'Samurai' Traveling Tea Box!!!
Tea sipper, one of the teas caught my attention and id love to swap something for the cinnamon apple french toast if you have any left?
Hey! Welcome to steepster. At this point, cinnamon apple french toast is on the older side and I really only like swapping fresher teas so anyone is actually tasting the tea that they should be tasting. But I definitely would suggest ordering some over on svtea.com. I’m guessing you will love this blend and would love to have more that a sample anyway. Simpson and Vail has a ton of lovely teas, I’m usually not disappointed. And we will see what happens with a round two of this teabox.
I am working on my cupboard – I have about 50 teas, but I would love to get involved in the next round of teas traveling. I live in Wilmington, NC, USA.
Mailed to Michelle today (10/29)

That’s sad to hear :( I didn’t even open or try the Hawaiian herbal one and it arrived to me without spilling. Was there any evidence of customs inspection? It is also weird that the mystery tea spilled because it was 100% sealed when I shipped it off (I double checked because I didn’t have a thick baggy to send it in-I ran out). Maybe I should have double bagged it.
The box did have a cut in it, so perhaps not inspected, but definitely went through the ringer. It’s no biggie! Just wanted to be honest with everyone.
Count me in for the next round (if there is one)! I’m in Austin, TX now.
If not, no biggie! There will be other TTBs, I’m sure. :D
P.S. – Edited my first post, it was meant to say “for the next round”. Oops
You guys! I CAN POST!!!!!!! T________T Hallelujah! hahaha good greif how many years has it been? _ yay!
AHHHH! Awesome. haha I’m glad you tried and it’s good to see Steepster is actually improving.
Steepster has been much better for me over the past few days, I don’t know if anyone else has experienced that?
I got the tea box and it’s a bit overwhelming. I’ll do my best to dig through over the next few weeks!
ENJOY! and take your time. It’s sometimes easier to sort the box in big ziplock baggies by tea type, when the teabox gets bigger, if that might help the overwhelm.
Would any of you like to receive a tea advent calender?
I would be interested, Skysamurai, if I had any newer teas to send. All of my teas at the this point are older and I don’t like sharing unfresh teas (though I don’t mind drinking unfresh teas.)
The box is on its way. I had lots of fun sifting through the contents and tasting some yummy tea. Thanks to all who contributed!
