Adagio Custom Tea Blends Decant Circle
Status update: The boxes have landed! The teas are safely at my house. Now I just have to make it through finals so I can go home and decant them! Wish me luck everyone, I'm gonna need it.
Okay guys, it's really happening! Please bear with me, because I've never organized something so big before, and am also approaching finals time in school (hence the need to order soon and have a break before I actually decant them).
Here are the teas:
I tried to include a good variety of different teas, based on the list that you all provided :) I also snuck a few of my own blends in there, because I can :P They'll probably get eliminated though, but I figured I'd give everyone the option. Please do not sign up for any of the full blends. If a blend has a waiting list though, feel free to sign up, and maybe I'll get another cannister of it.

I know the list looks long, but I am going to eliminate blends that do not have all 4 spots filled (probably, unless they have 3 and I decide to put in for a slot). Additionally, if there are any really popular blends, I might consider adding another canister of a blend. Round 1 of sign-ups will close Saturday night, and Sunday I plan to axe any blends without anyone signed up, maybe give blends with only 2 people signed up a chance to fill, and start figuring out totals. I've closed some blends, please DO NOT sign up for any of the blends marked "FULL". Blends with open spots or a waiting list are still fair game though. I will be waiting another day or two to let the stragglers trickle in and then will be figuring out totals.
Each slot is for 1 oz of tea, and costs $2.75. I've decided to ship via priority mail:
Under 1 lb (15 teas) $5.00 +0.03% of the total
Over 15 but under 30 teas/between 1 and 2 lbs ranges between $5.00 - $8.50 +0.03% of the total (please give me your zip code and I'll find out.
Priority mail will allow everyone to track their packages, and should minimize the tea getting squished. Also, boxes are free which cuts down on packing costs and travel time.
Anyone confused? Here's what you do:
1. Comment on this post with the names of the blends you are signing up for. This is a committment to buy all of the blends you list should they all be available. You may want to bookmark this post.
2. Sometime after Saturday, I will comment back with the teas that are going to be bought and your final list. There may still be a few open slots for teas.
3. If you decide to go in for any more teas, let me know ASAP. Once the list of teas you are purchasing is finalized, I will give you your total and my paypal address. Please pay via paypal within 72 hours, and be sure to include your order, LJ name and email address in the paypal comments.
4. Once I have everyone's payments, I will order the teas.
5. Finals time, augh! But then I will pack up and move back home, where lots of delicious teas will be waiting to greet me. They get packaged up and sent out to their new homes.
6. It's tea time!
Unfortunately, due to a number of factors that would serve to make this circle 24748573 times more complicated, I am going to need to limit it to US only.However, do not despair, my international friends. If this circle goes well, I totally intend to hold another, international-friendly circle when I return from Japan in mid-June. So don't think I've forgotten about you! Okay, okay, I'll ship internationally. However, please note the comments I made in miss_isis_uk's thread. I will be as fair as I can, but I won't know the prices for sure until after May 12, and I will also need to cover packaging materials. As long as you're cool with that, I will ship outside of the US.
