The box landed today. I have already taken out little bits of quite a few things which I will list below and all of 2 things which had small samples. There is a lot of tea in here. It is up to all y’all whether or not I put more back in on top of what I sent to get it started. I have some different things from what I originally sent and I am trying quite a few things. I am happy to do it either way y’all want, just let me know. I will send the box back out this weekend when I get Tea Junkie’s info.

I took the following:

2011 Xiaguan Cloud Plum (4 grams)
1989 Butiki Suncha (5 gr)
2013 Feitai 7572 Ripe (3 gr)
1980s Ying Ming Hao Tea Classico (5 gr which was all of it)
1998 Yiwu (dry) White2 (5 gr)
2005 Haiwan Raw Spring Tips (4 gr roughly half)
2006 Big Leaf Shen Yang Ji Verdant (6 gr)
2005 CNNP Nannuo (5.5 gr which was all of it)
2012 Canyan Gufeng Yiwu White2 (3 gr)

I’m probably going to add some things. I will keep it reasonable because there is so much here.

Nooo kidding!! I got overwhelmed just trying to look through it!

Glad you put in the 2009 Cha Tou Sheng Yun by YS, I have that and didn’t think to put any in, and that is an excellent choice for the box. One of the more amazing teas, I’ve grown to love Lao Cha Tou tea nuggets lately.

It was sitting here on the table and I decided it would be a good addition. I like it a lot.

Dr Jim said

Wow. That has to be some sort of record turn-around for a TTB. I just read your comments above and was going to suggest that you count your initial contribution against whatever you took. It looks like you did to at least some extent, which may help get the weight back under control.

I guess it is a good sort of human nature that the size of these boxes seems to grow. Steepsterites (or maybe just tea drinkers in general) are just good people!

MzPriss said

Yeah I’m pretty sure I ultimately put in more than I took out and it looks like everyone else did too. The box is like 12″×12″×4″ and it is FULL.

“under melted” puerh by Jalam….hahaha!!! Silly autocorrect!

Lol, I hate autocorrect. It’s supposed to be “unfermented”. I’m guessing you already knew that. Lol
