2025 Traveling Tea Box
As the tea box nears the end of its journey, let me know your thoughts on if we should send it back around again!
I’ve had a busy week and haven’t had many opportunities to taste test from the box. I’m hoping there isn’t a rush to get the box back in circulation and an extra week or so won’t be an issue, but let me know if I need to speed it up.
Is it possible to join, perhaps in place of a dropout? Or would that be improper? :-)
AJRimmer, Awesome! I am located in the Chicago vicinity. Sending you a Steepster message with details.
The box has arrived back to me! Only a couple of the original teas are in it – everyone did a great job of finishing things! I’ll take out the teas that everyone has already seen and add some fresh ones. If Steepster is still functioning, I’ll plan to start Round 2 around the start of December!
Round 2 has begun! Shipped to TeaEarleGreyHot today! Shipping order is posted, but I can add anyone who wants to join!
Looking forward to the boxes’ arrival early next week! I do have a question about rule #2 (don’t include tea that’s super old). I wouldn’t offload stale tea, but is that meant to decline aged pu’erhs? Is there even any interest in puer, or are y’all tired of that type? Thanks for the guidance. :-)
Puer is totally fine! I’m not personally a fan, but there are probably some puer enjoyers in the group!
AJRimmer, I received Round #2 of the TTB this afternoon, 2nd Dec., 2025. Thanks! I’ll be busy with a friends funeral the rest of the week, but will try to send it out to Arby on Dec. 12th.
@Skysamurai: Thank you, and condolences on your loss as well.
@Arby: You’re next! I need your address, but cannot message you here until you “follow” me. Thank you.
Sorry to hear about your friend! No rush on getting the box back out during the holiday season either! I know things tend to get busier for everyone this time of year.
@Skysamurai and @AJRimmer I believe @Arby is next on the list (page 1 of this topic), and I’ve been trying to contact them for a month, without success. I have made multiple posts here (such as this very thread, as well as to their posting directly), with no reply other than AJR’s suggestion to wait until the holidays are over. Unfortunately, I cannot send a Steepster message to Arby because they have not "follow"ed me, and I have no email or physical address for them. I’ve not seen a post from Arby for a couple of months, so it is possible they are traveling or are ill, and I don’t mean to castigate them. My post here was assuming that you all understood my situation, and was intended to gently let you know that I have been trying to send the box for several weeks. Arby may not even be seeing my posts because I think Steepster only notifies about those who are being followed.
I do have Arby’s address, but I don’t think it is a good idea to share if not agreed beforehand.
@TeaEarleGreyHot Understandable! And no worries. We’ve dealt with this before. Hopefully, Arby is fine. I followed you. Message at your convenience =]
@Skysamurai, I sent you a message!
@Martin Bednář, I agree with you, and appreciate your sensitivity on the matter!
@Arby, Wishing you warm well-wishes.
This morning, Jan. 5, 2026, I sent the TTB (Round 2) along to @Skysamurai, who should receive it before the weekend. Hoping everyone enjoys it!
Hi everyone! I was locked out of my account for a long time but have managed a work around because my old laptop is still logged in apparently.Very sorry for the trouble I have caused.
Welcome back Arby! So glad you are fine and regained access! Hopefully you are able to clear the lockout on your other device(s).
