Should be at auggy's house. Haven't heard from her though. Hubby took the box to the P.O. and forgot to add the delivery confirmation.

OMG that was slow. Thanks to my horrific slowness + USPS, that was an awful turnaround. Sorry to the rest of the box pass crew.

Auggy, we've been missing you sooooo much! Don't worry about the large amount of tea ... it's just oolong. Use most of it for a luxurious TeaBath. Fill the tub with warm water and dump about half the contents in. It'll be great!

Hey, Sal! Yeah, I've been MIA - first not fit for company and then sick. But all better now and not nearly as grumpy. So I was planning to visit tomorrow while avoiding work, but the oolong box spurred me on!

So how was the bath? I am currently in possession of the new Puerh Box Pass, so I'm considering all my options.

Chip, sorry, I thought your patent only applied to sencha!

I thought it was on the TeaFridge,

In any case, no one is taking a bath in precious oolong.

A Pu Bath maybe, ewww, no never mind.

So I got the box today...

My exact words upon first opening were simply "Oh my lord..." lol

Thank everyone for all the wonderful teas to sample. I'll be adding a bunch of different oolongs from Teacuppa.

Only one question, not sure if it was brought up at all, but the yixing pot that was in the box... what kind of teas was everyone brewing in it haha just so i know what to use it for.

I didn't use it at all, but if I had to guess, I would say use the yixing for your wuyi and roastier TGY, and the gaiwan for lighter oolongs. :)
