Great Canadian Tea Box Round 5! Sign ups CLOSED

Oh yay!

Hello!

I’ve been enjoying my time with the box, and now it’s about time to pass it on, but before I do I have a few questions for everyone.

1. Browncoat Genmaicha is one of the older teas in the box, and it’s tasting a bit past it’s prime imo. Any objections to me binning it to make room for new stuff?

2. There’s two Bossa Nova oolongs in here, both from Zen Tea and added this round, anyone mind if I consolidate them into a single package.

3. Any requests?

Surprising that that Genmaicha has made it this far already.

Great ideas, shezza.

“other” box is gtg…just need direction on where is should be headed :)

Hi All,

The box is now with me. Looking forward to diving in!

Part 2? box is on it’s way as of yesterday to tigress haha

Hi everyone,

I’ll be sending the box along in the next couple days and was wondering if there were any requests. My cupboard isn’t up to date so I won’t be taking specific requests, but if anyone is interested in a particular type of tea (e.g. blends, oolong, puerh) I’ll do my best to include those.

Cheers!

Hi,

I’ve sent the box on its way to Jillian. Thanks for letting me take part in this TTB; it’s been lots of fun! Looking forward to part 2 as well. I noticed Rosswell was looking to try out some pu so I added a few in there and it seems like many people here enjoy blends so I added the one blend I happen to have. The box is super full!
