Thanks so much for putting this together, Pyroxy, and letting me join in. This was the first TTB I signed up for, and I definitely found some great ones in this box.

And with that the TTTTB is on its way back to Pyroxy. I had so much fun with this one. I think the smaller size actually helped make it manageable and a little less overwhelming. I don’t know what Pyroxy’s plans are here for a second round, but if it does go around again, I’m definitely interested.
You guys have been awesome with this one and I’m really excited to get it back!
Once I get the box back it might be a while before it makes it out for Round 2 – since I have to get through a summer semester of Physics first – but I’ll post a new topic when it’s ready to make the trip again.
The box has landed! It’s grown almost double while it was away – so I’ll likely make it smaller again for Rd 2 – and I’m really excited to poke through it and see how it’s changed while it was gone. :D
After going through the box I’m pleasantly surprised to find that all but two of my original samples have moved on to new homes – though there was no love for Shieldmaiden, I see – and I’m really, really psyched to try out all the new teas. I’ll be tagging my notes as TTTTB if anyone wants to follow along. :)
Round 2 is up and open: http://steepster.com/discuss/8089-teeny-tiny-ttb-rd2-north-america-signups-open
See you there. :D
