine Pearls in their strange little pyramid silk bags. For my order and for the holidays, they also included a sample tin of Chestnut-flavored tea. That'll keep me toasty over the holidays. 🙂 The Adagio sachets will be going to work with me so I can easily enjoy Adagio goodness without bringing in an infuser ball or the IngenuiTea. Score!

    My first rooibos:

    I picked up a rooibos today at Kroger's. It's Kalahari Red Tea, a basic, non-flavored rooibos. I had a rooibos at Mogger's a while back and decided to grab one for the house. I'll have to give it a try later.

    New Celestial Seasonings:

    My officemate Heather gave me Gingerbread tea for my birthday since it's in season for Christmas. Haven't tried it yet, but it sounds very unique.

    Christmas tea gifts:

    I got a $25 gift certificate to Adagio for Xmas, so I spent it on samplers of tisanes and a few flavored teas. I got Cinnamon, Strawberry, and Ooooh Darjeeling as well as the herbals Raspberry Patch, Wild Strawberry, and Sour Apple. I also picked up a regular-sized tin of Rooibos since I'm acquiring quite a taste for the red tisane. Thanks, Jill, for the awesome gift of caffeine and flavor!

    Rooibos-fest:

    Lushbaugh gave me an Adagio Rooibos sampler which includes: Organic Rooibos, Rooibos Earl Grey, Rooibos Tropics, Rooibos Vanilla, Rooibos Berry, and Rooibos Mango. A bit fruity for my tastes, but who can turn down free tea? 🙂

    Blooming tea:

    I got my first blooming teas from Adagio today: Red Bloom and Jasmine Bloom. Along with them, I also got a beautiful, airy tea glass with saucer from Germany which Adagio sells. I've added a section for blooming teas because they're not in sachets nor are they really loose leaf either. Maybe I'll find new varieties later.

    Celestial Seasonings addition:

    I picked up a tisane by Celestial Seasonings because I've been needing more soothing, caffeine-free teas for late evenings to prevent staying up all night. The main ingredients of Tension Tamer are eleuthero, peppermint, cinnamon, ginger, chamomile, lemon grass, licorice, catnip, tilia flowers, and lemon flavor. I wonder if the presence of catnip will make Kitty want some…
