A little late to the party as I’ve been away on vacation, but hope I can be in this round.

You were already on the list based on your comment on the previous thread.

I’d be happy to provide some teas for the TTB. If you could follow me Dr. Jim, I’ll be able to send you a PM.

Dr Jim said

Done. You may want to check out the “negative review” by Whispering Pines above. We’ll try to do better this time.

No problem. I hadn’t spotted their comment, but in the end I’m happy for people to get to drink some of these teas.

Should I limit my samples to puerh, or can I include some Liu Bao too?

Dr Jim said

Only puerh. We had a discussion at the end of round 2 and most people thought a pure box was the way to go (we’re mostly pu-heads).

Sure… I’m sure we can find a few puerhs to include

Looking forward to this! But can the link to the previous round be added to the main post again?

Dr Jim said

Done.

I’m just now seeing.. the rules mention no flavored teas, so that means no flavored pu-erh at all? (Rose, caramel, rice?)

Or like the Verdant blends that use pu-erh as a base?

Dr Jim said

None at all. In the last two rounds some flavored teas were added but people just didn’t take them. I wound up taking them out of the box just to lighten the box. I’m thinking of making some of them a kind of free package for the newbies (which of course fails to lighten the box) that wouldn’t count against the amount of tea they have to replace. There would be a few other teas that I started the box with but had leftovers after 2 rounds. Nothing wrong with the teas; just unpopular.

yssah said

yay teas for newbies!!!

Dr Jim – I’ve thought about it and I suppose I’ll have to drop out of the tea box this round. If I can’t add flavored pu-erh, there are really only a few I’d be able to share. Thanks for considering me though!

Dr Jim said

I’m sorry to be so strict, but as I said, no one was taking any flavored teas. Let me know if your circumstances change before the cycle ends, and I can put you in near the end.

Are we going to have a running list of what’s in the box like last time?

Dr Jim said

Yes. I will post an updated list to start and then ask everyone to post an add/delete list when they have the box (but not a complete inventory)
