That sounds very good, I like a little citrus taste in my tea

If I'm reading this correctly, it looks as if the box will be making the rounds towards the folks who joined the passaround north of the border.

What a great idea this is.

Actually we don't have anyone from Canada right now. Orguz sent me his stuff, and doesn't want the box sent back.. and HeavyDoom says he doesn't want it either. Perhaps one or both of them will change their minds later. So who's next?

So, Tony, it looks like you're next (right, Shogun?). I'm bagging up some samples and they should be on the road by Wednesday. Shall I post here what I'm including, or keep it a mystery?
Pm me your address!

just to make sure.. geekgirl, do you want to be at the beginning, or later on? (since we're both in portland, it might make sense to put you before Tony.)
let me know, I won't have it packed and ready for another day or so....

I'll post the contents later today! my daughter just woke up from her nap, gotta go. :)

probably later, I'm still dealing with the aftermath of the oolong box. :wink:

If I'm last, then it will just cycle back to you, right?

Ok, sounds good, I'll send it to Tony first.
As for it cycling around... yeah, I'd love to get some on its way back around!

I would like to recognize the great generosity of both Orguz and Dizzwave at getting this box off to such a great start. That's a lot of tea in there!

I am in Canada, and I want badly to join, but I understood that the box passes were not for people outside the "contiguous United States"... is this not the case?
