I will pay two slots for @jschergen if he takes all three verdant teas on the show and assess them honestly (one episode, three episodes, whatever).

That would be interesting. Let me know if this is an official two slots when you get your answer!

I’m in. Sounds like a possibly fun time.

Might give your ratings a boost :) This is one of the most-commented posts I can recall in months.

I know I am new here, but I would love to try these teas. If I may, please put me down for two shares.

Update 1, 12/15
50 of 50 slots filled!!! All from Steepsters, including a donation to TeaDB and a gifting to someone one :)

Two cakes from Crimson Lotus Tea have been purchased. Both from the 2015 spring harvest, linked on the original post.

The next purchase will be with Yunnan Sourcing as money comes in because I’m trying to not cave and add a Bang Dong comparison.

I will respond to comments/questions as they come and only update as purchases are made or quotes are in our favor for specific teas I am inquiring about.
12/22 , YS has been purchased thanks for the early payments everyone. I added two unique offerings from YS for everyone to try ontop of the three You Le cakes that we will be trying out next to one another.

wow, did that happen in the last day? I swear it was 35/50 yesterday

Dr Jim bumped it and well… people joined up. I’m shocked just as you are, within 48 hours it went from ‘do I go to Reddit’ to ‘dang, it’s full’

Rasseru said

Haha. Amazing

Just followed everyone and then realized I left duckboogie out… woops, I reduced my number and fixed that :)

duckboogie said

Thank you, LP! I’m still new to all of this and definitely don’t speak up at all, but I’m reading constantly and trying to learn. Thank you again for setting all of this up! :)

Oh of course! The Steepster community is very welcoming. With something this size it is just easy to miss one name or one number. I always have backup plans for when I mess up though. If you’re new to sheng this Will be a wild ride, if not then this will still be a wild ride! Be sure to find some friends and swap, it’s my favorite part about the online tea community. Feel free to message any questions as well.

Thank you again! I’m relatively new to sheng and puer in general, but I’m really looking forward to next year. :D

Oh man. I don’t pay attention to the discussions and miss awesome things like this! I’ve totally learned my lesson. :D

Sil select said

hahahaha same here, was just thinking that today

OMGsrsly said

I’d say Dex had a responsibility to let us know, but… really I should just check this out more often.

Dexter said

Ummm I thought both of you were on strict no buying hiatus and OMGsrsly I thought you had TOO MUCH PU’ERH. Sorry :((

OMGsrsly said

LOL. No worries. You totally saved me $20. ;) If I had known, I would have caved!

ALSO, Dex… I thought you weren’t buying tea either… :D :D

Sil select said

haha we’re all ’not buying tea" :) do not even worry about it. I will love and enjoy all the tasting notes from everyone. Part of the awesomeness of our community!

@Sil @OMGsrsly if you decide within the next week that this is a must in your life please message me. I do have three to my name and I know how to wiggle.

OMGsrsly said

That’s very generous of you, but I’m OK. :) I’ll just end up following more people on here in the hopes of seeing what they think!

Sil select said

i just had a random image of you wiggling in place like a puppy… lol

On your 12/15 update you said “as money comes in”. Does that imply we should be sending you money now?

Payments are due the first week of March, but I am taking money from anyone who PMs me before then which will speed up the ordering process. Just like any other due date, there is always an option to pay early :)

Will do!

I have no idea who just sent me $40… I only have three people that I have messaged information to. I’ll assume it’s someone I’ve dealt with before, but I am unsure who just paid me because I don’t know everyone’s name.

To make it easier, please message me on here because I’m creating labels for everyone ahead of time so everything runs smoothly.
Thanks!

I sent you $46 on the 17th without you messaging your info to me first because we have dealt with each other before. I did put my Steepster name in the PayPal form, and PM’d you here on Steepster (although you did not reply).

If I don’t reply, all is well :)
(That’s actually a horrible way of doing it… but I’m on here a lot)

Anyways, it was an even $40 and I’m not going to post their name on here :P
However, the original post will say paid next to each persons name who I have already received funds from. The should make it easier for everyone :)

I see that now … thanks :)
