Launch gallery slideshow

Swap Coordinator:Taina (contact)
Swap categories: Food 
Number of people in swap:80
Location:Other
Type:None
Last day to signup/drop:May 10, 2007
Date items must be sent by:May 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 May´s swap :)

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! Teabags are recommended but loose tea is also OK, if it´s packed well.

I will ban people, who have ratings under 4.5, sorry! There has been some participants, who didn´t send their teas at all and this is so unfair for the others and I´m getting a bit tired of cleaning up the mess they make. Please DO NOT sign up if you are not going to send anything!! And remember that it´s NOT possible to cancel your participation after this swap has already started on 10th day.

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!

Heather71 05/ 4/2007 #

Can I just mention that whilst I love drinking tea, I can't drink cammomile or anything with lavender because they give me a migraine.

I would be happy to receive anything else though :)

todsahonchik 05/ 5/2007 #

I would LOVE lavender, but I'm happy with whatever I get! Looking forward to it!!

SharonF 05/ 5/2007 #

I love teas! I love chamomile,lavender,Tazo~ Thanks for the opportunity~ I have a reason for buying teas now!

marieoday 05/ 9/2007 #

I'd love to try anything but the Celestial Seasons brand (all of it) gives me a serious headache because it's so strong.

SnaughtyGirl 05/11/2007 #

Sorry to sound fussy, but please, please, PLEASE no Earl Grey. Thank you.

Mrrranda 05/11/2007 #

My favorite teas are green teas, lapsang souchong, and sweet flavors like hazelnut, maple, and vanilla, but almost everything else is cool too - the only ones I really don't like licorice/anise flavored ones. I'm genuinely excited about all my incoming tea!!

SassyBird 05/11/2007 #

My goodies are in the mail as I will be on holiday next week! Hope my partners enjoy! Cheers, Kimberly

starrycat 05/11/2007 #

imyorehuckleberry, dieuwertje, and gillicious, your teas are out in the mail to you! I hope you like everything!

Dieuwertje- I didn't send you any strawberry teas and I tried to send you lite tea, as you don't like dark.

user7866 05/12/2007 #

Jessie-messie-bo-bessie, cpfaves, and Luna- your teas are on the way! I hope you all enjoy!
I tried to send some unusual blends, teas that you may not have tried before. Good way to try new things without investing in a box, right? ^_^

Dieuwertje, your tea has begun its journey.

lulubird6 05/17/2007 #

ack! I think that I might have bunked up the postage on my envies. I did it with one of those machines at the post office where you can check the weight and buy the postage, but I wasn't sure if it qualified as a envie or a package. Crud! I hope my partners get their tea!

I'll check back with them in a bit and resend if they haven't yet received or it came (gasp!) postage due or something else icky like that.

Dang the post office for raising prices!

ArtsyKira 05/17/2007 #

lulubird - I got my envie today, so you did something right! Thanks for the super interesting teas. I cannot wait to try them!!

frankcheez 05/17/2007 #

I got tea today from a Casey W. from Upland, CA, but it did not have a note in it, or say what the user name is, so I really don't know who it is. If you are Casey W. from Upland, please let me know so I can rate you when the time comes. I love the tea--one of them happens to be my favorite tea in the WORLD! :)

todsahonchik 05/17/2007 #

Jenny White! Thanks for the teas!!! I'm not sure of your swap name or I'd e-mail you!!!

Taina 05/23/2007 #

Hi!

I´m happy to hear that so many of you have received great teas :)

But once again there has been one member, who deleted her account (soy latte). It means that her swap partners can´t give her any ratings or get any ratings from her. I´m once again truly sorry for this :( I always try to check all the members in my swaps and let only good swappers in...But it just doesn´t seem to be enough. If you have any suggestions how I could get rid of those bad swappers, please contact me!

lamazon 05/23/2007 #

nimzay , little kitty , saphire did my envelops arrive ?

Taikuri if you need an angel just tell me ! I'll send a package !

beaglemom 05/23/2007 #

I would be happy to send a package too. I would hate for someone not to get something because of a bad swapper!

SnaughtyGirl 05/24/2007 #

Taikuri - I can send a package if someone needs an angel.

mafarricos 05/24/2007 #

Well i forgot to identify myself with my swap name... So, Kimmie, Jydingo and Nifty if an envelope arrives from Mafra, Portugal, that's me! hope you like it!

Already recieved from Nadine (fabulous teas!) and from Sassy bird, thank you!

mafarricos 05/24/2007 #

where can i see the images that we upload?

lauraj78 05/24/2007 #

Underneath the heading 'Tea swap #9' on this page is 'Launch gallery slideshow' in blue/green text. That's where your pics should be...

Laura :)

Taina 05/25/2007 #

Thank you for all the angels we have here :) I´ll contact you later if those extra packages are needed!

So -> If you don´t receive your teas from this swap, first thing to do is to contact your partner and ask a reason for it. If nothing happens and you still haven´t received your teas, you should give your partner a rating 1. If you can´t give your partner any rating (in the case of soy latte), then please contact me and we can work something out!

user6881 05/25/2007 #

today i recieved a great package from Cecilia (nifty), thank yu for the great teas. i can't wait to try them out!

chaitea 05/25/2007 #

Good call!!!! Have a great weekend!

user3457 05/26/2007 #

Update: I want to apologize to my current swap partners that I am running late. My sister needed to come up immediately to start getting moved in. We've been working around the clock to prep part of the house and I have had no time for anything else...even sleep! I am trying my best to get caught up. I am not going to flake on anyone, but please please please be patient with me. I really am trying the best I can. I'm sorry! I hope the special packages I put together for you will make up for it!

catlover 05/26/2007 #
