OFFICIAL PUERH BOX PASS

[Fatman2]

thanks Dave.

Will do that this weekend. Hope you and the rest of the folks will enjoy the tea. If possible, my buddies and I in Singapore will want to exchange a similar tea that has been stored in different parts of the world. Perhaps next year. Was hoping to find willing parties to swap the 07 Mengku MYC 001.

to swap the 07 Mengku MYC 001.

Welcome, Fatman2.

If it would be of any interest, I have some MYC of Yongde stored in a pumidor (@ about 65% RH) in an air conditioned house in Florida.

That sounds like an awesome idea. I have some that I've been storing in my pumidor as well (60-75% RH, it varies a lot ), and would be happy to pitch in when the time comes.

Dizz, You idea is great and is absolutely fine with me.

Hi Sal, that will be great. We can definitely plan a swap come next year. Thanks.

Cool. Perhaps we can plan for early part of next year. Any suggestion on how we can do it?

Thanks Shogun.

Thanks Shogun.

Fatman2, is that a teapot of yours? It looks great. Is there any story or detail about it?

[Dizzwave]

hi box passers. If you receive and are going to try the 2000 Cheng Guang-He Tang that I threw in there, please see the thread I just opened on compression, storage, etc.. basically, flake it to the max! this stuff can be quite yummy if done right.. but it's so dense that it threw me off.

[shogun89]

Sal, I just PMed you with my shipping address.

Is this box still "small and light?" Holy moly that's a lot of tea.

[shogun89]

WWWWWHHHHHOOOOOOHHHHHHOOOOOO!

DARN THATS ALOT OF TEA!!!!

As I dont have alot of varieties of pu to add to the box, I was wondering if anyone here likes mint tea. I just harvested a large crop of organic catnip from my yard and have been experimenting with it, not bad, let me know if anyone is interested. If so I'll make some up fresh the day I send the box out, if not dont worry, my cat loves her drugs!

[edkrueger]

NO!!! Don't put the mint in the box. All of the tea will smell like mint shortly, even if everything is in bags. I've lost some good tea this way once.

I agree. Keep the mint away! A number of people will have little or nothing to add. Don't worry about it. This is largely an intro to puerh for some.
