Jillian drank Tropical Fruits Red Tea by Vykasa

I’m officially giving up on this tea. It tastes sort of like weak, heated fruit punch, but it still has a bit of that mouth-drying quality that I don’t care for. I might chuck this into the Travelling Teabox – maybe someone else down the line will like this better than I do!

I want to know more about the Traveling Teabox :-)

Rena, the Travelling Teabox is a box of tea that is sent from person to person. Each person then takes something out and puts something else in. I’m afraid sign ups are closed now, I took sign ups all through December, but it seems from your posts that you’ve been away a lot, so maybe you hadn’t seen. I’m definitely not counting on this being the only one ever, though, but I don’t know when a second one will get sent out. It depends on how long it takes for this one to make it through 29 people and four countries. :) But you should definitely have the chance to sign up, if you’re interested, another time. :)

Rena, here’s the thread http://steepster.com/discuss/102-travelling-teabox. Unfortunately the route has already been planned out, but maybe if you email Angrboda something can be worked out.

(Smacks self in head) Yes, I see it now. I should have checked in Discussions, but I usually look at new Tasting Notes first. Thanks for answering.

Bio

I’m a university student in her mid-twenties who’s currently working her way toward a Bachelor of Natural Resource Science degree. I love both science and science-fiction and I’m a history nut on top of that. Maybe I should just call myself a nerd and leave it there. ;)

I’ve been drinking tea since I was young but it’s only in the past couple years that I’ve become interested in the good-quality stuff.

I’m also a self-proclaimed Grammar-Nazi, and improper capitalization and spelling invariably makes me twitch (yes, I mean you!)
