Description:

If you like BLACK TEA, and want to taste a variety of brands and types -without emptying your wallet or filling your cupboard with a bunch of odd boxes - this is the swap for you. Here is the format: Buy a box of BLACK TEA bags, something you already like, or perhaps something you've been wanting to try. You will send two of the bags (same brand, right out of the same box) to each of your six partners. And you'll receive two bags each of six other brands to try. By getting two bags of each kind, you'll be able to have two cups, and know if you really like it. To make sure we're all going to get a nice variety, when you purchase your BLACK TEA, note the brand and type in the discussion area below, including whether it's flavored with fruits, if it's organic, etc. Just make sure it does contain BLACK TEA (as lots of items in the tea aisle aren't actually tea, like rooibos or mate.) Let's try to get a nice selection. Newbies are welcome with nicely completed profiles. It's not cool to flake - so cool swappers only, please! I will angel after you've contacted your partner and rated with 1.

I picked up some TAZO Organic Chai at the grocery store this evening...sorry, @sibila I didn't see your post beforehand. Just let me know if I need to get something else!

WanderingHedgehog 03/28/2012 #

daarhon 03/30/2012 #

I'm going to send Easter Cheer tea by Greenfield.

HisuiHaru 03/30/2012 #

So, I join too and will send Meßmer Finest East Frisian Tea.

kiwi2140nz 03/31/2012 #

I have Spring Melody by Greenfield (black tea with thyme and peppermint). I love it.

daarhon 03/31/2012 #

Opps, I have to change it to Barberry Garden by Greenfield. Hope nobody mind, it's fine black tea, too :) But I will for sure send Easter Cheer as extras since it's same postage for 2 and 3 tea bags. @kiwi2140nz I love all teas by Greenfield :) They have airfree wrapping which it good for mailing teas :)

isabellasnow 03/31/2012 #

I'm joining at the last minute so I don't know what I'll be sending, but I will definitely not duplicate what has already been noted. I'm excited to join--black tea is my favorite. This is a wonderful way to get to try many different teas without purchasing them all.

Obstminkerl 04/ 1/2012 #

I'm so sorry, but I have to drop this time :o(

adriana1318 04/ 2/2012 #
