Any updates on the status of this TTB? :)

Hey! KiwiDelight is waiting for info on the next person. It should be on to the next person soon, no matter who that is. No reply from Canyonlands, not sure about Sboula.

Checking in again. Sboula hasn’t responded :[

Sorry for the wait, everyone….

You can skip to Inkling. If anyone who isn’t in this round of the teabox yet happens to be reading this, I’ll let 2-3 more signups!

Just sent a message.

I will mail the box to Inkling tomorrow. Finally on its way!

What I sampled (one serving):
Serenity Now – DavidsTea
Fengqing Golden Buds – Zen Tea
Yunnan Gongfu Fragrant Black Tea – Teavivre
Van Dyke – Soleil Tea
Chinese Breakfast – Numi
Strawberry Split – Bluebird Tea Co.
Japanese Treasure – Zen Tea
Thai Iced Tea Tea Bag (finished)
French Toast Dian Hong – Liquid Proust (finished)
Yunnan Gold – Adagio (finished)
2005 Changtai “Top of the Clouds” – Crimson Lotus (finished)
Kenyan Chai – 52Teas (finished – There were two 14g packets. I miss this discontinued recipe…)

What I added:
Decaf Vanilla Chai – Stash Tea (3.5oz minus 4 tsp)
Black Tartary Buckwheat Tea Whole Embryo – Teavire (17g)

I’m glad the 52Teas Kenyan Chai I added found a good home. :D

The box is here! Forgot how BIG this one is. I’m going to have a fun couple of weeks trying out lots of new teas. :)

Hey tea-sipper, does the rule about only trying one serving of Zen teas still apply?

Well, since there are a lot of some teas in the box and Zen also isn’t really selling teas for the moment (until they run out with this sale) then you can take more than one serving. A few servings would be fine if you’d still like to leave some for others. :D
