Hello Dear Tea Lovers!!!

I think that we need a swap for the really tea lovers where we can find only unique & interesting teas. I love drinking tea and i want to discover new teas, but not plain or normal teas, i want exotic ones, of interesting flavours, of interesting ingredients! It's a very easy swap. Each swapper have 3 partners the rules are:

  • 5 teabags for each partner: 5X3 = 15 teabags only
  • Of course you can include extras!
  • If you have allergies or puntual preferences you must post them in the swap's comments.
  • Please not plain, boring or common brands teas (as lipton...)Please, try to send a good variety. It's a swap for real tea lovers!
  • If your teas haven't got the ingredients in english you must to put a little note describing them!
  • You can send loose tea but perfectly wrapped in a zip bag or similar.
  • Please no newbies with a complete profile and less than 5 mail rates (no email swaps)
  • No swappers under 4.7
  • No recent "no sends" or mentions in the Forum as a Questionable Swappers.

    I will check all the swappers hardly for making a good swap! Let's Swap!!!!

You like your teas, eh! I've just joined 3 you're running, to restock my variety box at work which is down to my last couple left from a tea swap last year - looks like I'm not going to need to eke them out for a while!

I love that you are doing this tea swap. There's nothing more grating than a swapper sending a bunch of tea bags you can purchase at the store yourself:) and on that note I'll say I found a tea parlor in Old Town Pasadena, that rocked my socks. I had a complete afternoon tea and while the sandwiches, scones and even edible pansy flowers were lovely,(see my flickr pg for pic) what I remember most was discovering a new tea flavor. The waitress brought me my first pot of Earl Grey & Jasmine tea. I poured a cup added a splash of half n half, took a sip and almost swooned:)

This'll be fun to do up a tea swap for a partner.

I prefer teas that don't curdle milk i.e., no herbal only teas for me:)

This sounds lovely! I am an avid tea drinker and when I participated in another swap, my partner sent me the best tea! Exotic and flavorful!!! I'm so excited about this. Yay for tea! I'm open to all teas!!

My husband is an even bigger tea addict than I am! This should be fun!

And we live near several international markets, so lots of fun there...

I am struggling to find tea that is individually wrapped. Is it okay if I package the tea myself??

MmeEveLove 01/20/2008 #

I'm a real tea lover. I love any kind of good tea (i also love herbal tea, but i rather receive real tea; green, black, earl grey, white tea, asam Banaspati, oolong, ...) There' a speciality coffee shop over here that sells the best tea ever. And I also have my own tea box over here full of treasure. Can't wait to do the swap.

Wow I just made it in the nick of time! This sounds awesome and I can't wait to find out who my partners are. I love, love, love trying new and exotic teas, the more the merrier. These swaps are helping me share some of my tried and true teas with others while whittling down my stash a bit and getting tea I'd never ever find around here.

Simone 01/31/2008 #

I will be posting my swap today.

Been a hectic week. Glad I am going to make it on time. Started to get worried. Didn't have a car for 2 days.

Managed to find some tea individually packed but I am also wrapping a few bags myself.

This has been an interesting experience.
