The tea box has landed.

We’ve now come full circle since I sent the box out on 2 August. I’m going to take a couple of weeks to sample the teas before sending the box out. (I’m also going to do a bit of pruning: several teas managed to complete the circuit and return to me; they have been removed. I’ve also noticed some duplicates that I will combine.)

I would like everyone to consider where we should go next. We now have two boxes making the rounds of only 10 people. This seems excessive to me and I plan to drop out of the other box in the circuit. Others may want to follow my lead. To me, the ideal would be some people going with one box, some with the other, and perhaps some staying with both. There have also been people asking about joining the group, and I would like to let at least some new members to join. If people drop out, that makes it easier to take on new people, but even if we all stay, we should be able to fit in a few more people. Also, I think it would be a good idea to change the order in which the box moves so we don’t always follow the same person.

These are my thoughts, but I’d like to hear what others think. In a couple of weeks, I’ll want to start a list of people involved in the second circuit of the box. I won’t automatically re-enter people, so if you want to stay with the box, let me know.

I would like to drop out of both boxes.

I would like to be added to the list of potential members if that’s possible. I tried to PM you, but I couldn’t because you’re not following me.

I would like to stay for one, I don’t have a preference. I can go with which ever one needs more people I guess

Dr Jim said

Why don’t you stay with the other box? It will balance me, since I’m staying here but dropping the other.

Emilie said

Works for me!

We’ve completed the first circuit of this box, and several members have dropped out, making room for new members. Please follow me and add a note to the thread if you are interested in joining.
