There’s so much tea in this box.
I sent out the box today! Since I have yet to try much puerh, I took 2g samples of ten sheng and ten shou, and added some things to the non-puerh bag. I’ll post tasting notes when I get around to trying them, but I have some samples from last year I want to finish up first. This box is probably in the running for the largest TTB I’ve participated in, it is massive!
I removed/sampled the following:
Yunnan Sourcing, Premium Shou Tuocha 6g
Yunnan Sourcing, Feng Qing Gold Needle Spring 2015 5g
White2Tea, 2011 Aged White Fuding 20g
White2Tea, 2009 Yiwu 7g
Bitterleafteas, Hummingbird 2013 Spring 7g
Whispering Pines Tea, Yabao 2015 7g
I added the following:
White2Tea, Myanmar Wild Buds 2015/2014, 7g
Teavivre, Fengqing Ancient Tree 2014 7g
White2Tea, Old Reliable 2016 20g
Unknown, Braided Puer Raw, 9g
Unknown, 2009 Pashah 7g -/+
Unknown, Yiwu Mahei 2002 4g -/+
Unknown, Bulang Puer “1980’s” 4g -/+
Tao Tea Leaf, Purple Puerh 4.5g
The unknown’s are to serve for educational purposes. You can determine their authenticity and character.
I have the box now! I will ship sometime next week. I can only gongfu and analyze tea on weekends, so it’ll take a couple months for me to post all of my reviews. I’ll browse and take samples during the few days it’s in my possession.
I’m sending the box off to Dr. Jim tomorrow. It took me an hour to get everything set!
What I took:
Old Reliable – 5g
2011 Menghai 8592 – 5g

The box just arrived. See my other post to sign up for the next round.
Just out of curiosity, are there any teas that made it all the way through the box travels without getting completely used?
I’ll probably be posting more on this later, but more than half of the teas in the box were there when I mailed it 4 months ago. Most of course had reduced quantity. One of my tasks is to try to figure out which were so unpopular that I should remove them and which will probably be taken if left in the box. i also have the option of moving tea between the two boxes.
