Very interested in reviewing organic teas!! I’m open to any kind of free samples in exchange for some steepster reviews or your website, whichever will help more:) if you could follow me, I’d be happy to PM you with more info.

Thanks to you both – samples will be sent out tomorrow. Did you get a chance to check out our Kickstarter? We’d be grateful if you could share the link on your FB or other social media.

Would also be very interested in sampling an reviewing :)

If you’re interested in reviewing, follow me, and I’ll follow back. Then you can send your address for shipping. @Darky – I am willing to send free samples to Europe, but you would need to pay for the shipping. That would run around $10. Let me know if you are still interested.

I’m a writer as well, and I get a lot of samples every day. Usually a box or two, depending on the company and the week.

So while I’m at a loss to help you with specific tea companies, what I would suggest is this:

- Talk to a few PR companies, let them know what you do and specialize in, give them a link to your site, and you’ll start getting regular pitches in no time to try teas, books, and related paraphernalia.

- While it’s far from actual tea, if you also review books, NetGalley is an amazing resource for bloggers and reviewers.

- I have a system now if I want a sample of something from a company. I send an email to their PR department or info at so-and-so, and let them know who I am, basic readership numbers (I can only share really broad things due to contractual issues, however with lesser known blogs, this is really important), some social media links, and so forth. I then ask for whatever specific thing I’d like, and leave it at that. 75% of the time I get a reply within a day with an offer to send me whatever.

- Although there are few things I can do with this professionally, I do occasionally swap with other professionals in my field. I’d think tea would be a bit easier considering how big some sample sizes are.

- I have a huge cupboard, and am more than willing to help out if you need samples of harder-to-get stuff that I have lots of.

Oh, and Get a Reporter/HARO is excellent when you’re working on a series of something, say Valentine’s Day tea gift ideas or something.
