About Me

I'm crazy about trying teas from around the world...so if you're interested to have a private tea swap, please pm!;)


A little more about me: I also love photography, watching movies like Amelie, drinking coffee, trying all sorts of tea, learning languages ( I studied Spanish but have forgotten most of it!), sleeping late, sleep-ins, holidays, weekends, train rides, pastel colors, baking, collecting recipes, running, shopping, laughing, chocolates, eating cakes ...just to name erm a few lol (note: not in any particular order).

Mailing preferences

In terms of mail, I love writing and receiving long letters (writing about life, the small things, stories etc), decorating and receiving pretty envelopes, exchanging tidbits from my life (eg. Postcards, train tickets, my favourite teabags, different currencies, candy, chocolates, stamps, photos I've taken with my Instax...) as well as anything else I think the sender might like. I collect anything and everything....so I honestly appreciate anything given by anyone...I am not someone who is only looking to receive a certain type of thing :)

I'm still a novice when it comes to exchanging stuff through Swap-bot, but rest assured I am one who is a person of her word and will send mail regardless of her lack of artsy skills ;)

My Tea LOVEEE

  • Unique flavours (which are not my dislikes - see below)

  • Any tea with Chocolate! :)

  • Chai

  • Assam Black tea (I love drinking it with milk & biscuits!!!)

  • ALL types of flavoured green tea

  • ALL fruit tisanes/infusions

  • Rooibos (flavoured)

  • I LOVEEEE Apple tea!!!


Please DON'T SEND these teas

I'd rather not receive the following teas:

  • Chamomile

  • Plain green tea

  • Tea containing rum or any other alcohol

  • Crysanthemum

  • Yerba Mate

  • Licorice (I already have HEAPS :P)

  • Ginger

  • Just Coconut (mixed with other flavours is ok)

  • Pu-er

  • Any tea with 'vanilla flavouring'

Thanks:)


Tea Wish List

  • Twinings Mango & Strawberry

  • Twinings Cranberry & Sanguinello Orange

  • Good Earth Cocoa Chai Tea

  • David's Tea Cocoa Chai Rooibos

  • Teekanne Spanische Orange

Hi, I came across your profile and I'd love to set up a private swap with you! If you'd like to receive some Italian teas, just let me know!

Naeco on Apr 24, 2012:

Hey, welcome to Swap-bot! Even though you've been here for a while. and thanks for joining my tea swap! (:

Justene on Jan 9, 2012:

Hi Maryam! Welcome to Swap-Bot! So glad you're here! You are sooo going to LOVE it here! There are so many fun swaps, and this is such an amazing community of fun, talented, and creative people!

Welcome also to the 'I ♥heart♥ Mail Art - January' swap --- thank you for joining my swap! If you have any questions, please feel free to holler! Hope to 'meet you in the mail' often! :)

p.s. it is always a good idea to fill out your profile with as much information as possible. All your likes, favourite colours, crafts, hobbies, wishlists, etc. The more specific info you have, the happier your mailbox will be! It makes it much easier for your swap partner to create/choose items that you suit you perfectly if you have a well filled-out profile. You will notice on most of the swaps that one of the main requirements is to have a well-filled out profile.

Happy Swapping! :)

Justene :)
