Great Canadian Tea Box Round 5! Sign ups CLOSED

Not cool :(. I had just sent her a bunch of tea too. Oh well.
I can send some tea to you Sil for the box if you want

@tigress – i think i have enough variety to make the box interesting for those coming after if that’s what the group decides we should do :) (appreciate the offer)

That’s so sad :(

If you guys are starting up a new box and need some help to jump start it, just let me know. As a fellow Canadian I would be more than happy to make a nice donation :)

That is sad news indeed :(
Hopefully there is some kind of reasonable explanation for the disappearance of Evol Ving Ness along with the box, and they will return soon.

As one of the people later in the list I am fine either way with waiting longer for Evol or starting a new box. Thank you to Bitterleaf for the donation offer :)

…maybe this person died.. sorry, but maybe.

nycoma- no one really knows what happened. I am not intending to pass judgement onto Evol or anyone. We all hope nothing bad happened in RL. There has been no activity here on steepster or other social media as far as I can tell. So something has happened. I think all we can say is the box is missing and we have not been able to get a hold of Evol.

I’m not Evol’s friend on Facebook, but I can check their Facebook profile and see that there have been posts made within the last day.

I don’t mind waiting longer for Evol if that’s what other people want to do, but I would like there to be a set time where afterwards we can move forward, because I just checked her Facebook too, and there has been activity on her profile throughout this. Whatever has happened, I feel like if it were something that could be resolved quickly, she would have messaged someone by now.

edit: I’m not Facebook friends with her either, but like Christina I can see her profile.

can someone msg her on facebook with a friend request?

Looking back on my earlier post, it sounds kinda snarky and I didn’t intend it that way. Sorry about that. I hope she is ok

Sign ups are closed for this round. Thank you for your interest though. I am guessing in a few months we will be starting a new round.

Not to my knowledge

I’ll just work on pulling a box together this weekend. Not fair to everyone in the wings waiting. No David’s tea, promise :)

I have a guest this weekend, but I think i can set aside time sunday to do this. Shezza, you want to hit me with your address and I’ll repost here once i’ve had a chance to pull something decent together for the rest of our teabox friends :)

Thanks Sil. If the original box does show up we can figure out how to send the two boxes around.

My offer to help jumpstart a new CDN box still stands. Just point me in right direction and a sample or 2 will arrive!

@Bitterleaf: Thanks again for the generosity! Send a message to Sil as she’s putting together a new box :)

No problem, there’ll be some teas on their way shortly :)

I’ll wait until i get bitterleafs selections to send out the box but will update when i DO send it out. I have shezza’s address and will build a box this week :)

Just sent off some teas to Sil this morning. Hopefully it doesn’t keep you guys waiting too long!

I tried to keep it a varied in case anyone really just doesn’t like a certain type of tea, but included these:

@bitterleaf – looks good!

wow! thanks for the contribution!

Maybe Shezza could combine the boxes when she gets them? Not sure which option would be cheaper for postage..

I’m open to whatever option makes sense. Given how full the box was when i had it, suspect combining is out of the question. :)

Good point.. I guess it’ll have to be a TTB Canon! If we aren’t combining them it would be nice if they were spaced a week or two apart to give enough time with each one

it’ll be that way anyway i think as i’m waiting for teas from overseas, so that’s nice

Sil, you could also reverse the list of participants so your box ends up traveling the other way.

I’m good with whatever we want to do. I’ll poke the thread again once i have teas from Bitterleaf

They sent me some tea. It took around two weeks to get to me. I’m in AB.

i just need to go pick up the tea from the post office, but otherwise it’s here and i can send the box out this weekend if we figure out what we want to do as a group. :)

I am so looking forward to trying the Taiwan Ruby if it’s still there when it comes my way!

wooohoo!

This is awesome timing! I’ll actually be done exams before diving in!
