…and that’s all of them!
Thank you, guys, I had a great time sampling all of these – you’re brilliant and lovely and I’d swap with you anytime. <3
Sorry for the delay in my reply. Everything has been hectic recently. I received the box back on Christmas Eve and round one is officially completed. I will log the teas acquired from the box in the next day or two.
Since the first round went so well I would like to set up a round two for those that would be interested. Same sort of lay out, I would send the box to the first person on the list and in turn will be the last person to receive it.
The second box will start with all new teas so I will not put any teas I put in from round one into this round two box.
Sign ups are open, will leave it up for a week or two depending on the response. Would like about the same number of people as last time ie not many but as long as you are in EU this is open to you.
I’m up for a round two, but I’ll be traveling a bit – just to give you fair warning.
Thanks again to you, KittyLovesTea, for organizing the whole thing! (And of course to Ang for being the revered i̶n̶v̶e̶n̶t̶o̶r̶ hostess of the first Steepster tea box swap.)
If you can count me in as well Kitty would love to try – though when the box starts please somebody then explain to me well the rules, I have always seen so many posts of these travelling boxes but never paid enough attention.
One request if possible, I would prefer to receive the box in the next 2-3 months, no later than late March please.
Hello cteresa. I’m still loving those tea tins you made for me a while ago :)
The rules for this box are quite simple. Once the box arrives you can have some time to go through it and decide which teas you want to try. You can either try some before taking them (if you are unsure if you will like it) and if it’s not for you then you can leave the rest of the blend in the box. For things you are sure you will like you can feel free to take that tea out for yourself but any teas that you take out of the box you must put an equal amount back in from your own stash. Basically whatever you get out of the box you in turn replace.
Also once you get the box if you could just let us all know it’s arrived safe that will be a great help. I think the final thing to mention is that when you have the box try your best not to take too long with it before sending it to the next person. Of course we understand that life sometimes gets in the way and I’m sure the box will be delayed for some reason.
Finally I would be happy to make you first or second on the list cteresa so you will receive it when you wish. :)
Thanks Kitty, sounds pretty manageable, specially if I can just remove things to sample later! First or second seems fine with me, I would really rather not be too late.
I should point out here that I didn’t invent it. I merely hosted the first one on Steepster. I’d participated in one elsewhere before.
I would also like to do another round, but since we’re moving this week, I would prefer to be one of the last people to get it and have a little time to settle in and unpack and such before dealing with such a lot of tea.
hm im not decided yet. Just ordered a ton of tea so i already have plenty to sample… :)
However it is fun to try other peoples preference in tea. Tea it is very likely i would never order on my own ^^
Hehe well i did lack some nice unflavoured teas. But i would also like to try some really highgrade flavoured tea. teas that uses fruitinfusions and highquality tea as a base.
I REALLY enjoyed that fruit only “tea” from verdant. :)
