Also whoever did the “Hello My Name Is:” labels, you are awesome :)

I think I sent those. I was looking for long blank labels and couldn’t find any, so I improvised. :)

They were really cute hahah

You got this box the day you mailed the sheng and shou box! Your head must be spinning from all the tea.

so many boxes. much tea. very steeped. xP

And this is twice as big as the pu box!
@htwt such ttb. wow.

Just wait until I add to it :)

:)

I really wish I could have tried the Sheng n Shou box. I am a Sheng addict xD

You know, the information is laid out quite well who has it and when they will ship it to where… we can easily get into some organized crime together, it is on my bucket list: Let tea break down my moral compass.
I’ll PM the game plan.
(For the sake of those who can’t read humor in the web: This is not serious)

I doubt a break in would be needed. Steepsters + tea = instant tea party!

Haha!

We would just show up and end up tea drunk and then forget the game plan xD

Uniquity said

Well, a number of teaboxes were stolen a while ago, so there is tea crime out there! :)

someone stole tea??? Really? is that why this is called “here’s hoping?”

Who would steal a tea box?? D:

Some people just can’t handle the tea.

Uniquity said

They just didn’t forward them on when it got to them. Usually it happens with less established users or individuals with no/little swapping cred. That is why a lot of boxes recently have been very strict on active participation and a good history. Sometimes you need ALL the tea, apparently!

I was just joking… Sad that others would abuse a community like that.

I joined when tea boxes are how they are now. I wasn’t around for the pre-box theft times. I just thought they were always like this. :)

Uniquity said

Perhaps! I think the most recent disappearances happened about 6 months ago. 2 or 3 went missing at the same time. Sadly, one of them also contained CHOCOLATE! Like, good chocolate! Now I’m hungry.

I can hand make fresh matcha infused chocolate drizzled strawberry wedges if you come over :)

Uniquity said

Can you send me the strawberries? :D

Chocolate matcha cheesecake occompined by strawberry slices by Liquid Proust a Kickstarter in the making… Though cake pops would be 10x easier.

I’ll do my best to get this out Friday. I ended up getting back from vacation on Tuesday instead of Sunday.

I took the blood orange puerh (not sure the company) and the 2006 jinggu dragon egg from puerhshop. I finished off Lemon Rose Bud from Fusion Teas.
I sampled Strawberry Sundae (Della Terra), Earl Grey Creme (Della Terra), Oolong Orange Blossom (Metro Tea Co), Rose Ti Kuan Yin (Tian Hu Shan), and Lychee Rose (Marketspice).
I added 2015 Runglee Rungliot Classic Spring Darjeeling Chinary Black (Teabox), 2015 Chota Tingrai Classic Spring Assam Black (Teabox), Hizen Black Tea (Steepster), Green Chai (The Tea Table).
I’m sure I forgot something, but it was a wonderful box. I wish I had more time with it instead of being on vacation :)

I’ll be looking forward to it :)
Excited!!

The box is on it’s way.

Awesome!!!

Kieblera5 – Please don’t forget the list of teas removed/added. Hope the vacation was great!

edited my original post :)

Aww, you should have kept the box a few more days! I hope no one is rushing with the tea box. It’s a big box and I don’t want people to be feeling they have to mail out the teabox quickly. Try all the teas you’d like to try (and taking out samples for later is always an option). No rushing… as long as it doesn’t take about three months. :D It should basically be worth the $10+ it takes to mail back out.

Got the box on Friday! It’s possibly the biggest TTB I have ever encountered! I will send it out ASAP, I am going to Vegas for a few weeks for a new job, (Drumroll please…. I’m going to be working with Tealet!!!) so I am parceling out some samples for myself now.

So should I put less than 16oz in myself… I may already have pound bagged and tagged awaiting the box… maybe…

carol who said

Congrats! What will you be doing with Tealet?

Oh awesome… I hope it’s a fun job, whatever it is. TEA!

LiquidProust – WHAA??!! Haha. You were definitely “hoping” the box would make it to you. Or you are very very optimistic. The post office did just overhaul some things too, like adding tracking to every package.

Congrats on the new job! Vegas in the summertime… enjoy the air conditioning. ;-)
