Free Peruvian tea give away **USA Only

Hey,

So I got this tea grown in Peru, its supposed to be 100% purly grown there. And it tastes pretty bad. Not gonna lie, its sorta like imagining a Yunnan/keemun chinese black with a bit of petrol or some chemical in it.

I know I’m describing it wonderfully, but trying a tea from Peru…doesn’t happen very often! So…any takers? I feel obligated to offer on here before I chuck it out because its come all the way from Peru.

There is no coca leaves in it…just in case you were curious. It is tea from the camellia sinensis plant.

—Just going to ship to the US seeing how I’m willing to pay the shipping. If someone is really gasping to try it and lives abroad and wants to pay the shipping then sure!

There is where I bought the tea. Supposed to be grown near Cusco (ie Machu Picchu)

haha, well send me your address and I’ll send it over. Don’t feel obligated to finish the tea, but really its a novelty. I’ve got a tea bag from Argentina, that I’ll include if you want it.

Thank you! I would love to try the one from Argentina as well _

Could I possibly get a sample as well?
(Just enough for a cup or two?)
I will send you a little of something else to swap…

How on earth did you find them, since the home page is under construction?

Are you sure that the tea you bought from Cusco isn’t cocoa leaf? I’ve bought and had cocoa leaves shipped to the US for tea before. It wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, but certainly not as bad as you described. It’s green and sort of herby and vegetal, not “black” tea as described in the website, but maybe someone has tried roasting or fermenting it?

haha, well I was there in Lima and went to their actual shop front. :)

I’ve tried the coca tea before (yuck!) and so I am certain that this is “tea” tea.
