CLOSED: Travelling Tea Box C Round 2

The tea box has arrived!

Here are some of the rather mind-boggling pictures. I felt like I was grabbing tea out of Mary Poppins’ carpet bag!

This is my first tea box, so I tried to be very circumspect. I took out about 44 servings but added about 63, and tried to make sure to add teas of about the same quality.

That said, does anyone have any requests?

Does that mean I’m next?!?! If so I am super excited!

I just heard back from Emilie, so the box will be going to her next.

Sorry, Chuckie. I will make sure to tuck in an envelope of the teas you asked for!

The tea box is on the move! It was $8.90 for 2-day Priority shipping – and that’s with even more tea than before!

Tracking number 9505 5000 1901 3313 0002 74

I received the tea box today! Sorry for the bit of a hold up! Chuckieroy, I’ll try to get it out to you quickly! And there is an envelope in here for you from wheezybee. Get excited!
Unfortunately, I have a bit of a cold, but it seems like everything should still taste the same. I have to go to work tonight, but tomorrow should be full of lovely tea!
