CLOSED: Caffeine-Free/Decaf Traveling Tea Box (US only) January 2014

I would do an herbal one.

Awesome. I think that’s the direction I’m going for round two.

I would love to be in on an herbal one, if you are accepting new participants. :) I am new to Steepster, and sad that I missed out on the decaf round…it’s all my husband can drink! These boxes look like fun!

I’ve been watching this tea box’s progress, and LOVE this idea! I have been trying to find a bigger variety of herbals since that’s mostly all I drink at home after work and have very few. I love seeing all the teas you guys are passing around!

Alright, I hear you guys. I’ll start up the new sign up list :)

Sign ups are open here :) : http://steepster.com/discuss/7379-herbal-traveling-tea-box-us-only-sign-up-open

That was fast!!

Oh my gosh, its so much! Glad to see the notebook is still along for the ride. I also notice a few things from the original box are still there :P

Any news? I’m getting excited since we’re so near the end! _

Hi! Sorry, I was a bit preoccupied today so I didn’t get a chance to ship it out. Promise it’ll be out tomorrow! :)

That’s OK, I’m just being overly eager at this point. lol

It grew again!!

Really? Is it still a medium flat rate box?

Oh yes. I just have a small cupboard (in comparison with other users anyway) xD

Lol me too. I pretty much cleaned out my stash for this tea box :P

It arrived!?!? Awesome! Someone changed it to an amazon prime box (roughly the size of the larger flat rate box), so I just continued to use that. I believe shipping for me was ~$9. So it was actually cheaper than a flat rate box.

Awesome, I’ll have to remember that for next time. Tea isn’t too heavy after all :P

And it was New York to New York so its nice that I got there so fast. I tried to plan close shipping distances :)

I’m going to try the tulsi tonight. I hope I like it – I’ve never felt bad for a tea before…

I know right? The poor little thing. I promise you, if it comes back to me it will be the first thing in the Herbal Tea box round 2. lol

Please, for the love of all that is good, keep the whole thing. There’s only one more person on the list and the chances are slim. I’m giving you my blessing to not even have to replace it. Just keep it! lol

Yay, it found a home!!!

We all just want what’s best for poor little Tulsi.

oh my goodness I just had a good chuckle :]

Have we hit 5lbs yet?

And the Tulsi, right?

I’ll check in about weight later.

Haha I forgot to type that :)

EDIT The weight came out to 4lbs 7.2oz.

The weight had to go down because the Tulsi was like 8 ounces.

:)

When you say decaf do you mean actual decaf or herbal?

Both. I tend to prefer decaf to herbal but the box is tilted toward herbal.

Interesting. I prefer herbal myself, so don’t feel like you have to save any decaf stuff in there just for me :P

I’m the opposite, I like decaf better than herbal.

I usually use the travelling tea boxes as a tea-tasting rather than a swap, so I probably won’t take very much tea. I’ll sample 20 or 30 teas, then add enough to make up the weight. At most I’ll take some of a few teas.

You’re telling there’s that many types of tea in there?! :o wow

I didn’t count, but my guess would be about 70 or 80. Same thing happened with the box I started. I went with about 30 teas, most of which had one to two ounces, but most people added smaller amounts of many different teas, and seldom took all of a particular type.

Look at this thread: Dignitea and Jeweled thumb added 27 types between them. I currently plan to remove two types and will probably add about 5 or 6. Since I’m sampling so many teas, the weight will work out about even. That’s how the variety grows.

Wow.

You’re close to the top for the next one :)
