+ ROUND TWO USA 'Here's Hoping' teabox - SIGNUPS now CLOSED for round two! USA only
So I officially sent the box out today after being packed up for 2 days ready to go… :/ I will send tracking number to Shelley_Loraine and Teasipper tomorrow morning after work. :) I left it in my car and its about time for bed as I get up at 3Am for work. I hope everyone enjoys my additioms to the box!
I got the box today! so excited. I am in desperate need of new teas to try.
BrewTEAlly Sweet was so kind to include some German candies for me as well as some odd looking colorful squishy things. I wasn’t quite sure the latter was edible, but going with curious cat-like instinct rather than human rationality, I ate one before attempting to research the matter further. Lucky for me, they are tasty squishy
things :) Thanks BrewTEAlly (^.^)
Pictures, of course :D

well, apparently they are marshmallows or, rather, Chamollows, which I mistakenly read as Chamomile at first, so I was very confused…. lol
omg, i just have to say now that those Fruchte Bavaria Bonbons are soooo yummy! I don’t generally like hard candies, but these are an exception. I looked all over for a vender that would ship to the US, but no luck! I know what I’m stocking up on first chance I get in Germany. :D
Aww gee, I was so excited. . . but looks like they’re out of stock. :( Go figure the one candy I’m looking for is the only one with a red out-of-stock banner. Oh well, at least I know there is a source and an unfortunately large selection to get me hooked on other stuff too. haha.
Good news, I’m just about done with the box! I’ve sampled everything that I intended to sample, just need to decide what I want to keep and add. I’m definitely keeping the Heritage Gyokuro sample, but I’m saving that one for when I have time to really enjoy it.
I don’t have time to get to the post office before friday, but it will definitely go out on friday.

Box will go out Monday! :)
wow, that was fast! amazing that wyoming ships out so quickly, but receiving stuff takes an extra day or two b/c the mail people here don’t feel like delivering right away. lol.
Oh my gosh! All of you have been so fast with this teabox! I hope everyone is taking enough time to enjoy! All of the lists of additions to the box have been lovely – I want to try 99% of those teas. :D
Just so this updated, QueenOfTarts sent me a message saying that the box was mailed on the 18th.
Teabox showed up today! YAY!
I’m probably not going to be as quick as the speedsters in front of me (with the holiday next week and all), but I’ll try not to be long with the box. :)
No problem with taking longer – I can’t believe it went to five people in a month! I’m a little worried there will be more of a chance for the box to get lost around holiday mailing time anyway. So many more packages!
Just as an update, I’m about 3/4 the way through the box and will have it back on the move sometime late this week or the weekend at the latest!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! :)
I’m going to be out of town all weekend and don’t want the box to sit out in the rain/snow, could you wait a few days and drop it in the mail Saturday? That will give you a few extra days to work through everything :)
