I was just thinking about that - and since this box - but not the same contents, of course - has been going awhile. Maybe a drawing or contest for the final box contents?

Got the box today, but no photos until later, since it's really dark and cloudy here in Southern California.

You get your wish.

The Weather Channel, late this afternoon: Heavy rain and mudslides are possible early Wednesday in Southern California from the Santa Barbara area to the mountains east of Los Angeles. Up to 6 inches of rain are possible in the mountains around Santa Barbara and up to 4 inches are possible east of Los Angeles. Landslides are most likely in burn areas from the last couple of years.

So this is what's left, excluding stuff that I will be sampling/finishing off:

*Jinxuan* I'm adding this
*Jinxuan, Maitre_Tea Roast* I'm adding this
*FLT Oriental Beauty* I'm adding this
Anxi Oolong Select
TW Royal Supreme Oolong
Fine Ti Kuan Yin Oolong
Iron Goddess of Mercy
Dong Ding
Ali Shan
Zhangshu Lake Oolong
Premium Oolong
Jing Xuan Ming Cha
Supreme Fujian Oolong
Five Sweetheart Oolong
White Tip Oolong
Phoenix White Leaf Oolong
Wuyi Dan Cong
Pouchong (Baozhong)
Super Ginseng Oolong
Orange Blossom Oolong
Formosa Nut Oolong
Oolong #18

Pretty impressive, with close to 30 different teas still going strong. Typed up an worksheet so people have a clearer idea of what's in the box and stuff. There was some yancha in there that wasn't enough for one session...so I combined them all :shock: Wonder what it's going to taste like... :roll:

Any plans for a new box? I'd love to get in on this. I have many "odd and ends" samples/savings from teas I have already enjoyed and would love to share them.

No plans for a new box at this time. But we'll see where we are after the next few participants.

Still waiting for a reply from Garrett, how long should I wait until he gets bumped?

I haven't seen him on, he won't get bumped far, so let's move forward.

I'm starting a pu box soon, but just got some great oolong to add to the next go-around of this box. Please add me to the waiting list for the next box.

But if so I'll add you.

After you, we ask Shogun89 if he is ready.

We are really winding down now. As I have stated, take you time and take what you want.

I am considering some type of contest for the box contents - or if we should keep it going.
