The box arrived! Technically yesterday, but my mail guy pulled a “we missed you” slip without ringing my door bell, with me waiting at home for the package! I’ll have pictures up soon. There’s around 109 teas!

What the hey, mail guy?! haha 109 teas.. oh boy, it’s growing again.

Uhhh, I wonder if I hold the record on most teas sampled? Though I wasn’t that great at tealogging it all. I’m about ready to ship, most likely Thursday.

Edit: I forgot to mention, I changed the box as it was quite jammed packed(how’d you get all the teas in here TeaTiff?). I also repackaged some teas that had leaking packages.

There we go, a blog entry and photos from this tea box http://oolongowl.com/traveling-tea-box/

I love your teabox blog entries… I just wished you would have tried the Blueberry Limon. I have a couple teaspoons of it I will add to the next teabox. I would have added it to this teabox, but I already saw that one in there. Darn!

I love the owl’s and the pictures! So fun. Your blog had me hooked. Such a cute idea.

I received the box last night. It has a ginormous amount of tea. I guess I will be very hydrated this week, since I still am sampling my way through another box.

Hi all,
I am ready to send out the box tomorrow. Moraiwe please PM me your address or Tea Sipper can send it to me too. I will post what I tried/will try and what I added tomorrow after work.

I don’t have Moraiwe’s address… hopefully they get the address to you before the time you’d like to mail it.

She hasn’t posted a tasting note in 2 months, might be inactive overall?

I’m not sure if Moraiwe is inactive or not. I don’t collect addresses at all since I don’t want the teabox getting mailed to an old address. It’s better if the person sending it asks the person they are mailing the teabox to.

Lolainred please follow me and PM me your address. If I have not heard from Moraiwe by Thursday, I will mail the box to you. Thanks.

Done!

TraceyC just sent me a message saying the teabox was mailed to lolainred today, no reply from Moraiwe. If Moraiwe wants to participate still, let me know and I’ll move you further in the list! Please don’t forget to post here what you removed/added from the box, TraceyC. :D

I will for sure, but I have been working long hours. I have it all written down. Just need to sit down and type it out. I should have it posted by this weekend.

Woohoo! The box has arrived! I might have startled my mail carrier when I flung the door open to snatch it off the porch 5 seconds after she put it there… there is SO much tea in here.

haha. Hope you find some you like. :D
