Butiki has offered to do a third educational traveling tea box as they clean out the remaining teas that they have!

The vast majority of these teas are not teas we sell. We would like to lump them in groups, so that they could be tasted at the same time so one could draw a conclusion about type of tea or location. For instance, we could lump together 2nd Flush Assams. Most of these will be unlabeled other then generally what they are. For instance, a label might say Assam #1, 2013 2nd Flush.

These teas will all be unflavored.
 Please note all of our samples are stored together and occasionally we receive unsolicited flavored teas. Due to a slight potential cross contamination we ask that anyone with a serious allergy not participate.
 Most of these don’t have dates and we can’t be sure how old they are. We will try to keep this box to teas of higher quality and more recent teas.


If there is anyone willing to pay to ship to Canada, please indicate that in your post and that will determine Canadian participation. Priority will be given to people who have not had a chance to participate at all yet, and who have good history here. It is likely that the box will be a medium flat rate sized box.

Here’s how it works:


- You get the box in the mail.



- Sample the teas that interest you. 


- If you have unflavored teas that you can add to the box please do, but also please do not feel obligated to replace the exact amount that you took.


- 
Send it on to the next person with delivery confirmation. Please PM both Marzipan and the person you are sending to with the delivery confirmation tracking number.

-Try not to keep the box for longer than a week, max two. (This is not a set timeline, however we would like to keep the box moving in a fairly timely and efficient manner). Please keep the thread updated when you receive the box and when you are sending it out.
 If you run short on time you can take small samples out and try them after you have sent the box.

-Follow the people who are before and after you in the list (once the list is up) so you can PM about addresses and such.

-Please make sure to package teas appropriately so that strongly scented teas do not contaminate the other teas, and so that no teas escape and wander the box while in the mail.
 Please replace the box if it becomes damaged.

- If you want to be dropped from the list please let me know.
If something has come up and you want to be reshuffled on the list, let me know right away so I can do that.


- When you get the box, ask the next person on the list for their address. Then check and make sure they’re ready for the box before you send it to make sure nothing has changed.

Please post below if you are interested in participating. Also please acknowledge the following disclaimer: By participating in this box, you acknowledge that you do not have any allergies and will not hold any participant or box creator responsible of any negative reactions from teas in the box. Also, please be aware that cross contamination may occur through the use of this box.
