Teeny Tiny TTB Rd2 (North America) SIGNUPS CLOSED

So round one of the TTTTB was a grand success [http://steepster.com/discuss/7181-teeny-tiny-ttb-us-only-signups-closed] and I’m ready to re-stuff the box and get it out in the mail again.

Friendly reminder – this box is on the small side, so it’s samples only. A max of 4-5 tsp per tea should give most participants a decent chance to try each one, so feel free to treat this as a way to get rid of those last few tsps so you have an excuse to re-order. :D

RULES:
+ You must mail with the delivery confirmation option! Post updates on the box in this thread.

+ Please add an equal amount of tea that you remove (no loading it up with an oz or two of something you hate, since that’d just be rude), but feel free to swap stuff out (or finish it off) since they’re such small samples…but no tins, please, since they’ll weigh it down.

+ Please send the delivery confirmation number to me and the person to whom you are mailing the box. Please do NOT post in this thread with the delivery confirmation number for privacy reasons.

+ When you get the box sample (or decide what teas you want to remove to sample) and replace them with the teas you are sending on. Please only keep the teabox for a week or two at most…that should be plenty of time to try a bunch of samples and make a decision about what to keep and what to put back in.

+ Please make sure you are following at least a couple people after you and before you on the mailing list so you can give your address, get the next address and in case the next person doesn’t respond. Also, ask for the next person’s address as soon as you get the teabox. Check to make sure the next person is ready to get the box shortly before you mail it out because something may have changed – maybe they moved or are out of town or are indisposed.

If you do not get a response from the person after you on the list within 3 days, move on to the next person, making sure to let me and the person you are skipping know they are being skipped. If you cannot send a PM to the person next on the list because they are not following you, let me know. I will be following everyone on the list and you must follow me after being added or I will remove you from the list and add someone else.

Also, let me know if something comes up before the box gets to you and I can shuffle you around in the list – like if you are going to be on vacation or out of town when it is your turn to get the box.

+ Make sure each tea name and brand is labeled, at minimum. It would also be a nice addition to list the recommended steep time and temp. If it is something that isn’t found on Steepster already, please include ingredients.

+ If you put in strong smelling teas, please at least double bag them and even wrap in foil if possible to keep out any cross contamination of other teas.

+ Make sure the box isn’t too beat up before you send it to the next person and replace with a new teeny tiny box if necessary. Please try to keep the box the same size and do NOT use a USPS priority box to replace the box since that forces the next person in line to use Priority mail as well and that may be cost prohibitive for them.

I’m looking forward to sharing the teeny tiny box with you all. :)
