Okay, so I’m going to update things a bit. I don’t mind shipping internationally so I’ll see if Martin doesn’t mind receiving first. It might also be best to do the international route first since that may take a little longer? And we can always update things as they go along. I don’t think this needs to be set as it can cause anxitey so lets make this kinda open. A list that isn’t static just in case we need to change things up.

How does this look?
Skysamurai – MN
Martin Bednář – Czech Republic
AJRIMMER – NM USA only
Inkling – WI USA only
Dustin – CA USA
Cameron – TX
Michelle – WY
Shae – AL
Tiffany ;) – OH

I’ll be out of town from mid-December to mid-January, so it’s possible I’ll need to be pushed back just a place or two, but I know international shipping may take long enough that it won’t be a problem!

Shae said

Thank you!! I’m good for anytime after advent season and as long as the person(s) after me don’t mind me keeping it a bit longer. Thanks again for including me. :)

Shipping from me is various and can’t tell in the moment. Czech customs are working slow. But for me it doesn’t matter who is the consignee of my package.

Skysamurai said

I’ll just plan to start with Martin no matter what and then we can switch it up and see who’s ready when MArtin is done.

Okay, no problem for me :)
I think I will need two weeks to send though; as I tend to be very busy and tired after work. We will see though.

I just want to let you all know that my package is cleared through customs and soon it should be delivered to me. Hopefully this week, but maybe next one. I think I will keep it for about 2 weeks as I am busy at work nowadays and I just dont want to take teas out, put new ones in and sending back across the ocean.

Ooh just seeing this. Any chance I can still join? I’m in NY. Totally understand if it’s too late.

I will let decide Skysamurai, but IMHO I don’t see why not. I am just the second person who is about to get the box…

Skysamurai said

Yeah. No worries at all! I’ll add you to the list. I figured the list is more of just whose in for now and not an order we are going in that way it can feel more flexible. where are you located?

Kaylee said

Yay, thank you! I’m in NY.

I will pack the TTB and ship it next week (hopefully) to AJRimmer.

Skysamurai said

Sounds good!

It seems that AJRimmer is busy nowadays, so I am running the randomiser now! 1 to 9, based on the list in the first post. And the number is: 4! Michelle! PM to be send in a few minutes!

I am traveling too much to be reliable for a TTB, can you move me to the bottom of the list?

Skysamurai said

Sure no problem.
Is anyone ready right now that would like to receive it?

Inkling said

I’m ready whenever now that the holidays have passed! :)

Okay, message sent :)

I’m so curious about this. Have never done a Travelling Tea Box. What are the rules? How does it work?

Emilie said

Each TTB can have it’s own rules but the general idea is that the first person stuffs a box full of tea and ships it to the next person who tries as much of the teas in the box as they can and keeps the ones they like or want to try and replaces it with an equal amount of their tea. That just keeps going until it gets back to the first person, who should have a completely different box of tea.

Skysamurai said

Exactly what Emilie said but I will add on too just to make sure you read the rules an such as what I put there is more so because I hate seeing tea go to waste because it was ruined by another tea. Just let us know if you do want to join and ill add you on.

It looks like this TTB is still in progress, is there any chance I could squeeze in somewhere?

Skysamurai said

Yup. As long as the TTB is moving we can always add others. I apologize I had covid back in Jan and then we went on vacation (dont worry I was good by then besides my anxiety hitting peak) adding you to the list. Where are you from?

Emilie said

I’m so sorry that you had to deal with covid! I caught it in 2020 and it was miserable. Happy you’re doing better now!

I completely missed your reply but I’m still interested. I’m in Colorado

Skysamurai said

hehe no worries. That’s just how things go with Steepster. Sometimes I’ll be on here a ton and then I forget for a bit >.>

Emilie said

I am absolutely the same! My activity is so sporadic but I pay attention when it counts (like with TTBs lol)
