Great Canadian Tea Box Round 5! Sign ups CLOSED

Hi all,
I think it is time to get this round going. There was a bit of interest a few months ago but we decided to wait until the new year.

So far just looking for participants to sign up. Hopefully will get is going in February!

It will run similar to the other rounds unless someone has some new and exciting earthshattering recommendations.

Those who participated in previous rounds will have first dibs on participating in this round. Others can join in depending on space available. (The reason for limiting the number of participants is to make sure the box does not get lost, to keep the box weight relatively small, and to ensure we can continuing sending it out for future rounds). New participants may be accepted if there is space available on a first come first serve basis.

So here is the order:
Tigress Al, SK (Recevied on January 24/16)
Sil, ON (Received February 5/16)
Christina, ON
Evol Ving Ness, ON
Shezza, BC
Sir Turtle, BC
Jillian, BC
Roswell Strange, SK
Lala, SK

For all participants and anyone interested in participating, PLEASE READ these rules:

-This is a Canadian travelling box. We will not be shipping internationally (except to those who have participated in previous rounds) unless we need more participants.

- New participants must have some activity and history on steepster.

-You will be required to pay for postage when you send the box out. It is not mandatory, but would be beneficial to send the travelling box with a tracking number in case it gets lost. In the first round, shipping was between $9 -15 depending on the weight on the box.

-Please try to replace what you took out, considering quality, price, weight. Do not add more than what you took out. We need to keep the box a manageable size.

-Try not to keep the box for longer than ONE WEEK. (This is not a set timeline, however we would like to keep the box moving in a fairly timely and efficient manner). Please keep the thread updated when you receive the box and when you are sending it out. You can remove teas/samples to try at a later date if needed.

-Follow the people who are before and after you in the list so you can PM about addresses and such.

-Please label all the teas with your name, the tea name and the tea company. If you can add recommended steeping parameters, that would be great.

-Please make sure to package teas appropriately so that strongly scented teas do not contaminate the other teas, and so that no teas escape and wander the box while in the mail.

- Please replace the box if it becomes damaged.

- There will be a small notebook in the tea box. Please update the book with which teas you took out and which teas you added. REMEMBER to keep the book in the tea box so the next participant can update it. (I took this out for the last round, but will put it back in for this round based on feedback).
