So that we know where we stand at the moment, here is what all is still in the box.


There's a thermometer, some small cups and a VERY little bamboo charcoal.


Here are the teas (I will put a * by those teas which still have a decent or significant amount, otherwise assume 1-3 servings left)

Several Adagio offerings:
* Jasmine #5

* Oolong #40
Pouchong
* Wuyi Ensemble
Oolong #18
* Oooh Darjeeling
* Almond Oolong

What are the chances of getting Adagio to make a small "donation" for the next box pass?

I will check on this, thanks for your suggestion.

It is great to see the Oolong Box Pass lives on! Looks like there are already a lot of Adagio oolongs represented.

There is a new box pass in the works as of yesterday, a Signature Blend BP and Adagio has already been solicited for teas for that box. I would not want to see us ask for too much, IMHO.

[Victoria]

Ok thanks for the update Aphro.
I'll get the list finalized in the next day or so.


Chip, you are probably right, there seem to be a few Adagio Oolongs
in there already. We'll save our request for now.
Thanks for your input!

[Chip]

You are welcome, of course.

OK, that sounds like the right thing to do for now. We would not want to overwhelm them with requests.

So I'm guessing now's not the time to ask for an ingenuiTEA for every TeaChat member? I kid, I kid.

I'd be glad to add something to the box... not that I have anything NOW but I would be willing to buy something to share Any requests?

ANNOUNCEMENT!!! - THE OOLONG BOX PASS WILL BE EXTENDED!!!

I am *so* in!

[kymidwife]

I'd love to have another go at the box later, if more goodies get added to it... not sure if I expressed such an interest before, but count me in. I am also willing to contribute some fresh additions to the box to help restock it with fresh stuffs. Will it be returning to you before it starts a new circuit, Victoria?

Will it be returning to you before it starts a new circuit, Victoria?

No, since there seems to be quite a large amount of tea left in the pass box, the powers that be (me & tenuki) have decided the current box should continue!



I will enter your name on the extended list.

I just bought 5oz of oolong #18 to put in the box pass... or however much will fit in the box I suppose, not sure how big the 5oz canister is- I've only bought sample tins so far

Took a really quick reference pic for you bsteele. This is a 4oz (obviously not full anymore) blend tin compared to a quarter.

[bsteele]

ah, wonderful reference pic.

I guess I was just wondering how packed the oolong box already is and see if the canister can fit as it or if I'll need to put it in something smaller. But I'll find all that out when the box comes my way

You should see how much tea I got into the very first pass box....I've got mad tea packing skillz.
