I got my tea today

So I got my tea today. I was outside playing with my son when the UPS truck showed up. He's 3 years old, and very smart. He said I was excited to get my tea. He even said that to the UPS driver: my daddy's excited to get his tea! He wanted me to open the box right there on the on the driveway, so I did. But I had us go inside to actually open the packs. So they're soft, envelope packs, and I apparently got 5 of them. I don't have them with me right now, so I can't say what they are. Anyway, I opened each one to smell them, and they all smelled the same, which I was not expecting. One cool thing was that the bags have this little blue plastic measuring spoon, with markings for 5 ml, or 10 ml, a teaspoon and tablespoon, I believe. But I'm not sure how useful in measuring tea this thing is, given the way tea doesn't have a uniform density, like sugar or water.

Maybe having them in the tins (like Adagio) does something...I don't know. My son picked out the Yunnan for me to drink first. A few of them were really dusty in the bags (it was dusty inside the bags :-P). I wonder when I get larger amounts from Adagio if it'll be the same. Hmmm...

I was thinking that Adigio could sell the first order of teas in tins, and then subsequent orders for a little bit less, and send them in the envelopes, so that way you get them on how cool it is to get the tins, and then make it cheaper to stay with them. And you keep the labels and types of teas consistent over time. And the wastage isn't such a problem, either. I have tins I don't know what to do with, and they're not recyclable. Same issue with the Twinings teas that are sold in stores in tins.
