The new list has not been created yet, but since you where not in the last one, you can be placed in the beginning of the next list.

The Asian market near my office usually has cheap but good gaiwan suitable for making puerh if anyone on the list is just plain in need. But I think they're around 5 oz, which is a little larger than some like for gong fu.

Count me in. I have tons of samples just sitting around. Also a couple tuochas I might drop in the box.

To be honest, it may be about time to consider splitting the box if people are going to keep adding to it.

There's so much more tea in there than anyone can hope to sample, and the shipping charges on it are beginning to rack up a little.

Maybe this weekend I'll youtube a vid of all the tea in the box to illustrate the point.

I think I was one of the first five to receive the box, and I'm thrilled to see how far it's gone.

Great job, everyone.

Well, maybe one way to manage the size is this: if you have already put in something before, then you don't have to do it again when you receive it, and just take stuff out.

Also, maybe for one round, you can institute a rule that you must take at least as much out as you put in. All in the name of size reduction.

I second that... What a testament to how cool a group of people this is. :)
When I was putting tea in the box early on (don't forget, Orguz actually seeded the box and sent it to me), my wife was like, "You really expect this to come around again? From some people in the INTERNET?" lol. I assured her that I had a good feeling about these folks.... These pu-erh forum folks is as good as they come on the internet. :lol:

Yep, that was sort of the idea of the victory lap. Send it around again to the same people, but only take tea out.

That sounds like a good idea too.

Well, It seems that we may need to make some adjustments due to the amount of pu! LOL. Thank you everyone for keeping the box going and being so generous. I'm sure this has helped many people, I know it helped me!!! Lets keep it up, this second pass should be even better!

I wouldn't mind being included in Round 2 either. I have some samples to include that aren't from YS or PS that I'd love to get other people's opinions on.
