Great Canadian Travelling Tea Box Round Six--CLOSED

Thanks, Mookit, for updating the thread.

I’d like to add again that the Liquid Proust teas in the box, as distinct from all our samples, were donated to the Canadian TTB by Liquid Proust Teas with the intention of giving everyone participating in the GCTTB the opportunity to try them all. Which is why they were included and labelled by LP in a separate clear ziplock bag with the LP business cards.

The box has successfully made its way to Shezza :)

Sorry, I’ve been super busy lately. Will try and get the box to a post office after work today. Will update once I’ve sent.

Since I sampled so many/finished off a few, I added many high quality teas and a bunch of unflavoured teas as requested by someone who will be getting the box after me. I may have added a few more than I removed, but I think the weight is similar. The box is absolutely huge/heavy and could probably use a bit of a downsize by the next few people.

I added:
Pink Rose (herbal) – Grand Tea
Peche & Fruit de la Passion (herbal)- S Sens (Quebec company)
Strawberry Rooibos – Granville Island Tea Co.
Greek Mountain Tea (herbal) – Vrino
Anti-Oxidizing Tea (savoury herbal) – Tenzing MoMo & Co
Raspberry Vanilla Rooibos – Granville Island Tea Co.
Wild Orange Blossom (herbal)- Teavana
La Framboise (green) – Palais de Thes
Blueberry Iced Green Tea Powder – Stash
Banana Matcha – Red Leaf
Phoenix Pearl (unflavoured black) – Zen Tea
Tigguanyin Iron Goddess – Zen Tea
Jasmine dragon Pearls – Zen Tea
Darjeeling Margret’s Hope Estate – Zen Tea
Darjeeling Avongrove – Zen Tea
Anxi Oolong Dark – Zen Tea
Gingerbread Chai (black) -52 Teas
Golden Dragon (yellow tea) – Teavana
Lapsang Souchong (black) – Teavana (please keep this one double bagged so the smoke does not contaminate the other teas)

I believe the reserve Mao Xie (Zhong guo ming cha) – Master Zheng Collection (single serve pouch) is the oolong from Verdant I added FYI. Just to keep the lists consistent

Good to know, thanks!
