2018 Sheng Olympiad Questions ; edit *sponsors?*
Thanks for the responses everyone!
With the room to go up to $50 I doubled the White2Tea order so everyone gets twice that exclusive ‘stuff’ :p
I’ve figured cost of tea, materials (poly bags, bubble wrap, aluminum ziplocks, gallon zip bags, shipping label paper), and now I’m trying to figure out what I give myself and if anyone is helping (last time I just paid in tea)
Everything is actually coming together quite nicely. I think I will end up using a crayon to mark the tails of the dry stored balls; I don’t trust myself with the inks and stuff!
2. 50$ is good
3. 12g is def enough most enough prob have small enough gaiwans.
4. I’m mega excited for this, for the balls you could just put a check or a scratch with a pen or something as long as it doesn’t have a sent, or store in 2 different bags with a note inside.
I don’t have an opinion on 8 I trust in your judgment for what is best haha
Do you know when the olympiad will be released.
So… I didn’t think I was going to do this again, but I may open up the possibility for a few sponsor slots like I did last year for cash flow. Last year I sent a pretty nice size box to each person with full cake/s and goodies. If I do it this year it would probably be older collected raw puerh that I’ve been working with on my site but not anything I would put up there.
If this is possible, would anyone be interested? Last year it was $100 and I’m unsure how to figure this and all… but it would probably be some older stuff that I’m passing up as of right now but wouldn’t have to… I’m good at juggling money for cash flow and all, but I would like to have some thoughts on those who did it last year if it was worth it or not (regardless of the reason behind it, but the outcome is important as well)
Okay so I thought through it a bit more… and this is how I do this in case anyone is curious; I ask myself the question, if this opportunity was presented to me would I buy into it?
Well, to be honest it would take reputation of providing solid service since what is going on here in pretty unknown from the ‘sponser’ until the box arrives… and even if I’m bias, I have great stuff lined up for this box.
I’m going to see if the interest grows to at least 9 spots (I can take one myself and be happy). The cost will be $150 and I will admit upfront that this will be aged sheng from different collectors that I’ve built relationships with over the past few years through the Pubertea madness.
With that being said, I have a few different routes I’m looking at between 90s Dayi ($700+ a cake) to be split between everyone plus a full ‘something’ or going the route I did last year and getting quite a bit of hidden gems like the full LBZ cake everyone got :P
Anyways, I stand behind what I do with confidence but I am going to make sure the interest is there first!
I spent way too much last month on tea and tea related items, so this month I have to back off. Having said that, if you can wait until October for the $150.00 count me in.
You are all awesome! Looks like this is a go. I have a few openings and will send out messages next weekend.
I need to run the math… But I was just offered a crazy deal so I’m going to shoot for October with this but if anyone is ready now please message me.
I will write up a message to everyone this weekend so let me know if you’re even interested.
I’ll stop updating now, I know how annoying it gets when someone does this… too much going on!
If you’re short on the 10 you need, I’m in.
However if somebody else wants the spot, that’s fine. I’ve spent waaay too much on tea recently.
@sqt I will be able to accommodate 14 people so just let me know if you want to or not :P no pressure.
Definitely want in and $50 seems very reasonable. You are sharing high-quality tea and doing a lot of work!
I know I’m kind of an unknown quantity here (I don’t really post on the forums, although I have reviewed some stuff), but I’d be interested in getting in at the $50 level, at least. If need be, I could potentially hit the sponsor level, though, like sqt, I’m a little tapped out on the tea funds and probably shouldn’t.
Don’t stretch yourself! It’s okay! In December I will post the link for everyone to join in : )
So the official sign up is in December? Are the sponsor slots filled already?
Well, I would like to participate. If a sponsor slot comes up I will take that or one of the regular ones is fine too!
