I'm so jealous!!! :shock:
Having just joined the Chat last month, I'm not eligible.
Any way to become eligible or somehow get in on this?
(I'm sort of a pu-erh whore). :oops:

Cheers!

Well, so far... the pu-box appears to be dead.

Well, hopefully as Drax mentioned, the box is not dead, If this is the case then you have plenty of time to get an extra 20 or so posts, just sit back with a cuppa and chat it up.

If that's true, it's a shame (but it did have a good run).

I was one of the first five or so to receive the box, and I would have loved to see what was in it the second time around. I would have had a lot more to add this time, that's for sure.

If someone would take the bull by the horns and start it up again, I'm sure it would be even more successful that the first time.

*laugh* well, let's see... el padre mentions on 5 May that he has shipped the box to Polyhymnian Muse... and PM's last post is 11 May.

:shock:

Heh, I'm sure something else is afoot. I will send PM a PM and inquire.

That's sad.

Well, I'm new and would be willing to make a contribution to a new box. Anyone else with me?

I would be more than willing to make a contribution to a new pu box. I'm a noob member, so I never got to participate in the original box pass.

It might be good to start up another box. I've certainly got plenty of contributions.

I never did hear back from Poly... :(

Well, can a moderator help us put something together? What's the official process for this? I know there's no "sponsorship" and it's all "at your own risk," but if we accept that, what's the next step?

If someone was interested in a green/black/flavored tea swap that would be neat too.

Even if it was just mailing off a small envelope to someone.

Hmm...So PM took the box forever?
I would like to get involved with this too if someone decides to take control and get a new box rolling. I would prefer to be towards the middle or bottom of list so I can receive it after my vacation to Taiwan in Jan. By then I will have something more unique to contribute.

I don't think there needs to be any moderator support. The real problem is getting someone with a good collection to start the thing off. I'm not doing it, last time I started a tea swap some one ran off with the box –also, my pu-erh collection isn't that great anyway.

So, we've got some interest in starting another box (I will offer to start one), or we've also got the more intimate swap-group idea disccused over here.

Any preferences? :D
