Great Canadian Tea Box Round 5! Sign ups CLOSED
Request for the box two people out west.
If someone has Creamy Earl Grey from Cuppa T and can spare a bit for the box, please pop it in. I’ve been wanting to try it and somehow missed it in box one.
Is there any requests for box#2? Lots of the teas in my cupboard right now are in small quantities but I will do my best! I will likely get it out this weekend to Lala or Roswell Strange
I handed off the box to Lala tonight but really enjoyed having another box! And all the French teas!

Since the box was so “black heavy” as Sil said in her note, I added a bit more variety. I also just looked back on my previous post about the first box and realize that I had also added Jasmine silver needle to that box too. Oops, I guess I like to share some of my favourites!
Sorry, I have typed this a couple of times, and it keeps re-formatting on me so the list is really jumbled.
P.s. Sil— where did you get those foil bags for swaps? Those are way better than my bags
Like Tigress posted above, I received the box yesterday. I am excited to actually participate in a box as normally I am the one organizing and sending it out. Thanks again Sil for starting this one.
One thing i keep meaning to put out there – if anyone falls in love with something from the second box, let me know – i likely have more i can part with. i tried to put enough in there for everyone to sample things but i’ve got oodles left at home.
Before I send the box off there’s a couple of my teas that have been in for a few rounds and I was thinking of just composting them:
Gran’s Spice Cake (Tea Desire)
Mandaringko (Tea Desire)
Winter Wonderland (Blue Teapot)
If anyone wants them, speak now or forever hold your tea. ;)
Hey all,
Just an update on Box 2. Roswell Strange and I will be swapping boxes 1 and 2 once she receives Box 1. Maybe another week and a bit.
Before I send the box off does anyone have requests?
I’d be really interested in trying any of these ones:
Canataloupe – Forsman
Kiwi Cheesecake Oolong – 52Teas
Niagara Icewine – Pluck
And any of the Republic of Tea’s iced collection :)
The first two might be a little old and I’m not sure how good the flavours still are as it’s been a while since I drank either of those. I can taste them for you and send you a pm if you like.
The Niagara Icewine and RoT iced teas I can definitely do though. :)
