The rules are similar to previous TTBs. Last time I limited the amount of puerh that could be replaced with non-puerh tea, but it seemed unnecessary, so there are no restrictions.
1. Please follow everyone on the list. It will make it easier to coordinate changes.
2. Take as much of each tea as you want and replace it with an equal amount of tea. Please try to add where you bought the tea. Don’t put more than about 1 oz of any one tea in the box. You don’t need a lot of variety; we get that by having a lot of people on the list. Adding only 2 or 3 teas is OK as long as the weight is the same. Try to maintain the quality level as well.
3. NO FLAVORED TEAS (other than flavored puerh)
4. Please post your additions plus any teas that you finished off to this topic, so others can track the contents.
5. Try to send the box on to the next person within a week to ten days. PM them for their address when you receive the box. You can get their address in advance, but please don’t skip this step. Boxes have gone missing due to summer vacation, moves, etc. You can always take samples to drink later. Try to write reviews; it lets us all participate vicariously.
6. Try to wrap the teas well. There’s been a lot of discussion about packing for TTBs elsewhere on Steepster, and the consensus is that thin baggies don’t seal well enough. Heavier gauge ziplock seems okay but the consensus is that foil is best.
7. There are separate large bags to separate shou from sheng. There is also a separate bag for non-puerh tea.
8. Mail via 2nd-day mail and get a tracking number. In general, a single-rate box is NOT the best option. However, for trips of more than about 700 miles, it might be. Please replace the box if it’s getting beaten up.
9. When you mail the box, PM me and the person you are sending it to with the tracking number. Also post to the thread the fact that the box has been mailed, along with a list of what you’ve added and what you tried. Mention if you took the last sample.
Sorry for all the small print. I will post again when I send out the box.

Hahah always last xD
You’re in NY, I’m in MA. It was either send it straight back to you or else let the contents change for a few months. Maybe if you’re real nice I’ll let you see PTTB-5 first.
The tea box arrived yesterday! I was just getting home from a trip and didn’t have time to get into it much, so I’m diving in today and it’s great fun! :D
Well I recieved some foil seal bags, some sheng, and a more accurate scale in the mail all this week so I’m all prepared.
I probably need to look into some better packaging materials myself. Where did you get your foil bags if I may ask?
If you just google foil ziplock you’ll find a ton. Amazon has a bunch. I also threw in a half-dozen of the 4 mil poly bags that I use just in case someone needed them.
I got them from an Amazon link from one of the other posts here. Can’t see to find it on my mobile right now, but it shouldn’t be too hard to find.
