I was just typing that we’re missing someone- but then I realized that AmazonV started w/ Angrboda as 0 (she gets a 100 in my book!) and that’s what threw me off. I know notarevolution is right before me and I know I’m 16. Jason (steepster man) is after me.

Does Jason have a son? He should… then we can say “he’s the son of a steepster man!”… ok wow… really lame Pulp Fiction joke… I’m going to bed now and saving everyone from more bad humor:)

Doulton said 2010-03-15 18:47:59 -0400

Yes, that looks correct. I think that you are number 19, threewhales.
AmazonV, would you like me to post that here or would you prefer a private message?

Just wondering where we were in the grand scheme of things:)
Thanks for the update.

I have the box packed up and ready to go. WIth the possible exception of one tea bag, everything that Angrboda added has been claimed.
Everything the second person added has been claimed aside from one tiny serving of Thayer St.

For the third person, everything added has been claimed.

For the fourth person, everything added has been claimed.

Person number 5: 3 of the McNulty’s are still in play, but are down to small serving sizes.

Person 6: a small amount of your TeaHaus contribution remains.

Person 7: Everything is gone aside from the possibility of tea bags (I didn’t really look into those)

Person 8: Remains: some tea bags
6 loose teas

So you can see that there is a lot of turn around but the box is still very filled.

I’ll get it in the mail this afternoon or tomorrow at the latest and will post when it’s on its way.

Agreed, double thanks for listing everything =]

All my stuff has been claimed =(

Doulton said 2010-03-18 15:49:01 -0400

I’ll keep it open if you like and so a full census of what is in it right now. I will package it up and get it to the PO by tomorrow, however.

threewhales said 2010-03-18 18:46:48 -0400

That would be splendid:)

AmazonV said 2010-03-18 21:59:18 -0400

Posted on my personal TTB samples progress here: http://amazonv.blogspot.com/2010/03/steepster-traveling-teabox-my-progress.html

Between all the samples and swaps and orders I have gotten lately I haven’t gotten too far, shame on me

Small
Doulton said 2010-03-19 18:18:10 -0400

Here is my list:
I think I added a bit more than I took because I took so many single servings and added many multiple servings.

Removed:
1 serving Special Teas Almonds with Pieces
1 serving Mariage Freres, Thé de Pasques
1 serving Ann Arbor TeaHaus Cream Black Tea
1 serving Samovar Royal Garland
1 serving Samovar Masala Chai
Premium Steap Chocolate Coconut
Adagio Masala Chai
1 serving Black Panyang Congou
1 serving Organic Black with Coconut Premium Steap
2 servings McNulty’s Vanilla Blend
2 tsps. Andao Spring Snail Shell
Remainder of bag of Premium Steap Cozy Almond

I did add more than I took, but my interest is more in tasting than in accumlation. There were quite a few small tins that had only one serving left in them.

ADDED:
1 box empty tea bags
2. K-Teas Captain’s Blend Earl Grey
3. Kusmi Tea: small tin Troika
4/ Teavana After Dark
5. SerendipiTea: De-Caff Chocolate A-Peel
6. The Tea Table: Belgian Chocolate Rooibos
7. Culinary Teas Orange Spice
8. Ganmaicha Green Tea with Rice
9. Rishi Organic White Tea
10. Teavana Six Summits Oolong (almost the entire bag)
11. About 8 sundry tea bags
12. Boston Pomegranate Black tea bags

I took a photo but I don’t know when or if I will succeed in getting it uploaded. I do have a FLICKR account and will let you know if I manage to work it.
