Old Swap Thread!
I have 2 oz (minus one tsp) of Teavana’s Lavender Dreams to get rid of. I do not like lavender, but I received this tea and thought I would give it a try.
Anyone interested?
I am interested! I love lavender. Is there anything in my list (a few posts above) that interests you?
Few extras I’d like to swap if possible. I’ll warn ahead of time I’ll be a bit picky since I’ve been trading so much (some days I feel like I’ve tried every tea combination in existence).
For trade:
Earl Black – 52Teas – sealed
Maharaja Chai Oolong/Samurai Chai Mate Blend – Teavana – sealed
Gyokuro Imperial – Teavana – sealed
King of Silver Needles – Ovation – ziplock (can go as high as 4oz)
I prefer non-blacks normally (though I’ve become somewhat fond of a good lapsang souchong). Either reply with what you have to trade of direct me to your cupboard to poke around.
I’m moving at the end of the month so I’m going to have to restrict this to U.S. trades only for this batch (otherwise I’m normally happy to ship wherever).
Thanks :)
I am interested in the Earl Black from 52Teas. Feel free to browse through my cupboard. I am looking to trade Walnut Brittle from Della Terra (about an ounce worth) and I also have lots from Harney & Sons that I can trade in larger amounts. I can also trade few cups worth of anything else in my cupboard.
Teas for trade-
Teavana- strawberry pu erh
Teavana- rooibos tropica
I have enough for a few cups of the strawberry, and more for the tropicia. Looking for rooibos/ honeybush. Preferably David’s Alpine Punch or Oh Canada.
I’m interested in the strawberry pu erh! Unfortunately I don’t have any Alpine Punch or Oh Canada D: Is there possibly in my cupboard that looks interesting?
Message me if you have any Butiki that you are willing to trade, I would love to try some of their teas!
Is there a thread on here that explains the protocols for swapping? (i.e. how big a sample? Put sample in a little baggie? Who pays shipping? etc…) I have an insane amount of tea that I would happily send people but am unsure how to go about doing it.
generally the sizes/amounts are figured out by the people involved in the swap. Most folks swap usings bags/tins depending on the amount of tea involved. Generally the person sending the tea would pay for it – though i suppose that could also be worked out between the people swapping :)
Thanks! Once I’m over all this crud, I’ll post all my offerings. I’m awful about keeping tea that I know I probably will never drink because I hate to throw away/waste any of it. So I love the idea of swapping. I don’t even really need anything in return! Just a happy new home for some of my teas!
(lines up for swap)
I have been thinking of starting a thread on swapping guidelines/suggestions since it has been asked often enough and the answers buried in this super long swapping thread and pm exchanges. I’m sure everyone has cool suggestions for swaps. Your question has reinforced my motivation to do so :D
UPDATED!
I’ve got up for trade…
Twinings – Pure Rooibos Red Tea (bags)
Twinings – Lady Grey (bags)
Stash – Chamomile Nights (bags)
Teavana – Morrocan Mint (loose leaf) less then 2oz
Teavana – Earl Grey Creme (loose leaf)less then 2oz
Tazo – Well Being Rest (bags)
Davids Tea – Northern Lights (organic) (loose leaf)
Art of Tea – Caramel Pear (a little more then one cup (1TBS) left)
I’m still waiting for my orders from 52Teas (Cinnamon Roll HB).
I’m interested in trying 52Teas but I’m open to practically anything.
What do you have to offer?
Today I tried an oolong from Butiki teas. It was really good, so now I want to try more oolong teas. Preferably flavoured.
Anyone have some they’d be willing to swap?
I just got a sample of David’s coconut oolong with my order. PM me and I will send it to you. (If you are interested).
I have the coconut oolong, also vanilla orchid (which is AMAZING) also from David’s… Also have a ginseng one that’s not really flavoured, just coated in ginseng. Let me know if any of this interests you. :)
A couple things to swap or give away. Some of these are re-swaps because I didn’t like them or could drink them (honeybush) and there’s enough for someone else to get a taste.
Zoomdweebies Peaches and Cream Black (originally from Tea Sipper) – small baggy
Element Tea Organic Vanilla Rooibos (originally from Tea Sipper, 4 bags)
52teas Custard-Filled Maple Long John Honeybush (originally from Alphakitty) – small baggy
52teas Cotton Candy Black (I bought this one myself) 3/4 of a package or so.
Apologies to Tea Sipper and Alphakitty if you’re offended by re-swaps, but I can’t see myself ever drinking the rest of these (although they were good to taste!) so I hope to find them a better home than mine.
I would love to try the cotton candy black….what types of tea are you looking for ?
Blacks, flavoured blacks, herbals mostly. French Vanilla Bean from Persimmon Tree if anyone has any. Love that stuff.
I wouldn’t mind trying Zoomdweebies Peaches and Cream Black. Do you have the Steepster link of that one?
Anything in my cupboard is up for grabs…although I’m hesitant to swap my Caramel Pear ATM since I haven’t received my order yet and it’s a sample size so I don’t know if I’ll have enough (since I’ve already told Josie and Lauriel that I’ll send them a cups worth) but if you really want it I think I can pry manage one more cup. The sample size says it makes 5-7 cups on Art of Teas website.
Not offended, Starfevre! I’m just sad you didn’t like them. But everyone can’t like every tea. I feel that way too though, wondering if it offends any other Steepsters when I pass on a tea I don’t like.. or it might just be that I have a lot of it and I want to share.
I don’t think anyone should get offended. Diversity in taste and preference is part of what allows such a diversity to exist in Tea;). As well, it’s better to pass on something you know you wont drink rather than for it to be wasted.
I got a sample of coconut oolong from Davids in my last order. I can send it in a business envelope to the first person who wants it!! (ON HOLD)
I will be going to the post office for another swap soon so I thought I would list this again to see if I can set anything else up again. I am fairly picky as far as swaps go, but feel free to reply and I will definitely check out your cupboard. I would also be happy to send something if you really wanted something and would pay postage.
