Butiki sponsored herbal tea mixing box - on the move!

I am facilitating a box that Butiki is kind enough to sponsor and supply ingredients for. This box is for people who would like to try their hands at blending herbal tea ingredients.

Here is what’s in it:
Anise Star Pods
Cascade Hops
Cilantro Leaf
Cinnamon Chips
Dandelion Leaf
Dried Carrots
Hibiscus
Honeysuckle Flower
Lime Peel
Marshmallow Leaf
Orange Peel
Peppermint
Roasted Barley
Rose Buds
Rosemary Leaf

Please research all herbs/spices/flowers/fruits from a reputable source before consuming, particularly look for medicine interactions and side effects. By participating in this box, you acknowledge that you do not have any allergies and will not hold any participant or box creator responsible of any negative reactions from herbs/spices/flowers/fruits in the box. Also, please be aware that cross contamination may occur through the use of this box.

Important – please acknowledge and agree to the disclaimer above in your response post below.

If you choose to add anything to the box, please limit it to herbs/spices/flowers – no pre-made blends or teas of any kind.

I will take sign ups for a week, but please note that it is not just first come first served. I reserve the right to check activity levels on the site, not to be a tea snob, but because there is a history (even a recent history) of new people signing up, getting excited, and then by the time the tea box is down to their name a couple of months later, they have disappeared (and recently entire boxes have disappeared). So that all people involved get to benefit from their participation, I want to make sure that the people on the list have at least some history of being active on here, and/or “swap cred” in the sticky post, and/or prior participation in a box.

- We’ll need to keep it US, UNLESS there are some people both in the US and whatever other country who are both fine with shipping internationally. Please be sure to use delivery confirmation. The box is 3-4 lbs and 9×9×9.

- Please try to keep the box for no longer than a week, 10 days at the most.

Please respond if you are interested, where you are, and if you have any vacation coming up so I can consider that in the order. Also please indicate if you are willing to ship internationally. -———→>>>>>>>Also you must acknowledge and accept the disclaimer above.

And here is the list! I will be handing the box off to Stephanie tomorrow in person.
Stephanie – IN
Rosebudmelissa – MD
Kaylee – NY
Thelastdodo – CO – ships to Canada
Roswell Strange – SK

I’m not in the US, but if someone is willing to ship to Canada I’m willing to ship back to the US so we can have a Canadian leg. I’m sure there are probably Canadians other than myself with some interest in this box!

And I totes acknowledge all the disclaimers ;)

I can add some organic culinary lavender to the box.

I’m interested! I’m in Maryland, and I drink a lot of herbals, so this is right up my alley. I read and acknowledge the disclaimer.

Thank you so much for hosting this Marzipan! We have many herbs/spices/flowers left. I would have liked to add more variety but ran out of room. If the box ever starts to get empty, I can always ship out more stuff. If possible, I highly recommend having some Chamomile on hand to play around with but our Marshmallow Leaf is also a good base as well as plain or flavored teas.

Thanks for giving us this opportunity Stacy and Marzipan :D

I am interested and acknowledge/agree to the disclaimer. I am not sure if I have the credentials to be selected to participate as I am new to Steepster, but I am an avid tea lover and would not lose interest and will follow the instructions.

Hi Susan, have you participated in any swaps so I could use that as a reference, since you’re really new on here?

Hi Marzipan, Yes, I have participated in tea swaps and host a bi-monthly tea gathering with locals friends/acquaintances. I’m looking to broaden my tea scope and discover other teas and flavorings. Thank you for considering me and please keep me posted.

Before I finalize this list, is anyone willing to ship to Canada?

If no one speaks up, I can!
