Tea swap # 7

Swap Coordinator:Taina (contact)
Swap categories: Food 
Number of people in swap:76

Type:None
Last day to signup/drop:March 10, 2007
Date items must be sent by:March 20, 2007
Number of swap partners:3
Description:

This swap is international and for swapping teabags. We did this first time in September and now it´s already time for signing up in March´s swap :) (Oh my, time goes so fast!!)

Everyone sends at least 6 different teabags (not teaboxes) to 3 different partners and receives the same amount of teabags. This shouldn´t be too expensive for people like me, who just can´t afford sending tea mugs abroad, but would like to try new tea flavours :) Try to find some local teas if possible, so the partners receive something they haven´t tried before!

I will ban people, who have ratings under 4, sorry! There has been some participants, who didn´t send their teas at all and this is so unfair for the others. Please DO NOT sign up if you are not going to send anything!!

If you have any problems, feel free to contact me :)

Anyway, happy swapping to everyone :)

NOTE -> If you´re sending teabags to Australia, they should be in sealed teabags and the list of ingredients must be mentioned in the bag!

Please if possible I'd like to recieve teabags wrapped in a individual paperbag .( not the bag out of a box or lose tea ) My daughter collects the teabag packages from all over the world and I.... well I drink the teas :o)) Thanks !

Dieuwertje 03/ 3/2007 #

Hi Girls,

First i like to say pleas put a little note together with the tea in the envelope. I realy like to read those little notes.

Then i have a question for my to be partners. I realy like the yellow lipton tea's with biscotti, hazelnut, orange and chocolate and the cookies and cream flavours. I cannot get them here. So please send me one of those if you can. When not its also ok because i like to taste new flavours.

Greetings, Dieuwertje

(PS: I'm in to a private swap to get those flavours. I can send german and dutch tea's)

niecedenise 03/ 3/2007 #

I live in Kansas City Missouri and Ive not seen any of those flavors. They sound good to me. I think ill email Lipton to see what area they are available.

mwquilt 03/ 4/2007 #

May I ask please? What is the definition of "tea" for this swap...can it include "teabags" of herbal/spice tea that is not actual traditional tea ( for example the Yogi brand spice infusion) thanks a lot

Taina 03/ 4/2007 #

You can also send herbal and spice teas in this swap :) Also loose teas are ok, if you send at least 6 any flavours of them and pack them well!

mwquilt 03/ 4/2007 #

Thanks for explaining that, Taikuri. Not decided yet whether to join in, as I am trying to finish some other stuff first. I'll sign up if I can.

niecedenise 03/ 4/2007 #

mwquilt-- please join us. Ive done the past 4 teabag swaps and it is the easiest thing. The first time I did it i sent all 3 partners the same six teabags, the box i bought had 3 bags of each of the six in the assortment. And Ive gotten some wonderful teas from all over the world, Germany,Israel, England, Austrailia, and lots from the US.

fancygraphics 03/ 6/2007 #

HI Guys, I don't drink caffeine, could you please send herbal or decaf teas if you get me as a partner, thanks!.... Jane (fancygraphics)

arcticgirl64 03/ 9/2007 #

I love to rec all kind of tea. The bags I rec which is not already in my collection, will be drunk. Thanks.

pinkkitten82 03/ 9/2007 #

This swap sounds like so much fun! I drink tea instead of coffee so its nice to have a variety of flavors. Strawberry tea is my favorite but hard to find a good one.

YS 03/ 9/2007 #

A small suggestion to add: can just wrap the teabags with small ziplock bags before putting them into envelope to prevent moisture? Country like mine is having raining season now hehe =)

Taina 03/ 9/2007 #

-YS-, that´s a good suggestion :) If the teabags are made from paper, it´s important to wrap them in plastic bag! But if the teabags are already made from plastic (nowadays that kind of bags are getting more and more popular in Finland), then it´s not compulsory, but recommended :)

I´m happy to see so many people taking part in this swap, I hope you all have fun and receive lovely and great teas!

brokeneyeball 03/ 9/2007 #

is sending the bags that come inside the boxes okay? those arent each in individual paperbags, unless i get someone who spicifically asks for the paperbags, like Lamazon did?

