Make a box pass page on Wikicha.

Dont forget everyone, to make a few tasting notes of some of your favorites or least favorites here on this page, Thats part of the learning process, seeing how your tastes compare to others.

It weighs in a 1.6 lbs of additional tea (not counting packaging), which about doubles the contents. I wanted to make sure there was plenty for newbies to taste a lot, without feeling they have to add. I estimate there is currently enough tea in the box for over 300 gongfu sessions @ 5 gr each or 600 European sessions at 2.5 gr each.

Guess where it goes last...

I can't wait, my room smells like Puerh (a cake is sitting 2 feet away from my nose!) I'll have puerh dreams tonight.

Heh heh... Well, the precise fate of the box remains to be determined.... I'd love to grab some tea on its way back, but I certainly won't take all of it. Maybe it'll take a victory distribution lap once it's made its way around to everyone the first time.

Yo Dizz,

So envious of all the box passing. Wish I am also residing nearby so that I can participate. BTW, if you guys and gals like, I can send Dizz a chunk of my current favorite tea to join in the fun. Takers?

The "addendum" pack is en route to sunny Florida as we speak.

Shogun- you may want to wait for Sal to add it to the main box.

Yeah I agree, it will be easier that way, and. . . . . more tea!!!!


Then just tell me when it arrives and I'll send the address then.

Hey Seb! Good to hear from you on this list! :) We would love to take you up on that -- I'll send out some of your chunk (on the box's "victory lap"), and I'll send you some good box selections in return.

All, Fatman2 lives in a magical place where raw puerh becomes magically delicious in a very short time, and he has previously sent me some awesome samples to prove it. :) Makes me want to move to Singapore!

edit:
p.s. I met Fatman2 in the LiveJournal pu-erh group a while back. In keeping with the box pass rules, we of course won't send the box to Singapore; and Fatman2's donation can be considered a personal side-deal with me, in which I add more tea to the box on its victory lap, and I send him some of my personal stash (some of which may come out of the box on its victory lap). Let me know if this is a violation of the box pass!
