Fay, hehe, I know I shouldn’t peek but I’m very particular about making sure all the teas I have in my possession are in my cupboard here on steepster. That way even as I use up the small samples I can remove them-therefore “decreasing” my collection :). To be fair, I don’t remember what teas are for what days- I just quickly added each sample to my cupboard. So It’ll still be a surprise :).
