a few posts ago, i wrote about tea: how much i love it, what kinds i drink when, and how my cabinet is overflowing with tins and boxes of it. thanks to the magical powers of the internet, a representative from pg tips tea contacted me and thanked me for mentioning their brand in my post, and would i like to try some of their new green tea? SURE i would! free stuff to try, all from blogging? i could get used to this.
needless to say it was only a few days until a fedex package arrived at my office with my name on it, complete with the tea as promised and a nice note from the woman who contacted me. so fun! and the tea *is* very good - a nice, clean green tea that comes in pg tips signature triangle tea bag that i understand helps the tea breathe better while it's brewing. makes sense.
i certainly don't plan on name-dropping brands or products in the future just to try to weasel my way into more packages at my door, but it was an interesting lesson in how my seemingly inconsequential posts reach all sorts of people and places. to blogging!
