Travelling Tea Box - The Great Canadian Edition (Round 2: December 2013) SIGN UPS CLOSED

I think Canada Post is trying to make up for the previous delays. I just got a message from my partner “I have what appears to be a tea box…" It’s now sitting on the kitchen table waiting for me to get home and dig in. :)

Now I just have to wait for the rest of the day to go by!

So sad I missed this!

Ok the box has been dropped off at the post office and should be on its way to AshleyElizabeth tomorrow! I had an absolute blast with it and it was great to try out so many different teas! I do have to admit that it is still a touch over a kilo in weight but only by 11g! :)

OMG The tea box came, the tea box came!!!

Arrival here stateside in the fine ‘ol state of Maryland. I’m so excited, I don’t even know where to start!

So as long as my town doesn’t get covered in snow again (in the past 24 hours, we’ve received 24 inches, fun times), the box will be traveling to Sil tomorrow! I haven’t packed it up yet, but as long as I can get it stuffed in, the stats are below:

I removed:
Davidstea Super Chocolate
Davidstea Cocoa Canela
Teavana To Life
Butiki Pistachio Ice Cream
Butiki Rhubarb Vanilla Ale
Butiki Maple Pecan Oolong

I finished: Butiki Nutmeg Cream

I know ashleyelizabeth lists Davidstea Creme Brulee but I couldn’t find it in the box, so weird.

Anyway, I’m adding:

Adagio Valentines
Adagio Cream
Adagio Chocolate Chip

Teavana Spiced Apple Cider

Tiesta Tea Flap Jack Oolong

Della Terra Peanut Butter Fudge

Davidstea Mint Julep

Tealux Strawberry Splash Green

The Republic of Teas:
Decaf Blackberry Sage
Comfort and Joy
Acai Green
Caramel Vanilla
Gingerbread

local:
Capital Teas Lemon Chiffon Rooibos
Capital Teas Peppermint Bark

I tried 20 teas from the the box which was insane! Any last requests before I package it up?

Edited
I found some extra room in the box so I looked through the remaining wishlists of the people left on the routing list, and added:

Teavana Berry Basil Blast (Calla)
Davidstea Banana Nut Bread (Variatea)

The tea box is officially on its way to Sil! Weighing in at 2 pounds 7 ounces (1kg 105.63g). I had so much fun with it. Thank you for letting a US-er participate! In case you all were curious, it was $17 USD to ship with tracking, not bad at all.
