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. :)
OK, the box is off to Evol Ving Ness. Here’s the scoop:
I sampled:
- #93 Feng Ming – Bellocq
- Pomme – Hediard
- Peche et Thyme – Fauchon
- Oolberry – Liquid Proust Teas
- This Keemun is BS (Blackberry Sage) – Liquid Proust Teas
- Fake Mead – Liquid Proust Teas
I removed:
- Autumn Harvest 2014 Laoshan Green – Verdant
- Jiangxi High Mountain Organic Bi Luo Chun – YS
- Yellow Buds – Mandala (I took some, but not all)
- Supreme Organic Fujian High Mountain Arbor Bohea Wild Chinese Black – Streetshop88
- Peach Dream – Cuppa’T Specialty Teas
I added:
- Caramel au Beurre Sale Oolong – Dammann Freres
- Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire – 52 Teas
- Eggnog Chai – 52Teas
- 2015 Pin – White2Tea
- Hummingbird Spring 2013 Jing Mai Raw Puer – Bitterleaf Teas
Sounds good. I hope you enjoyed the box.
And for those who are curious, here’s the post talking about the whole thing: http://booksandtea.ca/2016/02/the-great-canadian-travelling-tea-box/
Great post! Good blog too!
Thank you. It was gone (for me anyway).
So! The box has landed.
Mad busy here these days, but hope to get on this as soon as possible.
If anyone after me has any requests or particular preferences, please speak now.
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?
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.
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.
