Swap with me?

All gone, thanks!

-3/4 full Republic of Tea tin full of Teavana “Japanese wild cherry”-
to:Meghann M

it is a mild green tea with hints of cherry, slightly vegetal/grassy
I just don’t love it, it’s too subtle for me

-52 teas 1/2 bag of cinnamon raisin toast-
to:Lena
-52 teas 1/2 bag of Apple Pie a la mode-
to:lena

-52teas 1/2 bag Raspberry Cream Cheese Danish Honeybush-
to: Nik Harper

looking to swap one or all of the above for multiple other flavors or one other flavor of tea i have never tried before (preference to blacks and reds and mate – green, white, oolong and puerh are OK) bagged or loose don’t matter to me

you can also check my cupboard, i could be talked out of some of those if you have something on my shopping list.

AmazonV – I just got in the simple leaf’s Dawn I’ll trade you for some 52 Teas Pina Colada Honeybush (I’ve been dying to try)? If you are interested let me know how much you’d like to trade.

let me check if there is enough to be worthwhile (like 4 tsp) for a swap – i’m sending a 1/2 bag to Lena i a bulk trade – but i don’t remember if i had a 3/4 bag or just a 1/2 – i can also toss in some Florence (just got delivered) i know you liked that but not sure if you liked it enough you want some more

i’d be very interested in the Art of Tea Vanilla Berry Rooibos , TeaGschwendner Strawberry Pepper Rooibos, and Art of Tea Velvet Tea

I can send those your way. There’s roughly 1 oz of each left after I sampled 2 teaspoons of each. I hope you like them better than I. The velvet tea is quite complex, vanilla berry was just to similar to other rooibos I have.

great, i’ll keep a couple scoops to try overloading the leaves per Cofftea’s suggestion but the rest will be on their way monday – yea cupboard space (however temporary)

sounds good, i’ll send those out to you on Monday! I’ve had to expand to a 2nd shelf in the cupboard. I better get to drinking some teas!

@AmazonV, have you tried steeping your flavored greens more concentrated? I like my flavored greens in a ratio of 4g of leaf:4-6oz water @ 160F for 1.5min. That may solve “too light” problems in the future.

AmazonV said 2010-03-20 15:39:36 -0400

i’ll keep a few scoops and give that a try thanks for the suggestion, i’m always hesitant to over leaf as sometimes it goes very very wrong (like mud)
