Description:

This is going to be a little different than other tea swaps. Not only will you be sending your partner tea, you'll also be sending them a special item to go with the teas.

I'm trying to make it so that people who might not be as artistic can participate, and that's why this swap will give you the option of sending a handmade or store bought item.

You should send your partner one of the following hand-made or store-bought items:

Handmade:

  • 2 ATCs

  • 2 Postcards

  • 2 Greeting Cards

  • Combination of two of the above (i.e. one atc & a postcard)

Store bought:

  • Tea bag rest

  • Tea towel

  • Tea infuser

  • Other tea accessory or item

Handmade item requirements include a tea-theme and/or tea ephemera. For example, I save tea wrappers and could use that somehow on the handmade item. You could use teabags to dye papers or just make an item that is somehow related to tea, tea drinking and the like.

Cost of store-bought item should be kept to a minimum. Use your best judgment.

To summarize...everyone will have one partner and will send them:

  • 1 special item (see above)

  • 5 DIFFERENT teas

Make sure you post either below or in your profile about your tea likes/dislikes. Please note: partners do NOT have to follow these guidelines to get a 5 rating. Catering to your likes/dislikes should earn hearts (same with including extra special items). Please also note if you are willing to receive loose tea.

Let me know if you have any questions!

This swap is international! While I always welcome newbies to my swaps, please know that if I feel your profile isn't completed, I will ban you from the swap. Same thing for people with poor ratings or recent no-sends. I have to do this to protect the other swappers. I reserve the right to ban anyone from the swap for any reason.

I love love love these creative tea swaps you are hosting! You rock!

i'm okay with loose or bagged tea! (just please make sure if it is loose that it's marked with the flavor!)

thanks lunaria! I wanted to do something a little different than the traditional tea swaps.

Loose or bagged tea works for me!

I don't mind loose tea as long as it's carefully packaged and marked so I know what flavor/kind it is. I drink all sorts of tea but lately I have gotten SO many bags of herbal tea so if I can make a wish it would be for green, white and/or black tea only. :)

I prefer loose tea, carefully packaged and marked of course, but bagged works as well.

I would rather get tea bags, for more variety. I already have a bunch of different kinds of green tea right now so something diferent would be nice.

Love loose leaf teas-and anything with lemon in it:)

First of all, thank you for accepting a newbie. I only signed up today but am already excited by the whole concept of this site.

I like all sorts of teas, bagged or loose: black, green or white tea, any of these with added stuff (mint, citrus, jasmine, ginger, vanilla, etc), most herbal and fruit teas. I'm not keen on herbal mixtures which include liquorice. Spicy mixtures, e.g. chai, are especially welcome.

I love it all--loose, bags, green, black, white, herbal, caffeinated, decaffeinated, hot, cold . . . . anything! Please list the ingredients if it's loose. I don't have any known allergies, but I want to know what I'm drinking. Also, if it's best prepared in a certain way (like with milk), let me know! Thanks! :o)
