Great Canadian Travelling Tea Box - *Round 4* - Sign ups OPEN

Reki275 – would you please follow me so that we can PM about address etc. Thank you.

I have Reki’s address and I’m hoping to get the box in the mail tomorrow.
Last call if anyone wants anything specific, or style in general.

Also – without meaning to step on any toes, or to do anything that’s not really my place – would anyone object if I tidied up the box a little? I’m not going to toss anything or take anything out – I would just like to move some of the small one or two tsp samples out of the large bags they are in and put them into something smaller.
I would also like to put all the straight teas into large freezer style bags to help prevent cross contamination. Like, leave them in the sample bags they are in but then put all the straight greens into one larger bag and all the straight blacks into a bag, etc.
Would anyone mind if I did this?

For my tastes, this was a great round of the box. I tried a lot of tea that I really enjoyed. Most of what I finished were small one or two cup samples. This is going to be a huge list, and I may edit it a little before I mail the box, but I think this is correct.

I mailed the box off to Reki275. Weight was 1.185 kg, so that was pretty close to how I got it. This was a fun round. Thanks all.

Box has arrived, and it’s bursting full! Wow, I’m very impressed with this organization. Tetris level: pro. Time to start tasting!

Aside from a couple of David’s Tea that I’ll be adding throughout the night, my cupboard is up to date, so feel free to take a look through and request things!

Thank you for allowing me to participate in this box. I feel like I learned a lot, and found a couple new favorites that I didn’t even think I’d like. The box is on it’s way with tracking #, weighing in at 1.185kg, and should be there in about 3 days. Next round I’ll make sure my send out date doesn’t border on a weekend. Thanks again!

My main goal of this box was to try a ton one cup samples (though I did finish some that only had a cup or so left), so I didn’t keep much, but sampled lots!
