Round 2: Liquid Proust's Experimental Tea Box Sale
I’d like to also try something a little different.
I will fill a small USPS flat rate box with the teas you select. The cost will $5.50 (shipping) plus whatever you deem is acceptable for the selection that you have made.
This will be the last experimental sale that I will host this year
I can’t say how my first experimental sale went since it should be determined by those who bought from me. The first sale was because I had a lot of tea and I was curious how people would approach such an opportunity. This time I am just trying to alleviate some stress on my limited funds in regards to the start up of Liquid Proust Teas. One of the first steps I took was to buy tea from all over and see how certain blends tasted to know what I might plan as I rub my hands together scheming.
If you are curious as to what it is going toward it would be: filing fee for LLC, inkjet printer supplies, Tightvac containers, and that thing called tea : )
The concept is the same, choose the teas and determine your price. You can pay me a penny if you want, just as long as you pay for shipping I will be happy to send you out a nice assortment of teas.

I would describe myself as laid back and generous. Tea is a passion, hobby, and way of life for me. Hopefully I can help you try new cups to explore the world of tea as well.
Also, while I don’t need to say it, sorry for blowing up Steepster everyone.
Still really interested in the summer kiss and flower power from esp, even if I don’t fill a box, would you mind adding some to my sampler? I leave the rest up to your discretion!
A box is going to be filled… and I believe you’re picking it up so that means even more because the 2015 Chinese teas won’t fight for space!
You might want to give me some guidance to what you dislike so I can avoid whatever those teas might be.
If you want to throw more into my box, go for it. I’ll just make sure I send you more. I just want to avoid anything with red rooibos.
Will take the Charcoal Black Tie Guan Yin and the Dragon Pearls, all of it if you want. Follow me to send message with the bill and PayPal addy.
The Lapsang is okay too, I prefer darker teas as opposed to really green (getting old, easier on the stomach).
I thought this was a stash sale and it isn’t. I would prefer a refund on the shipping money I paid so far.
With your permission I’d like to send a sampler of the dragon pearls though (no charge)- I still have your information but I’d feel wrong to do so without permission.
Is that the entire cake from Royal Tea Bay?
I have the entire cake unbroken and unwrapped, but I do want some of it. I’ll probably keep 50g of it.
Adding
http://postimg.org/image/m2audj63b – 2ounces
Just picked it up at a world store in Japan. It’s a black tea, but I haven’t opened it yet.
&
http://steepster.com/teas/rakuten/63000-gyokyuro-buds – 1ounce
I would be interested in sample amounts of
War of 1812 Commemorative
Figgy Pudding
Strawberry Genmaicha
Matcha Genmaicha
2014 Assam Classic
if you still have them. If not, I love flavored and unflavored blacks, I like flavored greens, like to try new things and hate almost all rooibos
Woohoo, this makes me happy! My Capital Teas holiday gift set is unopened and now I have a reason to open it :)
I will go ahead and put all these + more together.
I have two 2014 assams:
Assam classic second flush (blend) and Zaloni second flush (single estate)
I’ll include both of these assams
I have so many teas not even listed on here… but they are all ready to find new homes :p

I’m new to this, so please let me know if I forget something (for example I don’t know the protocol for sharing my address or for paying).
This looks like a lot of fun. The mystery is calling to me, so I’d love to try the Tie Guan Yin and Taiwanese Dong Ding Oolong by “Random Chinese Companies” and of course the “No idea Puerh bought at the top of a tower in Tokyo”. I really don’t have a good notion of size and weight here. If there’s room after an ounce of those I’d like to try an ounce of the Lupicia Happiness. If there’s still room, I’d gladly take samples of whatever strikes your fancy. On the other hand if I just asked for more tea than is reasonable I’ll gladly double down on the boxes, pay for a bigger box, or just take whatever amount you think is reasonable, whatever is convenient for you.
Welcome to Steepster!
First thing to know is that people have to follow one another on here to private message. I personally believe Paypal is the best method of payment besides handing cash in person. I prefer that an address is attached in the Paypal payment in the comment section so when I go to ship it I can easily go to Paypal and have no issue. I will go ahead and pack the teas you like and then throw together many samples :)
Do you only like non flavored teas or are you okay with flavors?
Also, roasted vs floral because I still have some nice black tieguanyin!
Go ahead and follow me here and we can discuss.
Lastly, feel free to wait until one of the two newer members here provide feedback on this specific deal that I’m running if you’d like.
I actually have plenty of black dragon pearls, red tea, and gold yunnan tea now… I haven’t learned how to stop spending money :/
I agree, but I went overboard and bought 8ounces of dragon pearls, six ounces of golden yunnan tea, and just 3 ounces of red tea. If these were daily drank by me I’d be fine, but I have 140ish samples to go through right now :/
