I got an email from Iwan Ries last week. It seems that sometime in the past, for all I know years past, I had listed Penzance as a blend for which I would like to get a notification when in stock. Iwan Ries was contacting me to let me know that they were holding a bag for me and that I would have 4 days to purchase it, after which it would go to someone else on their list.
The email instructed me to log into Iwan Ries through their email offer, to purchase the bag on reserve. If I logged in otherwise, Penzance would appear as not in stock. So I clicked on the link, logged in, and lo and behold there was a bag avail for purchase. I bought the bag (I'm not a fan, but it's good for gifting, trading, or eventually gouging) and decided to look around to see what else might be available. The only other available blend, which years ago I had also asked for notification should it come in, was Stonehaven at a 2 bag limit. I ordered the two bags, which replaces what I had gifted away in the past year.
A few days later the bags were delivered:
So much for chasing unicorns.
Thank you Iwan Ries & Co!
