315 Replies

Hi all,

Just wanted to let you know that I got the box from Sil yesterday. (Sil, thanks for dropping it off! I hope it wasn’t too much trouble.)

I still need to go through the box, but I hope to have it for only a week or so.

In case it wasn’t clear the stuff NOT in the box were your samples of stuff. Just for you lol

Hi all,

I’m almost done with the box and have just asked Evol Ving Ness to confirm her address.

For those further down the queue, check my cupboard and let me know what teas you’d like me to add.

I’d like to try pleine lune, caramel au beurre salé, and the 2015 pin if you’ve got any to spare

I’d love to try Plein Lune (Mariage Freres) and Eggnog Chai & Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire (52Teas)

I’ll see what I can add. The box is still super full, and I want to make sure it doesn’t burst. :)

Just bumping so the thread doesn’t get lost.

Is there an update on the box Evol?

Bumping as well..has the box been lost?

Lala said

Hey Sir Turtle, I don’t think the box has been lost, just temporarily paused somewhere. I am working on getting a hold of Evol Ving Ness. The box may or may not have been sent to Shezza, she has not yet received it to my knowledge anyway. Keep checking here for updates.

Sil select said

If the box does end up being lost, i can pull together a net new one with enough variety to make it worthwhile for the folks who haven’t received anything.
