Puerh Travelling Tea Box - On its way!
Just going to throw this out there… Jim is awesome for doing this so I am going to dedicate a few hundred dollars to put some 90’s and early 00’s in the next round if he decides to put together another one.
You can take a picture of this and hold me to it :)
Thanks for the kudos, but don’t go crazy. IMHO the box is pretty good as-is. There are already quite a few gems. It isn’t so much deciding to do it again as deciding not to stop. As long as people sign up, there’s no reason not to keep it going.
Hey everyone! I’m finishing up the box now; theres quite a lot of damn good tea. I’ll have it out monday or wednesday at the latest.
Remember that you can always bag up some samples to drink later. Many people think it’s better to let the tea rest for a week (some say a month) after it travels.
I just assumed that’s what everybody did, lol. I still have a bunch from the last TTB I haven’t had yet.
Yes. My confusion; I thought I was replying to the beginner’s box. You guys are all old hands at this.
Same address as last time :) Lmk if you wanted to trade via the box again lol
The box is set and ready to be shipped in the morning.

I didn’t take too much overall, since I only had a few good unique ones to add. Too many new cakes in the stash that needed airing out still.
Everyone: Please remember to post reviews, especially of the Essence of Tea and Misty Peaks teas. These companies are supporting the box in part because of the exposure they get on Steepster via reviews. Thanks.
