I have a bunch of tea that I brought back from visiting my husband’s family in India – we were able to make a side trip to a tea estate in Coonoor, Tamil Nadu in the Nilgiri production area. All the tea was produced locally, though not all from the specific estate we visited. It is far more than I can ever drink, so I wanted to swap it so others could have a chance to try it. I would like to try oolongs and puerhs, but would consider anything but rooibos.

Orange pekoe loose leaf Cardamom tea (CTC) Masala chai (CTC)
* Chocolate tea (CTC, best made by steeping in milk…om nom nom) green tea (loose leaf, but can’t really tell more, other than its a heartier, full-bodied green) Breakfast blend (loose leaf)
* Dragonwell style green (only enough for a couple cups)
* another green tea (more of a springy, lighter one)
* silver needle style white tea (surprised me too)

Hi, Meeka. I have a lot of Oolong (most Dancong and Wuyi)and a lot of Pu’erh (mostly shou, mostly not in my cupboard). I am interested in everything except for the flavored teas. Follow me so we can message if you think I might have anything you’d be interested in.

I’m interested the Cardamom tea,Masala chai, the lighter green tea, and silver needle. have some keynan green and oolong I can trade.

Sare said

Would love to try the chocolate tea :)

Meeka select said

CharlotteZero – I PM’ed you! Kasumi and Sare, if you follow me I’ll message you about swapping!

Meeka select said

Messaged everyone! I still have some of everything but the dragonwell style green.

Looking for any banana dessert tea. Banana Dream Pie would be nice but others will do.

I haven’t sent your tea yet, would you like to try Teavana’s Chocolate Bananas Foster?

I’m not looking to swap, but offer 2oz of 52 Teas GenmaiCHAI…I just received it in the mail today, and I don’t foresee drinking more than the cup I am finishing now. If you like this one, I’d me more than happy to send it to you:).

Dustin said

I’d love to try it!

I love genmai. But haven’t had 52 teas genmaichai.

teapot1 said

ok…I will split it up for the two of you and send out tomorrow. Not my cup of tea, but hopefully you will like!

Dustin said

Thanks for sharing! I’m excited to try it! :)

Jes select said

Dying to try this if there’s any left …

teapot1 said

Hi Jes…I have it split up and sealed in the two envelopes stamped and ready to go:(. I would have been happy to split it three ways had I known sooner.

Login or sign up to post a message.

I am new to this website and swapping. So not sure how this works exactly. I have the following sealed samples that I’m interested in swapping. I prefer flavored black or oolong teas mostly. I love dessert teas. You can take a look at my shopping list for what I’m looking to try or offer something based on my list. I would prefer to swap in the United States for now.

Here’s what I have to swap, all sample sizes & sealed:

Adagio Teas: Pu Erh Poe 23g/.8oz
Adagio Teas: Vanilla Green 14g/.5oz
Upton Tea Imports: Jasmine Tea 15g/.5oz (doesn’t say green or black?)

And in the future I may consider swapping loose teas from my collection (other than just sealed samples) but I have a few questions:

How do most people send them? In small ziplocks?
How much of each tea do you normally send?
Is parcel post the best shipping method for tea?

I’m excited to try some new teas :-)

yssah said

welcome to Steepster swap, Marcel!

im interested in Golden Monkey, Lover’s Leap, Lapsang, and Da Hong Pao

here’s my swap page
http://steepster.com/discuss/4739-swap-lots-of-teas-w-slash-intro-prices-due-to-insistent-public-demand
first, you gotta click my name/profile and click the follow button. i’m already following you (that is how we are able to pm)

small ziplocks are good for 3tsp swaps which is usual but it really depends on both if they want or are able to swap bigger amounts :) i started out with snack-size zips

i use the cheapest shipping – usps first class. some like to use tracking. most prefer to use bubble wrap to cushion the teas/keep ziplock from being poked through

T.C. said

Hiya Marcel,
I’ll take a stab at answering your questions
1.)Most of us send in small ziplocks. 4×4in or so. You can find them in bulk on amazon or ebay or craft stores i assume.
2.) This varies per trade. some like to swap 2 tsp samples, some like bigger sample swaps, and some want to swap 1,2, or 4 oz of a tea. Just talk in PMs to the person and decided amongst yourselves
3.) The cheapo 1st glass mail at post office is $2.07 for me to send tea swaps out in a manila envelope. Thats how i send 90% of my trades out

T.C.- Thanks so much that does answer my questions!

2″ × 3″ bags fit 10g of tea so well and cost 5$ for 500 bags

yappychappy, thank-you! I’ll have to pick up a box of the bags. I understand a little better how swapping works.
