Are you willing to ship to Canada? If so, I can fit you in on the list next. Otherwise, I’d be happy to include you in the next round.

if need be, it can always detour from skysamurai and go elsewhere first. I have no issues waiting longer if we need to change up the rotation.

I have no problem shipping to Canada thats only like a few miles away from me anyways xD This sounds really cool :)

what exactly is the list?

Skysamurai said

It’s on the second page. It’s a list of all the teas in the box =] If you are okay with sending the tea to Canada I will just send the box to you next. I will follow you and then will you send me your address. Also if you see anything in my cupboard you want to try =]

Sil I still have the stuff in the box that you want to try

i’m super easy – happy to rotate someone in between me if no one else cares

Anlina said

Cool, sounds good. I’ve added Haveteawilltravel to the list to receive the box next.

Awesome I love it :) A new tea shop just opened down the street so I’ll go pick up a sampler

I had forgotten to mention that I am a flight attendant so some of the local teas i put in are teas i came across in my travels.

I would love to do this, but I don’t really have any good local tea shops. The closest ones to me are low quality teas that seem to come from bulk distributors.. the “fancy” tea shops near me (near D.C.) are way too expensive (e.g., 60 bucks for 2 ounces of dong ding oolong) and I can easily get equal quality elsewhere. I wish I had a good store close by!

The box has already been sent back to Canada, but if you’d like to be included in the next round we can do that. :) You don’t need to include local stuff if you don’t have anything good near you – just teas that aren’t well reviewed here.

Anlina – maybe change the subject line?

It’s here! Rescued it from Mail Jail today and I’ll need AT LEAST the weekend to go through this. Honestly, there are a ton of teas in here that look fantastic!

Yay!! I’m glad it reached you :D

Anlina said

Yay! Keep it for a full week if there’s lots you want to try. I don’t want it to stall but I don’t want anyone to feel terribly rushed either. :)

Sil select said

i hear ya! I’ve gotten it sorted and a bit organised in terms of things that i’ll finish up because there’s only a cup left and thinks i want to try out. Need to find a replacement box as well since the current one is a little worse for wear heh

awww did it get banged up?

Sil select said

aye…i think the post office was jealous of our amazing box :)

hahah feeling a lil tea envy ;)
