2025 Traveling Tea Box

Rules:
Please keep the TTB no longer than a week or two.

Please don’t include tea that’s super old.

I don’t mind thick plastic bags, but please no regular Ziploc bags.

Please label the teas and keep everything neat and tidy. Write what you add and take out in the notebook.

Please put in at least as much tea as you removed.

If you’re interested, please leave a comment including what state you live in so I can make a shipping order that has the shortest shipping time between locations. Also mention if there’s a time of year where you’ll be less available and if you’re willing to ship internationally.

Let me know if you have any questions!

I aim to ship this out around the end of February! I’m happy to add other people in later if anyone else is interested!

Shipping order:
Inkling WI
Kaylee NY
TeaLover8 FL
Kelmishka MD
Arby Canada
Skysamurai MN
Dustin CA
Amanda CA
Michelle TX/IL/WY
AJRimmer NM

As it approaches your turn, please communicate with the people before and after you in line to coordinate shipping.

Please post in this thread when you receive the box and when you ship it out again.

I look forward to seeing everyone’s notes! Have fun!

I’m in! I live in NY, won’t be able to go through the box in a timely manner between April 12-20 and the last two weeks of November. I’d prefer not to ship internationally.

I’m interested! Located in Wisconsin and would prefer not to ship internationally. I’ll be out of town the first week of April and last week of May. Thanks for organizing this! :)

I have some tea I can donate to the box. PM me an address to send it to?
I’d love to participate in the TTB as well. I’m in CA and prefer domestic shipping only.

Like Dustin I have some tea to donate to the box. I’ll be in TX or IL or WY, and would like to go last since I might not be able to participate if I’m traveling too much. Prefer not to ship internationally.

I’d like to participate! I got some new teas last year I haven’t even opened yet that would be good additions to the box. I also stocked up on good sealable foil bags so I’m all set. In Canada but will ship to US.

I’ll ship the box out around the end of this week! I edited the original post to include the shipping order and a few additional things. If we need to make changes to the order, just let me know!

I shipped the TTB to Inkling today! It ended up being around 7 pounds and around 60 different teas! Thanks so much to Dustin and Michelle for their generous contributions!

I also wanted to mention that I use Pirate Ship to print my postage, and it costs under $13 to mail the box when you sort by cheapest option. Postage is expensive these days, so I figured I’d pass on the recommendation!

Glad to pitch in! Thanks for putting this together.

I appreciate the shipping tip! I’ve noticed shipping rates creeping up the past few years and am always looking for better prices!
