Progress Thread: Official 2024-25 Winter Traveling Tea Box + Gift Exchange! 🍵📦
Update 6 Nov: The TTB is almost ready to ship out! I need ~1 more week until I can mail it. For everyone who signed up, keep an eye out on your DM's for my message of what place you are in and who you have for the gift exchange - I will be sending these out soon.
Original Post:
This is the progress post & thread for the Official 2024-25 Winter Traveling Tea Box + Gift Exchange! There are 10 participants, including myself. I expect it to take about 3-5* months to complete the loop (we also anticipate delays with holidays, weather, etc.). This post will be a central location to post progress and updates on the TTB.
Directions for when the TTB arrives:
Once you receive the TTB, I'd appreciate if everyone could comment saying you received it and again when you ship it on. Feel free add a picture, or even create a new post to talk about the teas and your gift if you'd like to! We all love seeing how the box evolves throughout its travels.
Enjoy the tea box for 3-5(ish) days. Try some tea. Keep some. Add some. Write something in the little tea journal if you'd like! When you're finished, DM me for the next person's mailing info. Once you send off the TTB and get a tracking number, send it to me and I will also share it with the next person so they know when to expect it. Post updates here and keep everyone in the loop! (Also, I would highly, highly recommend using USPS priority mail boxes for shipping and keep the receipt! This is the cheapest and fastest way to ship, and if you have the receipt it comes with insurance if the box goes missing which can often happen during the holiday season). See instructions on this post for further details on what to do when you get the box. Feel free to comment or message me with any questions!
I hope everyone enjoys the TTB! Happy steeping! 🍵📦

[WTS/WTT][UK] Eight Horses Caddy with Jin Jun Mei Session Packs and Presentation Box
Looking to sell or trade this caddy with pre packjaged Jin Jun Mei (2012). Got given it a while ago but havent had any of the tea or unboxed it fully.
Im open to teaware (Teapots and cups around 120-150ml) or oolong and sheng
FYI the dust on the caddy/box is from the packaging that was in the box to protect the lid. When removing it it went everywhere and kept settling on it... only noticed on posting

Sign-Ups: Official 2024 Fall/Winter Traveling Tea Box + Gift Exchange! 🍵📦
Update Nov 6th: Signups are closed! Keep an eye out for the progress thread soon.
Happy fall everyone! 🍂 It's that time of year again - welcome to the sign-ups for the fall/winter traveling tea box (TTB)! Time has continued to fly and I can't believe its been one year already since the last Fall/Winter TTB.
Personally, this time of year is my favorite to enjoy a cup of tea and i'm excited for this year's box. To share the tea love, this is the official signups for our sub, 's, 2024 Fall/Winter Traveling Tea Box + Gift Exchange! Woohoo! 🍵
For those who don't know: A Traveling Tea Box (TTB) is basically a big box of tea that gets sent around, and you take a few days to sample some, take some to keep, donate some of your own, and then send it on its way to the next person. The gift exchange portion is where you receive a surprise gift from the participant who has the TTB before you, and you include a gift in the TTB for the participant after you!
Here are all the details...
Overview:
- Signup deadline is November 5th, and box to be sent out at the middle of November. (I'll post an update thread after signups once the box is sent out).
- Everyone will be able to keep the box for 4-5 days, depending on the number of entrants. During this time, you can sample some teas, take some teas, and put in some of your own (try and leave as much as you take).
- Keep the amount of tea to fit in a USPS medium or large priority mail shipping box (~$17-25). Keep the USPS receipt until the next person receives the TTB (this is for tracking and insurance purposes, please also send me the tracking number once it is sent).
- Each person is to add their gift exchange item(s) to the tea box before they send it to the next participant. For gifts, price range is $10-15.
- In the signup sheet, I'll have everyone tell me 3-5 things they are interested in, and will share it with the person who has them for the gift exchange. You can also check to see what subreddits they follow, just don't be creepy. If you are unsure of what to get the next participant as a gift, a good default is something unique that is tea or tea ware related.
- There will be a journal included for you to sign and share your experience with what teas you liked, didn't, etc. This is optional, but highly recommended you add a little something!
Rules for Participation:
- You have to fill out the Google sheets survey linked here (and again below) to participate. This is how I will decide the shipping order and organize everything. Also, for this TTB, it will be USA only due to shipping costs and risk of loosing the box in transit.
- When you receive the TTB, send me a pm and I will then share the next persons address. Also let me know when you think you will be able to ship it to the next person.
- I will post a progress thread after signups are over. Please post a comment there once you get the TTB so everyone knows where it is. If you want, post a picture of the gifts you got and the contents of the box!
- Participants must have an account that's at least 3 months old and have a minimum of 600 karma. If this does not apply to you, message me and we can chat with you about alternate ways to qualify.
- Additional sub TTB rules and information found in the sub's official post here!
Things to note:
- I will close the signups if/when 10-12 people signup. This box takes a while some years, so I will be limiting the amount of participants. If the signup sheet is open, you should be good to go!
- There will be expected shipping delays around November & December due to USPS mail volume and folks being busy/traveling for the holidays. Please communicate any shipping delays or travel with me so we can plan accordingly.
- If you are not interested in sending and giving a gift, please do not sign up (I recommend you wait for a spring/summer TTB!). For those who do sign up, please include a gift for the next person, as that part is not "optional." If you have a hard time coming up with something or are confused about how the gift exchange works, please message me!
If you made it this far and you'd like to participate, please fill out this Google Form, send me a PM to make sure I received your google form response, and comment below! Happy steeping! 🍵
Also, if anyone has any tea they'd like to donate to help start the box, please send me a PM. I believe I have enough, but any additions are always appreciated! :)

Yunnan sourcing purple green mark 2016 year of the monkey raw/ripe cake
I’m loving the bittersweet cacao and jasmine aromatics and the somehow velvety astringent dance of the mouthfeel and the mushroom trippy cha qi.
Anybody bored of this and wanna sling me some? 🤑

[WTS] [UK] £25 for 2017 Dayi 7572
This is a repost of an earlier post I made. Despite lots of offers on cakes of this tea, not one single cake sold - all the people interested were in America while I am based in the UK.
So... I still have 7 cakes of 7572 up for grabs. I've decided just to sell them at a loss to get some of my money back from a large and rash purchase.
I am selling them for £25 each. To the best of my knowledge, you can't get them for less than 35 here in the UK, and even then there is still postage from China that adds up costs.
If you are interested in any cakes, pop me a message.
Thanks for your time reading! :)
