Congratulations Amy! You totally need to post pictures of the box when it gets to you!

Nice! it’s a little exciting that it’s going to someone whose first tasting note is 10 days ago and they only have david’s tea logged. Makes me happy to think of the fun it will be to open up that box and try all the new teas and such :)

I thought that same thing, Sil, it’s fabulous that someone new who has only logged one brand will get to try some great teas!! I hope you have an adventure opening the box and tasting everything, Amy!!!

I was a little worried that a bunch of people were going ot guess it exactly when Javan guessed so close about 30 seconds after I posted the discussion! But I guess it worked out.

Did many people see my “hint”?

I thought I saw a ‘hint’ in a tasting note you did, but I didn’t get what it was saying!

Small
CharlotteZero said 2013-03-06 16:02:45 -0500

I saw the hint before I saw the post about the contest. It only occurred to me what that tasting note might be about after I’d guessed.

Would have been funny if you had rule that closest guess not over the amount was winner won it.. then it would have been won within 30 seconds haha

Jason said 2013-03-06 16:19:17 -0500

For those who didn’t see it, here was my “clue”: http://steepster.com/jason/posts/158370

It’s listing the number format (lbs, oz with 1 decimal) and the comment on that is the exact dimensions of the box, if that was helpful.

At one point I was also thinking of picking a tea from a specific tea plantation in another country, then somehow listing the price it would cost the ship the box to that plantation in the tasting note (like masking the price as the amount of tea I used) so that you could possibly reverse engenieer the weight of the box from the shipping location and box dimesion. But that didn’t happen.
