An update!

I’m about 1/4 of the way through (there’s a loooot of tea here) the box so I figured one was in order.

So far I’ve taken out:

DAVIDsTEA Ceylon Star
DAVIDsTEA Blueberry Jam (there was only one cup’s worth)
52 Teas White Chocolate Grasshopper

And I’ve put in (in varying amounts):

52 Teas Caramel Apple Oolong
DAVIDsTEA Mom’s Apple Pie
Teavana Kukimatcha
Teavana Sweet Cranberry Black
Adagio Coconut
Upton Vanilla Black
English Tea Leaves Ti Guan Yin
Cameron’s Spicy Plum

ooh! I hope the spicy plum is still in it when it gets to me!

When someone in the know has a chance, can s/he update the routing of the box. Understandably it’s changed for the original on page 1, but I couldn’t piece it together to see who’s up when. Thanks.

I’ve updated the list to my understanding of the current order. Shadowfall had asked to move back a few spots, and I made the change in the list in the box but didn’t update the on-line list.

Also, I had moved Martine in order to put more separation between the two boxes, but the change didn’t happen in the ChuckieRoy box. So, we have a different order between the two boxes. At this point, it probably makes the most sense for me to send the ChuckieRoy box to Martine, then she can send to Short Sorceress. Don’t worry Martine, we won’t skip you.

Thank you for all your work coordinating everything.

Giving this, and the other thread, both a kick back to the main page so they don’t get lost.

Any word on the box?

Darby asked me to post here for her to let everyone know that the box is on its way once more. Apparently her computer is having trouble opening up Steepster topics.

Tracking is – 9405 9036 9930 0096 2962 78
I’m not sure of any other details other than the number she gave me. So excited for it. XD

Yay! How exciting!

Alright. So the box arrived today. Yay! I stopped by my Parent’s house to pick it up before work and my Mom convinced me to open it so she could see what was inside. She was almost as excited to open it as I was. I’ll have to replace the box since the one Darby shipped it in was one of the priority boxes with the glued down flaps and I had to rip it open to get into it. Lol.
There was so much tea. Though when I dumped it out, loose tea spilled out from a cut package (the Darjeeling Decaf I think), but it was only a little bit and I taped the hole shut.
I couldn’t really do much more than look at all the packages before I had to go to work, and now it’s too late to actually try anything now that I’m home. But aside from some errands, I’ll have all day free tomorrow to go through everything properly. Lol.
I’m not sure what Darby took out or added since, as far as I can tell, there’s no extra notations on any of the sheets in the box about it, and she didn’t post about it here. But I’ll sort through everything and try to figure out a list, then post it here.
Oh boy oh boy. /rubs hands together/ I can’t wait. Lol!

Oh, and Moraiwe – The drawings on your notes are adorable! I loved the little dragon especially. (I’m guessing they’re your notes at least.)

yay! i love reading about these! especially when It will eventually actually be heading my way, even though not anytime soon.

moraiwe said

Yeah, those are mine haha! I had way too much fun making those!
