This has been so much fun ladies! Thank you all for adding so many different teas to try and play around with. I am so glad you all let me be a part of this. Here are some pictures that I took of the box when it first arrived at my place. Please over look the mess in the back ground!

…and that cake looks delicious, also. Yum. :)

It’s Kulich (Russian Easter cake) from a local bakery and it was maybe TOO delicious because I managed to finish off a good portion of it between studying and sampling teas. :-x

The box just arrived today, back to home base. :) It’s grown up quite a bit! I am going to be on vacation for the next week but when I get back, I’ll get to tasting and I’ll start this thread up again and we’ll see who wants to be in on the next round!

Thank you so much, everyone, for keeping this moving along and active. It’s been fun to read everyone’s reviews and see what went in and came out of the box!

Here’s a picture of the box with a box of TicTacs for size perspective. Since you can’t really tell from the photo, it’s about 4 inches deep as well! And zoom in to check out the awesome artwork EvaGrimm put in on her card!!!
