January Foodie Pen Pal : I’m In Love with Tea!
It’s no big secret I love tea. I have a drawer in the kitchen full of different kinds of tea. I have tea bags, loose leaf tea, and many different devices to steep the loose tea. I have a warmer in my office to keep my mug warm (which I often use for candles.) I was tickled to death when I opened this months foodie pen pal box. Sara blogs over at Not So Doughie and it just so happens she not only shares my love of tea, but she’s a fellow Michigan blogger! I just have to say that Sara went above and beyond her call of duty as a Foodie Pen Pal. I understand this was her first time and she wanted to make it special.
I thanked her face off let me tell you.
This tea pot she sent me is so adorable and I can see myself using it for a long time! I have a shamrock steeper that will fit perfectly across the top for a pot of loose tea. YUM!
She also sent a box of Twinings Lemon Ginger tea. I love Twinings tea but have never tried Lemon Ginger. It looks delish!
Sara sent the cutest little notecard, too. Love the pink and green. In my box there was also a small journal to put in my purse to “jot down blog-spirational ideas.”
There was also a Black Cherry Almond Cliff Bar which I wasted no time nomming on. I’ve never had the black cherry almond flavor and have to say, it was amazing. These things are pretty filling, so I will be saving the other half for another day. If you’ve never tried Cliff Bars, you should. All organic and they donate 1% back to the planet. Such a great company and I have been enjoying their treats for many years.
The last item in my box was a packaged of Forbidden Rice Ramen with Miso Soup. I’ve never seen or heard of this before and I do love me some good Miso Soup so I am really looking forward to trying this. The Ramen noodles are made from black, white and brown rice.
In October I had a some-what of a bad experience. I did not do one for November because of this. December there was not one. So, when January came around I knew I wanted to try at least one more time. I’m glad I did. I really happy to meet Sara and really appreciate everything she sent me.
I am beyond thrilled that she’s here in MI!
How was your experience? Did you get something amazing?

yay! I am so glad that you loved your package & that I was able to remind you that there are good foodie pen pals out there 🙂 I definitely think it makes more sense to pair bloggers together and non-bloggers together. I am happy to “meet” you and look forward to working together in the future!
Thank you again sooooooo much. It’s been a lot of fun linking up with you and sharing FB stuff 😉 especially about our great state ;0
Swaps/exchanges can be an iffy challenge. It all depends on your partner. I’ve had great crochet exchanges and some less than stellar ones. However, when you have a great partner it makes it so much fun that you really want to go back and try again.
I’m glad you had a wonderful exchange. Hope you it encourages you to reach out and try again.
I agree. Sara was great and she’s been fun to keep up with on the Internet with our blogs! I have another foodie pen pal, who was my first, that I still keep in contact with.
