Great Canadian Travelling Tea Box Round Six--CLOSED

Thanks for the inventory, Arby. You didn’t have to do that, but, hey, we appreciate it.

Enjoy!

I will be sitting this round out. Life is too crazy right now with sick kids and starting a new job! I will participate next round though! Enjoy!

Hey Mackie,

I’m following you but you need to follow me back so I can pass my address along to you :)

Also tigress, let me know if anything on any of the lists of stuff in the box posted here in the thread interests you! I’d be happy to pull some samples out for you to be passed on at a later date; we’re in the same town after all so getting stuff to you when life isn’t as crazy shouldn’t be too hard.

The box has landed!

I’ve set aside things I’m interested in trying/will likely pull out and already added in a few things that I know I want to share.

If anyone sees anything in my cupboard they want to try let me know and I can probably add it as well. Around half my cupboard is smaller quantities of things, but I think I can spare enough of just about anything for at least one mug’s worth for someone to try.

Also, since it landed today the current plan is to send it out to Ubacat next Saturday (the 28th) since that’s a week after I received it. I believe that’s still who’s following me?

As far as I know, Ubacat is next in line. Please contact her for details.

Hi Everyone,

I posted a separate discussion thread for GCTTB Round Seven going out in May—in time for the fresh flavours of spring and summer. Please sign up if interested in participating.

Got the tea box today. So many teas!!!!

I sent off the tea box today to Sil. I wanted to add more but the box was really full even after I tried quite a bit! I noticed there was a bit of cross contamination probably due to clear plastic bags being used. My suggestion for future boxes would be to only use the quality zip lock bags. Another suggestion is to mark the dates on the teas that they were bought. I did this on mine and I think it really helps to remove old teas by looking at dates. Just a suggestion! I really enjoyed participating.
