2016 Sheng Olympics (group buy)

Tempting… to buy or not to buy 50 of the new Hi Tech balls from Yunnan Sourcing and store them until the 2017 Sheng Olympics.

Wow, what a neat idea! It’s nice to know that they’ve come up with a fun way to not waste all the extra maocha that they have.

Better yet, a possible way to contribute to a retirement fund; though it’s speculation, it’s something that the industry could use :)

Next time I order some tea from YS I’ll get some of them.

I’ll be picking some up. Rolled Puerh is becoming the new “fab” for 2016.

Just went through the tracking information and it looks like some of them will deliver today :)
I’m just as happy as you all are to receive them.
In the case of any issues, please let me know asap.

Got mine — so many different teas; awesome job LP!! Taste buds are a bit dead from a cold — hope to get over it soon so I can start trying these.

Any special plans for comparing notes or just using the Steepster Tasting Notes?

Another perfect reason to leave work early today! I’m looking forward to checking my mail later this afternoon.

Arrived! So many little bags of pu-erh. Thanks again for all the effort putting this together.

Since I have to have a helping hand to package everything at the last stage: For future group buys, I think I need to keep it to no splitting and what not.
The only error thus far was my own with how I labeled the packages to have teas added to them which only caused a delay for two individuals, but this could have been avoided if I packaged everything myself but with 550’ish little aluminum ziplock baggies and a paper to guide me on who was not to have x,y,z, I think I threw my friend and I off.
However, everyone got the correct shares in theirs so that is good and so far there have been no shipping issues.
Keeping myself in check: This is the first sheng olympics and I will learn from anything that can be perceived as an issue. My apologies to the two, who I have messaged, about that mixup.

I want to know where you got those little sample bags from. I could use some of them around here.

Started in on this today. Drank the 2011 Bang Wei Spring from Tea Urchin. This was an incredible tea. End of statement.

I’m not sure if I’ve ever read a comment of yours saying a tea is incredible… now I’m incredibly excited to try this :)
