Old Swap Thread!

I’m interested in Maple Cream, Jasmine Pearls, & Cream Earl Grey from Vermont. Take a look at at my cupboard and PM me if interested.

Curious about the Pralines n Cream though I can’t seem to find anything about it anywhere. Maybe I’m just not looking in the right places. I do not have any Cocomint Cream but you’re welcome to look at my cupboard again if you’re interested in swapping something else. Will understand if you’re just looking for that though.

Tropical Tea Company wasn’t well known I don’t think, they recently merged with Miss Gloria’s Tea House, I bought a bunch in November to try them out because they were so cheap. Overall pretty decent!

Is it a black tea? Green?

it’s a black tea

Hi Jackie, I dont have David’s but I do have plenty of Harney’s Soho which is coconutty ^^ you can also choose from my swap list/cupboard
http://loveistea.wordpress.com

would like to try
Winter Nog- Della Terra
Chocolate Pumpkin Pie- Della Terra
Red Hot Cinnamon Chai- 52teas
Professor Grey- Della Terra
Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearls- Teavana

I’m interested in the Chocolate pumpkin pie, Professor Grey and Winter nog if you still have any.

Yssha You really don’t want to try Professor Grey…

i’d be willing to swap /or/ pay someone for flavored matcha samples if they have a few flavors they like or don’t like and are willing to part with some.

I’ve been tempted by the buy 10 get 5 free deal for a while. Maybe I should help myself with that and if I hate it, just spread it around. A lot of people seem to want to try a bit of the flavoured matchas and I get a work bonus tomorrow.

Okay, just ordered this: Size: 30g of each flavor, Flavor: Distinctive , Matcha # 1: Belgium Chocolate Matcha, Matcha # 2: Black Cherry Matcha, Matcha # 3: Caramel Matcha, Matcha # 4 : Cola Matcha, Matcha # 5 : Cookies & Cream Matcha, Matcha # 6: French Vanilla Matcha, Matcha # 7: Macadamia Praline Matcha, Matcha # 8: Alfalfa Matcha, Matcha # 9: Mint Matcha, Matcha # 10: Raspberry Matcha, Matcha # 11 (FREE): Banana Matcha, Matcha # 12 (FREE): Bavarian Cream Matcha, Matcha # 13 (FREE): Creme Brulee Matcha, Matcha # 14 (FREE): Grape Matcha, Matcha # 15 (FREE): White Matcha

So may be available for swaps sometime in March. Still looking for matcha samples not on this list though, if anyone is willing to share a cup.

I would definitely love to swap with you when my matcha order comes.

Oh my goodness! I’ve never even heard of all these flavors of matcha!! I know I’m new to this thread, but would you be willing to trade some of the “Cola matcha” with me when it comes?? :) Oh, and I followed you!

Maybe. Probably. Depends on how much I love/hate it.

are you interested only in flavored red tea matchas for swap?

I am actually not interested in red tea matchas at all. The ones I bought are green tea matchas and I also like black tea matchas. The ones I just bought includes a white tea matcha for me to try.

oh, i meant if you are set on red tea leaf (brand) and flavoreds in particular

Oh, well I don’t suppose I care about the brand so much, but I’m really only interested in flavoured green matchas right now. I don’t actually like green tea that much and I’m working my way up to unflavoured.

me too. i like only a couple of flavored greens so far. but im lovin jasmine and matcha :) am thinking to get a jasmine matcha haha.

If you are ever willing to swap some samples and if there’s anything on my list you’d like to try, I’d love to try a small amount of anything you are open to sharing a bit of :)

@Starfevre and LIT
I am using same method, but in reverse. I love green tea, plain matcha, and genmai, but am hesitant about flavored matcha for many reasons. I have enjoyed a roasted rice genmai) flavored matcha and ginger (not red leaf tea) was ok…therefore I will work my way through RLT testing flavors I know I already like in other teas. Jasmine, Lavender,Rose,Hibiscus, and Chai will be in my first orders.

Hey, I just got a HUGE order of red leaf teas. :) Have a look in my cupbard everyone and let me know if there’s anything you’d like to try. Also, given that these are rather expensive teas, let me know what you’d be willing to swap in return! Looking forward to swapping! :)

id join ya in that search too !
ive been told Della Terra has THE BEST blueberry tea.
i searched- and of course theyre sold out :)

Yes, I love Della Terra’s Blueberry Cream. Unfortunately, I don’t have enough to share. They also have a cappucino rooibos that has caramel in it that I really like.

I have tried both, and I would like more.

I have some coco caramel I’ll send you next package

Thanks, T.C.

Anymore vanilla, blueberry, or caramel rooibos?

I have a bunch of vanilla and caramel teas, particularly rooibos blends. Have a look in my cupboard and let me know if you see something of interest.:)

@sharkirah- There are a few of your teas I would like to try.
However, I can only ship within the U.S.

Too bad. Would have been glad to share! :)

So far, the people with the teas I would like to try live in Canada. So I’m still looking for those rooibos flavours.

I have a caramel & rum rooibos from Lupicia, if you’re interested.

If you already like David’s their Salted Caramel has coconut in it. And tastes more like coconut.

I have a straight coconut black from Mcnulty’s. it’s very good, would love to share. And I’d love some mango diablo

I have H&S’s Green tea with coconut and ginger, and Royal Wedding.

@Lariel – I’ve actually tried almost all of the David’s Teas :)

@Artp – I can give you the remainder 12g bag of Mango Diablo. I had only 1 cup so I would guess there’d be at least 10g in there.

