Great Canadian Tea Box Round 5! Sign ups CLOSED
Hi I’d totally be interested in this! I know I don’t have much activity on steepster because I tend to lurk, but I have participated in /r/teaexchange before and have the teacup flair (I’m a bit more active on reddit). Let me know if it’s still possible for me to join :)
Hi Sir Turtle. We would like to see you a bit more active on steepster. Your last note if from quite a while ago.
Where are you located?
Okay I will put effort into posting on a more ongoing basis. I’m located in BC
Hi all,
I am just getting things planned for getting the box sent out. I was thinking to start off in Sask, then send to Jillian in BC then off to Ontario.
Does anyone have a problem with this route?
Does anyone have a specific request or requirement to where they are placed in the order?
whatever makes your life easiest for all the hardwork you do coordinating this all the time :)
Sounds good. I should probably be slotted in after Jillian then, because I’m also in BC.
Ok so tentative list is
Lala Sk
To Roswell Strange Sk
To Jillian BC
To Sir Turtle BC (tentative) and Shezza, depending on location
To the Ontario group (depending on location – Sil, Christina)
Back to Tigress Al in Sk
Liz has decided to not participate in this round.
The box will be sent out shortly, I am expecting to receive samples from LP next week.
Alrighty. So today I received an amazing amount of samples from Liquid Proust. Very generous! I will have to take more of our stuff out of the box but I think this will refresh the box a bit.
I am going to get the box ready to go out sometime this weekend. Please watch your inboxes cuz I will be sending a few PMs.
OK everyone!! The tea is going to be on its way today to Tigress Al.
Please remember to update the little book in the box with what teas you tried and what teas you added. Don’t forget to keep the book in the box when you mail it out.
Please follow the people before and after you to PM about addresses.
Liquid Proust was so generous to provide the box with a generous amount of samples. The purpose of having these teas in the box is so as many people as possible can try these teas. Please give honest reviews. And please be respectful of everyone in the box, so sample away at these teas but please do on hoard them to yourself :)
Last round a vendor asked on participant to remove some teas from the box. If anything like this occurs, the group has decided to make all these decisions as a group. So just post on the thread.
Lastly, watch the thread and your inbox for updates.
Here is the order:
Tigress Al
Sil
Christina
Evol Ving Ness
Shezza
Sir Turtle
Jillian
Roswell Strange

Also just a reminder. We are going to continue with NO David’s tea in the box. So no David’s unless someone specifically request it Thanks!
Nice line-up! Thank you for all of your work in organizing this, Lala. And thank you, Liquid Proust, for your generosity.
Can we know which vendor asked for his/her teas to be removed from the box? And why? ie. does he/she not want his/her teas to ever be included in the TTB?
If you search and read the round 4 thread you will see it all there. I don’t want to post the name here again incase the discussion takes over the thread, which is what happened last time.
Thanks, Lala. I’ve read ALL the Canadian TTB threads and there is no sign of any that conversation. Likely edited or deleted. Also, there is no round 4. Anyway, all good. Nevermind.
I’ll send you a PM. Sometime steepster is weird and doesn’t pull of the threads. Here is the link. Starts on page 7. http://steepster.com/discuss/7579-great-canadian-travelling-tea-box-round-3-sign-ups-closed-june-2014
Oh, and a question. Each of these tea portions is packaged for another person to remove and replace with another tea? Is that correct?
That is to say that if I remove five of these, I will put five of mine in approximately the same amount/value in the box to continue forward, right?
Some teas are packaged one serving, some teas are a full 1 oz, etc. So just take out the tea you want, or a few tsp of the tea you want to try. Then replace the amount u took. So if u take out roughly 5 tsp, add a total of 5 tsp of whatever teas you want. Try not to add more than u take because otherwise the box gets huge and shipping gets expensive. Hope that makes sense :)
