Herbal TTB Round 2: Sign-ups Closed

Round one was a huge success(and I mean huge! The box came back about twice the size as the one I sent out!), so we are ready for round two. Since the box is so big right now, this round is open to people who just want to sample teas and don’t have anything to add.

- This swap will be for all herbal teas. For those of you sensitive to caffeine, please note that Mate, Gyayusa, and Cocoa contain caffeine and may be included in this box.

-This traveling tea box will be US only, unless we have people interested in shipping to and from any other participating countries.

-Sample as many or as few of the teas as you like. If you like a tea, feel free to keep it. Since the box is so big right now, feel free to take more than you add. If you add to the box, it’s a great idea to take a look at the wish lists of the next few people after you to see if you have anything they’d like to try.

-Follow me and the people who are before and after you in the list so that we can PM each other when needed. Ask for the next person’s address as soon as you get the teabox. This ensures that they are still active and available to participate. If you do not get a response from the person after you on the list within 3 days, move on to the next person, making sure to let me and the person you are skipping know they are being skipped. Let me know if something comes up before the box gets to you and I can shuffle you around in the list – if you are going to be on vacation or out of town when it is your turn to get the box.

-Try not to keep the box for longer than a week or so. Please update the thread when you receive the box and when you are sending it out.

-You will be required to pay for postage when you send the box out. Luckily, tea is pretty light weight, so even with a large box, the cost should be somewhere around $10. If you ever get a shipping quote over $12, you can always opt to move the tea to a medium-sized flat rate box.

- Buying a tracking number is appreciated, but not required (it is included with priority shipping if you use that option). Please send the number to me and the next person on the list.

-Please either send the tea in its original packaging or make sure that it is labeled with the tea name and company. Recommended steeping parameters are also appreciated.

-Please make sure to package teas appropriately so that strongly scented teas do not contaminate the other teas, and so that no teas escape and wander the box while in the mail.

- Please replace the box if it becomes damaged.

- New participants must have some activity and history on Steepster.
