The tea box has landed! I was out of town on a ride this weekend, but luckily my housesitter picked it up and it looks awesome. :)

I’ll start in on the tasting notes later tonight – they’ll be tagged TTBC Rd2 if anyone else wants to follow along.

Okay, so apparently none of the posts I made over the weekend actually posted. Blargh.

Anyway, box is in the mail as of yesterday. I’ll finish updating the removed/added lists from memory and that’s that. :)

It’s vacation time. Please look at the schedule and let me know if you think there might be a conflict. AlexaK has the box now. Moraiwe, EvaGrimm, and Jump62359 are next. Dustin has opted out, so Naylynn would be next.

I’m actually moving out on tuesday, moving into a new apartment in the same area, but I’m 95% sure that my mailing address is still the same! I’ll have to doublecheck on tuesday.
I’ll have this address till the end of August/beginning of September.

Dr Jim said

No worry.

All’s good here! Someone update me if there’s an address change for jump62359. :)

Of course! I’ll know tomorrow and shoot you a message as soon as I find out :)

Looks like my mailing address is the same! EvaGrimm, I’ll shoot you a message now :)

Please let me know if you need an alternate.

Thanks for the offer, but our usual approach is to just rearrange the order of the remaining folks.

Hey guys! The box is fabulous! I haven’t had a lot of time to do a lot of tasting so I’m going to do a little today and a lot more tomorrow, finish it up and hopefully get it in the mail on Saturday.

It’s been too long since we’ve had any activity on this box. Can AlexaK and Moraiwe please update status?

Also, it is the middle of vacation time. Please let me know if you’re unavailable at anytime in the next 2 months.

I am going on a weekend “vacation” in September (the 19-22), but otherwise no expected travels for me.

No expected travels for me either.~

The tracking number says Moraiwe should have received it by now.
