Good idea on the W2T ripes. I’m sure there are a lot of folks who’d like to try them. Looks like both you and Rich are in the path of the blizzard.

I got right to work. I’m ready to pass this along now. I finished the following:

2008 Haichao Chenxiang Ripe W2T
2011 Tea Nuggets Mandala
2008 Tea Drunk Ripe Puershop
2006 Organic Menghai Jujubee Ripe Puershop
2002 Gu Fo Aged Ripe Yunnan Sourcing
2003 Purple Peacock Essence of Tea
2015 Huangshan Shu, W2T
Midwest Nice, W2T

I added:

2015 Hekai Gushu, Chawangshop
2004 Lao Banzhang, Puer.sk
2010 Menghai Day Yunding ripe
2007 Yunhe Banzhang King ripe, Puershop
2006 Chunhai Gold Award ripe, Puershop

…. And…

A ripe tangerine from the W2T club…
As well as a Lin Pao sample and a Shou Zu sample from Chawangshop, both of these are close cousins of ripe pu erh.

I broke the rules again and put in a bunch more than I took, but I suspect I’m not the only one! We are a generous lot, us TTB’ers, with lots of tea to share. That’s indeed part of the fun.

Thanks again, Jim, for organizing. It will be back to you shortly.

Dr Jim said

Wow. That’s great. I thought there was one more person to go, but that’s because I didn’t update my spreadsheet when we moved AlanK up nearer the front. I’m excited.

Also everyone look for my other post. I’m really serious about starting a Puerh beginner TTB.

On its way back to you, Jim. Should be there tomorrow I think.

I got the box Friday. As advertised, it is huge. It should be easy to create two boxes going forward: a box for experienced pu-heads, and a beginner box to help people try out puerh.

The bad news is that I’ve been sick for 2 weeks (just diagnosed with pneumonia) and don’t want to do anything to the box for probably a week. At that point I’m supposed to be having cataract surgery, so don’t know how much tea time I’ll have. I think I’ll go ahead and start a new post for PTTB-4 signups.

Grill said

How many of the yqh packs are left?

Dr Jim said

@Grill: I haven’t wanted to get into the box while I might be carrying germs. I’m going to wait a few more days before digging in.

I hope you feel better :) Let us know what’s goin on.

Dr Jim said

@Grill: There are two YQH packs left, but one has my name on it :)
