The box cost the same amount to ship as it was marked when I received it, so I am guessing my sampling/adding ratio was pretty good. I apologize for drinking 2 cups of the sweet coconut island by Zen teas because I am a naughty lady who had forgotten that I was only supposed to sample 1 cup of it! I’m sorry!

Thanks again to Tea-Sipper for organizing this TTB! :)

It made it! I couldn’t figure out what I had ordered that was delivered on my porch yesterday because it was such a big box!

Apologetic update:

I did not get the box out Saturday as originally thought. I put an offer on a house late last week and didn’t fully realize what happened if they accepted, which they did. New goal: Get it out after work tomorrow. Sorry to all!

The TTB arrived today and it is MASSIVE! Sorting everything into big Ziplocks by type was such a genius idea…the pile of teas would be a bit overwhelming otherwise. Can’t wait to dig in this afternoon!

Thought I posted this, whoops!
