I’m looking to try more Butiki Teas. I’ve already had Pistachio Ice Cream and Tangerine Creamsicle. If anyone has some others they can manage to part with, let me know if there’s anything in my cupboard that interests you.

I have several Butiki teas and you have several teas I’d like to try! PM me :)

Hi,

I have the following teas I would like to swap. Note these are NOT currently listed in my cupboard:

- Tea Forté Citrus Mint
- Tea Forté Honey Yuzu
- Tea Forté Cucumber Mint
- Tea Forté Cherry Marzipan
- Teavana Rooibos Peach Blossom & Honeybush Blend (received in a swap, but didn’t really like it)

I’m a little picky, but I am looking for Teavana teas. I prefer flavored and regular greens, white, herbal, and Rooibos teas. I also love Strawberry Rose Champagne, which is the only exception of Oolong I like.

If anyone is interested, let me know! :)

I would LOVE the Cucumber Mint. If you’re willing to ship to Canada. I have a few Teavana blends, but can easily get something else as there is one near by.

lcg842 said

@tattooed_tea, the Cucumber Mint is yours! And yes, I am definitely willing to ship to Canada.

What Teavana blends do you have? :)

lcg842 said

Tattooed_tea, I’m currently following you, but could you follow me so we can PM? I already know what I want from your cupboard! :)

I’ll send them out to someone who wants them all. They are: Toasted Marshmallow(2), Banana DreamPie, Chai Guarana, English Breakfast and Jumpy Monkey Mate.

I’m not sure how much of each you have to trade? Please feel free to browse my cupboard and see if anything catches your fancy.

Hooray! I replied to your most recent swap list.

Let’s say 25 grams of each, except for the Russian Caravan, which I can do more of.

Where do you get your bags, if you don’t mind me asking? If I used small freezer bags from Wilkinsons, would that work? This is my first swap, so bear with me :)

That sounds great :)

I get my bags from work so I’m lucky in that way but most people use any sort of food bags with a sealed tab. The only thing you need to remember is to label them whether it be by pen or sticker. I’m happy to help. :)

Thanks so much!

One thing I should mention is that some of these teas are 6+ months old and may not have been stored in ideal conditions (e.g. in the bag it came in rather than an airtight container). Is there a recommended limit for the age of the tea being swapped?

Luckily most teas can survive for a few years if kept correctly. If the bag that the teas came in has a tab top to seal then that is fine. If the bag is open to the air then it would have dried and lost a lot of it’s flavour and goodness. Teabags are fine to be stored in their boxes as the bags are made to be stored that way but eventually they dry up too.

I believe the tea that you swap should be clean and kept in a good enough condition that you would still be willing to drink it yourself. There is no real written law about it really just a courteous factor to take into consideration. :)

Let me know. I will hopefully mail within a week or so :)
