Sure, why not, I'll join in on the fun. :)

I like Wuyi oolongs, roasted TGY, anything aged (unless it's "aged" a la Rishi), Japanese greens, and anything weird or unusual (except larvae-droppings puerh and that nasty cha gao stuff).

I'm not quite sure teawhore would be an appropriate word for it. I would think a teawhore would be one who has sex for tea, or gets paid for something tea/sex related.

Yeah, I know. The primary meanings of 'whore' are fornication/prostitution related, but it can be used to mean a generally unprincipled person, too.

If Mary wants to be a TeaWhore, I say we give her our fullest support!

Right, I've PM'd everyone with their SS buddy. People who haven't given me your contact info...ASAP please!

I think we're going to set the LIMIT at $25. Try not to go above that unless you really, really want to. Also, last year our goal was to have the SS gifts sent so that they could be all be opened as a group (well, theoretically anyway) on 12/25. I think that's a decent goal, so try to make sure your package will reach your person by Christmas day.

Also...do please at least try to keep the element of surprise! No telling who your partner is! :)