I have some plain bagged ones, that are reealy yummy! and i would send info on what the teas are called and what they contain.

just wondering if it'd be okay..

lauraj78 03/ 9/2007 #

I'm in again, I really enjoyed the 2 previous tea swaps :)

swapperk 03/ 9/2007 #

Hi, I enjoy this swap...but don't care for Camomile or strong teas, I really enjoy the fruit ones!

niecedenise 03/ 9/2007 #

I dont mind if they arent individually wrapped as long as you tell me the name. I dont have any allergies or preferences. Also i have done the last 4 tea swaps(54)teabags and have not gotten even 1 duplicate! I think that amazing since theyve come from all over the world.

brokeneyeball 03/ 9/2007 #

yay! ive joined:D

Taina 03/10/2007 #

Nimzay, welcome to this tea swap :) It´s ok to send that kind of teabags you explained as long as you tell the ingredients.

niecedenise 03/11/2007 #

lamazon,Kristin and colors and shapes, your teas are in the mail from Kansas City Missouri.

niecedenise 03/11/2007 #

Cheekywabbit56, Didnt get you this time either. Well have to try again!

Inga 03/11/2007 #

@NieceDenise I thought it was a surprise from whom we receive teas.. :)

girlontherocks 03/11/2007 #

I would be happy with anything I receive, but I thought I would let my partners know that I like black and green teas best. Though I would love to try any fruit or local teas that you think are good!

maozed 03/11/2007 #

Just to double check, we are sending 6 teabags to each partner (for a total of 18 teabags), right? Oh, and if my partners are interested, my favorite teas tend to be black teas, but I'm also interested in trying more green teas as well. The only things I really can't stand in teas are licorice and spearmint.

abbehope 03/11/2007 #

I just have to let my partners know that I'm allergic to citrus (like lemon, orange etc) so if you send those types of tea they'll have to be for my boyfriend, I can only smell them :(

Taina 03/12/2007 #

Maozed, you´re suppose to send at least 6 teabags to 3 partners, so it makes at least 18 teabags total :) I usually send 8 teabags to everyone just to surprise my partners a little, but 6 teabags is enough too.

Happy swapping!

raydance 03/12/2007 #

Just to let my partners know I'm up for almost anything, although I'd prefer not to get Chinese tea. (Oolong, Iron Buddha, etc) =) Thanks! XD

user6220 03/12/2007 #

Just a quick not to my swap partners. The only types I don't care for is Earl Grey or Licorice. I prefer bagged tea.

Chinita 03/12/2007 #

I really like this swap-I've gotten so many different teas -most that I've never seen before or tasted.

Off they go tomorrow.

mapps 03/12/2007 #

Taina 03/20/2007 #

PLEASE READ THIS!

Handmadehearts deleted her account and asked me yesterday to drop her from this swap. Her message came too late, because I can´t drop anyone from this swap when it has already started on 10th of March! So I must apologize to those people, who have her as a swap partner :( If she was your swap partner and you didn´t send tea to her, please contact me, so I´ll give you another address to send the teas to :)

I hope everything turns out well and I´m again sorry for all this!

lauraj78 03/20/2007 #

Thanks for my teas, Placebo. I appreciate the selection, there wwere some I've never tried before ;)

lauraj78 03/20/2007 #

user6452 03/24/2007 #

Hi!

I received teas from Cecelia in MA (she didn't tell me her swapbot name, so it may be different.) Thanks so much for the tasty teas! I'd send you a personal email or message on the swapbot system if I knew how to reach you, but I'm hoping you'll see my thanks if I post it here. I really enjoyed the tea, and was even kind enough to share a bag with my son. LOL Thanks again!

And to the gals I sent teas to, (Jessie, Nela, and Murmel) I apologize for not thinking to include my email addy. I'll get the hang of this soon, I promise!
