Description:

We had a good turnout for the first swap, so I thought I'd host a round 2.

I love sitting down with a nice cup of tea and a note from a friend. Thus, in this swap you will send each of your 2 partners:

  • 2 tea bags
  • 1 friendly note (card or letter), telling a little about you, your day, etc.

Please look at your partners profiles and make sure you don't send a kind of tea they absolutely hate.

This swap is open to everyone with a well filled out profile. I will check them before assigning partners and reserve the right to ban anyone who I think might flake. Please play nice!

Provided our partner's profile doesn't say they dislike it, could this swap include things like fruit or herbal teas...or is it only for tradional black/green/white teas?

KraftyKaren 07/26/2010 #

Oh, I hope so mwquilt.

sassyreader 07/26/2010 #

I am allergic to ALL fruit :-) thank you :-)

@mwquilt & @KraftyKaren - yes, of course, this swap includes ALL teas; fruit, herbal, green, white, black, red, etc.

can newbies join too? (I think my profile is well filled out, but I want to make sure)

ArtyBeth3 07/27/2010 #

@MyraTrenchpike yes, you can play; your profile is fine and you have a few swaps completed.

What a wonderful way to get to make new friends. I love getting mail and sitting down to read it with a nice cup of tea. I hope I can participate as I am a newbie.

@jillystuff2010 you are welcome to join my swap.

will the teas be just the cheap store bought tea or should it be nice tea that is wrapped? The reason that I ask is the last tea swap I was in I got tea from a tea shop and it was sealed in foil packages and I got Lipton tea back. It does not say so I thought I ask.

@auntjudy I wouldn't say all store bought tea is cheap. Most of the tea I drink comes from a grocery store. I agree with you though, that Lipton, is kind of "generic tea," quality-wise. Personally, I don't drink it. Of all the tea swaps I've joined here, I've never received any Lipton tea. I'm sorry that you did. You know, before I get myself into trouble here, there are probably a few people out there who like Lipton tea.

In any case, I'm not going to edit this swap this late with the sign-up date so close. Hopefully if you join, your partner will send you tea that you like.

Me? I've received so many wonderful store bought teas from people all over the world. One person sent me some loose tea, foil wrapped and I liked it so much, I've now ordered a tin of it from the tea shop in Texas, USA.

I hope everyone has fun with this swap, and gets tea that they love!!

Hello from Australia :) I am a newbie so I hope it is ok that I have joined :) I am a huge tea fan and what better then a cuppa and a nice letter to read :) x

LittleSnuggleMonkey 08/ 2/2010 #

Also just wanted to add I have no likes or dislikes for tea as I am willing to give any tea ago ( I am a huge tea fan so always trying new stuff) :)

Very excited for this swap, yay!

To my partner (if you're reading this!): I'm currently off caffeine, so anything caffeine-free would be awesome, but if you can't find any please don't worry about it - I'll just save it for when I'm back on the juice ;)

ArtyBeth3 08/ 3/2010 #

onecellinthesea 08/ 6/2010 #

I love tea swaps! :)

p.s. @LittleSnuggleMonkey - I've seen in other swaps that Australian customs are quite strict with what they allow into the country, I really hope they let in your tea! :/

LittleSnuggleMonkey 08/10/2010 #

Dustandthings thanks for your concern I am sure it shall be fine - I have never had a problem before but we shall see I guess :)
