Discovery TTB

Good evening! With all the spammers and then getting preggo twice I stopped participating on Steepster but I miss the TTBs and want to start one myself!

Rules n stuff
- US and Canada only
- Sample what you want and however much you want but please be mindful of those who come after you. Add in tea if need be
- If you won’t be around to receive the box switch with someone else
- Try to stick to a week and no longer with keeping it
- If the box is damaged please replace it
- You will have to pay for shipping so if that’s an issue it’s probably best to not join
- You must have some history on Steepster, even if it isn’t recent like me. Or show me that you are active elsewhere in the tea world.
- Stinky tea? Like a lapsang? Make sure to package it properly. Like tin foil etc. Otherwise it will ruin the other tea.
- All tea should at least have: name, type, and company. Steeping parameters are nice but not necessary as everyone brews and steeps differently
(We can add on other rules, so let me know if I forgot anything)

Here is our list so far:

Canada
Togo
Arby
Roswell Strange

Then back to the US
US
Tea-sipper
Mastress Alita
Inkling

Sure, I miss the Here’s Hoping teaboxes I ran, so I would love to join yours if I can mail it within the US. I remember you were in at least one round of the HH teabox. :D

Omgosh!! I remember those boxes! Arg I really wish there was a way to get rid of all the spammers so that we could build up the community again.

Add some sort of a captcha to registration to slow down the bots? I have no idea what that entails tho.

I’m interested in participating, but I’m only able to ship within the USA.

It’s been a while since I did a TTB – I’d totally be interested. Like Arby, I’m also located in Canada but as long as there’s someone willing to ship to Canada I can absolutely ship back to the US!

Still interested! I’m surprised more haven’t signed up though.

I’m still around, just a bit brain-foggy after coming out of a six-day long migraine. I’m still up for it.
