Puerh TTB - IMPORTANT NOTE
In another week or so, both the original Puerh TTB and the Puerh Plus TTB will be finishing their rounds. As usual, I will spend a few weeks sorting through them, possibly exchanging teas from one to the other, and then sending them back out.
Please let me know if you are interested in participating in either box by responding below. For more detail, see:

As always, vendor donations would be appreciated. I encourage reviews on donated teas, but to be honest, our history on that has been spotty, at least in part because people take samples, mail out the box, and then finish up the samples over a period of months.
I’ll join! But… odd request, would you mind putting me in slot #5?
edit: If there are two separate boxes, I’m more interested in the Puer TTB
That should be possible. More to the point, I can try to target a particular time, but plus or minus a few weeks.
On second thought, I think I’ll pull out. It’s not because I’m not interested – I am – but rather, I don’t have the experience with and palate for puer to know whether I’m taking and giving back the good stuff, and I wouldn’t want to jilt the rest of the participants.
I’ll join once I have a few more months with puer under my belt, probably with the TTB6. How often do these things happen?
The last round started in early July and the next will probably go out in October. That was a bit faster than usual, but every 4-6 months is typical.
It sounds like TTB6 will be better timing, then. I just don’t want to be unable to reciprocate to the other participants. By the time TTB6 shows up, I’ll have some nice tea to spread out!
If you’re okay with it, I would like to host the Ohio box meet up again. I have a few people interested in getting into pu
I’d like to sign up the the Pu’erh Plus Box again (was a part of the round before last).
Forgot to say: You can put me towards the end of the list. I haven’t yet finished drinking the samples from the last TTB because….summer. I’ll make sure to drink those and get reviews up before I get this box if you do allow me participate.
I would be interested. I don’t have much puerh to contribute but would love to try some varieties so perhaps I could pay a small fee or take a request?
The Puerh Plus TTB lets you sample puerh and replace it with other unflavored black/green/oolong teas. As long as you have some of those teas, you should be OK
I’d rather not get into cash payments. You might also want to keep an eye on Liquid Proust’s offerings. His group buys often involve puerh.
I’d like to be in again, round 6 puer TTB only.
Seattle WA. I won’t be around early Oct and the time around US Thanksgiving.
I forgot to mention that I need to know which state you live in. If you were involved in previous boxes, I already have this info. I’m trying to follow everyone who expresses interest, so you can PM me if you want. I usually try to put together a minimum-distance itinerary, though I’m getting a lot of requests for scheduling. I’ll work it all out when I get a final head count.
I’ts been 7 days since anyone new signed up, and we have relatively few takers. At the moment, there are only 3 people signed up for the PTTB Plus and 1 signed up for PTTB-6. One person wanted both and two didn’t specify. I think what I should do is to mail out the PTTB-Plus box within a couple of weeks, but then just sit on the PTTB-6 for a month or two and try again.
I think what is happening is that the puerh community is relatively small and most of us have tried the boxes at least once.
As always, I’m open to feedback.
