Travelling Tea Box - The Great Canadian Edition (Round 2: December 2013) SIGN UPS CLOSED
I will not be travelling during the holidays, am part of Southwestern Ontario, and would love to join up for this.
IHateMyself – can you follow me so we can PM. I have you as first in the list, I need to know if that works for you and if we can set a date to send the box out?
I am going to close sign ups for now as we have had more than 10 people that have expressed interest. I am still waiting to hear back from BenTea and then we will come up with a list for the box.
Apologies that we are only accepting 10 people so not everyone may make it in. First we will come up with a list and then have to verify to make sure everyone still wants to participate.
I will keep everyone posted.
Wow. I completely missed this before it even closed!
So glad to see there’s a lot of interest for boxes in Canada. If you do happen to need more folks, I’d be happy to participate. Either way, I’m excited to see what y’all put in there. :)
I’m bummed I missed out on this. If there is a need for another person, I would be interested.
Ok so here is a list, its not the finalized list yet, but this is where we will start. I have not gotten a response from BenTea yet on this thread or by PM.
Will all of these people please confirm if they still want to participate.
Sil (ON)
Dexter (MB)
Calla (ON)
AshleyElizabeth (BC)
Janelle (SK)
Mewakling (MB)
Kirlika (AB)
IHateMyself (ON)
If you don’t hear back from BenTea, I would really love to join. I am in Quebec for most of the year with the exception of the few weeks I will be in Florida (although I suppose that time in Florida is possibly why I didn’t make the cut in the first place :P)
VariaTEA – Its not that you didn’t make the cut, you will most likely be able to participate. I am just checking to make sure that those people I listed still want to participate so I know how many spaces we have left. You may have noticed I only listed 8 people above so far. I will be in contact with everyone else shortly when I know :)
Don’t worry Lala, I did notice there was only 8. I was merely joking about not making the cut because I definitely understand having to limit the people involved and giving those who participated before first dibs. I hope I did not offend anyone with my stupid comment and of course I apologize if I did.
OK So here is an order for the box. I am ready to send it out and can send as early as this Sunday depending on if that works. If it doesn’t we can wait until the new year. Please let me know if there are any problems in the order. It is hard to know when each person will get the box. The last box cycled through people about every 10-15 days (roughly).
I will send to :
IHateMyself ON
Dexter MB
Kirlika AB
AshleyElizabeth BC
Jewelled Thumb US
Sil ON
VariaTea QC
Calla ON
mewakling MB
Janelle SK
and back to me
Hey I am good with this :) and im totally ready to start if that is good with everyone else :)
Sorry just made a quick switch of Janelle and Kirlika as in the last round Janelle send to AshleyE and I wanted to make sure it was mixed up.
Hey Lala, I don’t think I mentioned in the post, but I’m in Maryland, which is on the east coast. I see AshleyElizabeth is in BC. I don’t know if she is still willing to send all the way to the east. If she isn’t (or if she’s the only one willing to send to the US), I totally understand. I honestly don’t know if that impacts the price for you all or not. For the US, there tends to be different pricing “regions”. In any case, I just wanted to let you (and her) know.
While I would be disappointed in missing another traveling box, I would completely understand! =)
Hey Lala, I will be in Florida from Dec. 19- Jan 7. My roommate will be at our apartment until Jan 2 but I am worried that where I am in the order the box might arrive the week no one is there to accept it and so it will get bounced back to Dexter. If it is not too much trouble, perhaps I can go a bit later in the order so that I get the box something after I return from Florida. I will be returning with lots of teas too so I will have a wider variety of teas to add. I really don’t want to make things difficult though so if the order can’t be changed I will figure something out.
OK I changed the order. I put VariaTea closer to the end (just to try to work it geographically).
Thank you Lala. I really do appreciate all your hard work. I swear I am not this difficult a person most of the time.
I am flexible, the later the better for me as I won’t be back until January 2nd, but after that I am golden!
I was thinking we could have a theme for the box. I was thinking it would be easy to do a local tea shops theme. Each person could include at least one sample from a local tea shop. (If there is no local tea shop that is ok).
So I thought I’d put it out there to anyone after me. If anyone has a hankering for anything from the US that I could place in the box without making it super heavy then send me a message and I’ll see what I can do. =)
OK, so the box is most likely going out this Sunday. Woot! I will post about what is in the box once things are finalized.
Please remember to follow the people in front of and behind you so that you can PM about addresses and shipping. The order is as stated above, I will also post it in the topic description area as well. It is anticipated that the box will be to Dexter around Xmas time, and to Kirlika around the New Year (with some varibility expected due to shipping time).
This box will be a “local tea shop” theme. If you are able to put in at least one sample of a tea from a local tea shop, that would be great. If you are in an area where there are no local tea shops, don’t worry about it.
OK, box will be going out to IHateMyself tomorrow. I put it in a much smaller box to keep the weight down, but there is approximately the same amount of tea in it than what came back to me from round 1 :)

I will post tomorrow after I send it out about how much it cost to send.
What flavour are the love exlirs?
And I so want to try Rose Congu green, I’ve always wanted to go to DT and buy some to try, so this will be an amazing opportun-tea if it is still around when I get the box. And what is snow bunny, i’ve never heard of that one from DT so im guessing its an older tea they used to have. SO much excitement :))))
The love elixirs are herbals. I don’t know what flavours they are, but I am sure you can look it up.
