CLOSED: Travelling Tea Box C Round 2
According to my husband, the box is at my home. I am not there, though, but I will be in a couple of days. I’m very excited!
Oh wow. I just opened the box and went through it. It’s PACKED. So many teas to choose from! I’ve picked out a few to sample already. I am going to need a few days to figure out what all I want to try, and what I need to replace it with.
Sorry for the delay, everyone. I plan to get the box back out on Monday. I’ve had so much fun going through it and trying different teas. I think the hardest part will be getting everything back in the box!!
Box is going out in the Morning. I didn’t get out of work until really late today. I had to get that software patch to testing, along with all all of the other stuff I’m supposed to do. I drank tea today, but I don’t even know what I had or what it tasted like. I have a list of what I took from the box and what I replaced it with that I’ll post tomorrow.
The box is on the move again, headed to Shadowfall.

Apparently the box was just dropped off at my parent’s house, so I’ll be picking that up after work today. Yay!
Yay!! You’re going to have fun. It is chock full (at just under 4lbs!) of a huge variety of teas. :)
Holy cats. You weren’t kidding Cheri. My Mom wanted me to open it at her house so she could look and we only dug a little bit into it. But then we couldn’t get everything back in. I don’t know how you managed this. Sheesh. So much awesome, so little space. XD
Sheesh. Seriously, this might take me awhile. I pulled out a big pile of stuff to try and just barely got the stuff I have no interest in back. I know it all came out of this box, but it’s acting like a Tardis. x.x;
Alright. I’m hoping to get this out to Carol by Monday but my work schedule really sucks lately. One of the reasons that I’ve had it this long. I didn’t even realize it’s been over a week since I got it. I’lll post my list of what I tried and added after it’s packed up, which is going to be a challenge. Lol.
So the box is ready to go. I don’t know how, but I got everything back into it. Lol! I do wish it was a normal box, or even just a regular priority box since the flat rate is going to cost almost double what the regular priority rate would. Is it the same case for anyone else?
Here’s the lists of what I tried/added.
Tried:
My Morning Mate (2 tsp)
Soiree d’Hiver (1 tsp)
French Vanilla (1 tsp)
Caramel Pumpkin Marshmallow (1 tsp)
Granny’s Cake (2 tsp)
Milk Caramel Hojicha (1 tsp)
White Ginger Pear (2 tsp)
S’mores Genmaicha (1 tsp)
Organic Dark Oolong (1 tsp)
Black & Blue (1 tsp)
Neptune (Finished this one)
Pumpkin Milkshake 2.0 (Finished this one)
Red Jade (Need to add note still. Also kept the remaining tsp)
Added: (Sorry these are in oz and not tsp.)
Aged Silver Needle (Unknown Merchant) – 1/2 oz
Auspicious Ayame Wulong (Teavana) – 1oz
Karigane #22 (Steepster Select Pack)
Assorted Just Organic Tea samples
I’m debating on doing that since I have a box I can get from work that’s almost perfectly the same size, but plain brown box.
Would anyone be opposed to me doing that? Since more than likely it’ll be the same case for everyone else (cheaper regular priority than flat rate), but if it isn’t they can always switch it to a flat rate box again.
There’s no reason to pay more than you need to. One reason for having the shipping list in geographic order is to reduce shipping cost, but flat rate loses that advantage.
So it’s alright if I switch the box then? The new box is slightly bigger. At least big enough that I can fit the flat rate box inside of it snugly….I’m kinda tempted to just ship it off like that and let the next person decide what to do with it. Lol!