@Stella – That’s awesome but I’m not too sure on ginger – does the ginger really come through in the taste, or more the coconut?

Thanks for all the replies!

I didn’t taste any ginger to be honest. It’s more like Coconut green tea.

Well that would be awesome if you want to swap :) Let me know if there’s anything in my cupboard you’re interested in.

Following!

i would like to try those :)

Yssah-send me a pm

Hi!
I am interested in:
Apricot Amaretto, Marco Polo and the Royal Wedding Tea.

Follow me so I can send you a list of teas I have to swap! Thanks!

Followed you!
FYI, Marco Polo is loose leaf and Apricot Amaretto & Royal Wedding are sachets.

I’d love to try Diamond Jubilee and Valentine’s Blend – let me know if you see anything you like in my cupboard! I have a couple David’s Teas and 52Teas.

I have the sparrow tongue but that’s it! I also have some Second Flush FTGOP1 Darjeeling you might like but its not from Butiki…

That was my fear with the tea exchange, I decided against it because it seems like you will never be 100% even with your person—since it’s secret santa style you can’t discuss a spending limit, so chances are either you will spend more on them or vice versa. Sorry it didn’t work out for you :(

I at least helped someone get a way to drink loose leaf tea so it really pisses me off that someone else couldn’t at least make an effort. I shouldn’t really say I was upset about the cost because the cost in the end isn’t a big deal as I have a bunch of money coming in from selling something in a couple weeks. There’s an entire subreddit of information. There’s an anonymous messaging system built in. I made sure when I posted to say “not sure if this is all” in hopes when they get the email and it is all they’ll feel like a jerk, like I don’t know how cheap English Tea Store tea is.

I did the exchange too but was very happy with my swap. A lovely woman sent me three Canadian teas and an infuser. It was risky and I gambled and became very lucky but I would definitely think hard about doing it again. I’m sorry that you did not enjoy your experience. Any idea how much postage would be to UK? I’m thinking around $15, I am interested either way.

Should be $12.75 as long as the packaging is kept to a minimum which I think I can do.

I’m up for it if you wouldn’t mind shipping to me :)

Hey Kitty – if you want momo to send it to me I can send it with your Ovation order. It would probably save you about $5-7

Just offering in case.

That’s very kind of you darby..it could work. If you were interested we could always split it. I just paid you darby on Paypal but could always pay the difference. :)

I don’t need more tea – but if that’s ok with momo – we can add it – let me know what she says.

Sounds good to me! I’m always for whatever makes it easier for people!

I always enjoy the exchanges, and you’re right about the risk/reward. The other thing is that as I understand it, you’re not necessarily sending to the same person that’s sending to you. So, it’s not like you’re sending a ton of gifts and then that person shafts you.

I’ve had mixed results, two book exchanges were complete no gifts. My christmas exchange was beyond anything I could have hoped for, and the last 3, including the tea and coffee exchange have been a mixture, i’m still hoping to get the snack exchange gift.

My coffee and tea exchange gifts were pretty awesome though, aside from the marketspice cinnamon orange doing a number on my ingenuitea. I posted it to the redditgifts site at http://redditgifts.com/gallery/gift/yaytea-exchange-delivers/ and my recipient seemed to enjoy the gift I got them as well, posted at http://redditgifts.com/gallery/gift/coffee-and-pancakes-everyone/ . In all, I think I got slightly more then what I spent on that one, but fairly equal.

Book exchange, i sent out two very nice artbooks, in return I got one of my favorite books of all time that unfortunately i don’t currently have a copy of, so it’s priceless to me, but actual value i received about 35$ less than I spent.

Snack exchange i sent out about 35$ worth of japanese snacks, have received nothing so far, but, there’s still time.

All in all, I like taking part in the exchanges and find the entire process fun. I’ve gotten shafted entirely twice so far, and might be looking at a third, buuuut, it doesn’t really affect my enjoyment. The only thing that really sucks is when the person doesn’t post their gift at all.

i read that you can report those who have not sent anything and that is a good thing to do really coz 1) it will keep them from victimizing others 2) they match you with someone who sends you something in their place

they really should make at least a value match to prevent things like grossly unequal exchanges. this will encourage greater participation, i think.

I have a little of the strawberry one.

Cool. PM’d you.

I have Weeping Angel, Raspberry Cream, Pomegranate Blackberry and Cucumber Kiwi (along with lots of other 52teas blends!). I’d be interested in trying Maple Pecan Oolong, Mulberry Magic, Cache-Cache & Carol—shoot me a PM! ^^

Ok, will do!

What is the Weeping Angel? I’ve only had two of 52 teas.

Taken from their site: “It’s a buttered toffee caramel corn flavored black tea…”.

Well, that sounds awesome. Am I supposed to drink it while watching Doctor Who?

Haha. I suppose that part’s optional, but if you like Doctor Who – YES! =)

when does doctor who premier?

I think it’s March 30th at 8pm.

I thought it was in April?

According to BBC America it’s the 30th of March.

http://www.bbcamerica.com/anglophenia/2013/02/first-look-supernatural-saturday-premieres-march-30/

Which is practically April, anyway.

I have cinnamon roll honeybush, if it is still on your wish list…

PM’d you!

Cinnamon roll? Sounds good.

I thought the same thing. mmmm cinnamon roll.

i have 52 teas booberry

I think I’m done with ones that aren’t on the list directly. Limited shipping money for swaps right now. Thanks, though! =)

Pancake Breakfast is on its way to me, if you’re still interested in that one.

Alysha – I am still interested! That’s the last one I really wanted to try! Follow me back so we can PM?

I have earl grey creme from teavana….
