Dark Matter 2016 (group buy) Live 3-6-16
update World Tea Podcast contacted me saying that only 2g of the oolong was able to fit in each pack because the leaf is so large… so since that ends up shorting the money, instead of doing the math to figure it all out I will double the gifted weight of the Roasted Laoshan Oolong from Verdant Tea. Hopefully this isn’t an issue for anyone, but I am confident that the value is ultimately on your side and always will be.
Still waiting on the tea from Yunomi, BitterLeaf Tea, and I will order the Whispering Pines four days prior to shipping out because I was told it is in the best storage possible.
Down to three slots :)
This is just so much bang for the buck that it really doesn’t matter. Thanks so much for putting these together. I’ve still got a bunch of samples from your previous efforts, and am always sad when I sip one down (which I am doing right now: the Hou de 90’s Dancong from the aged oolong buy).
Yay! Just the excitement of the anticipation has already paid off for this gift I made to myself, courtesy of this magnificent being called LP of course. Thanks for this bro!

I got so distracted the last little while and now all the spots are gone. Sad day. :(
I actually keep 1 slot on hold and do odds and ends sales for leftover from my slots so feel free to PM me on Etsy about a custom order. It won’t be everything and it’ll take time to do the pricing, but you’ll be good to go for April
I’m mostly only interested in a few brands (since I have some from the other brands from the last group buy). Should I still contact you anyways? Edit: I mostly want to try the oolongs.
Darn, I just saw this. Looked like a great way to try new stuff and learn a lot. Let me know if anyone drops out.
Nobody can drop out anymore because I switched to Etsy. As I said above, I do have a little extra put to the side. I had 50 slots figured and sold 48. I can let you know in April what is possible.
@Tea in Spoons everything or only oolong? Maybe I can split a share between you both :p
I honestly just want the loose leaf stuff because they picture well for my blog format. Ha!
I’ll check out the etsy, and at the very least, stay on the lookout next time.
You need to stay on steepster. LP talks about these for a month or so before they go on sale, and if you see it coming it’s a lot easier to catch it. This one sold out even faster than the last.
As long as people provide positive remarks, Sheng Olympics 2017 might go really really quick :)
How does everyone know about me and beengholes?

Well everyone… you can blame Scott for pushing the shipping date to April 8/9th or thank him: Yunnan Sourcing has sent out a donation to include 5 grams per person of http://yunnansourcing.com/en/liu-an-liu-bao-tian-jian-and-other-hei-cha/3864-2015-gao-jia-shan-ben-se-wu-tian-jian-tea-of-hunan.html and http://yunnansourcing.com/en/liu-an-liu-bao-tian-jian-and-other-hei-cha/3865-2012-gao-jia-shan-wild-tian-jian-in-a-bamboo-basket.html
These will add some more uniqueness to this whole experience and at the cost of $4 an ounce (roughly) they are rather affordable. I haven’t had either one yet so I’m pretty excited :)
So now the additional teas that are donated/gifted make about and ounce o.O
These group buys keep getting better and better… and then better. Hopefully this will help spread the thirst for new types of tea regarding not just more tea but knowledge of the teas that people end up finding out that they enjoy that they would never try without having this kind of opportunity.
Wonderful news! I am so excited to have joined in time for my first group buy. These are teas I would otherwise never even know to sample. Thanks LP and Scott.
