Everything in there is fair game except the brown gaiwan, and that I'll ship to whoever wants it at the end of the box pass, just want to keep a gaiwan in there for people who don't have one. The black Yixing I threw in there has already found a good home I hear.... ;)

Is the one that was in the box the one you put in there (aka is it already spoken for) or are you referring to a different one? lol

There was another YiXing in the box, a black one. It now lives in my house. I use it everyday, it already acquired some interesting patina. Love it!

I tried the brown YiXing too, it brewed a very nice TKY for me. You will not regret it, PolyhymnianMuse. Go for it! :D

I'm glad to hear that Russsian Soul, because my heart leapt for a moment when I thought it was still available. I wasn't sure I would use it very often, but I had a hard time letting it go.

I didn't use it either - but it sure was cute!

So far I tried some wuyi in it that was just out of this world. Its very nice.

Since chip seems to want to try it out, maybe I could possibly have it at the end of the pass than? :P

I'm happy you're happy!
:lol:

I suggest making up little samples of the ones you want to try, that way you can enjoy them at your leisure - (considering there are so many) for months to come!
Ha!
