Alright, this is pretty much round 2 of the Caffeine-Free/Decaf Traveling Tea but this time with a twist: we’re going all herbal! That means this time we won’t be using any decaf teas or anything using the Camellia Sinensis plant at all. Also, everything will be CAFFEINE-FREE so you can drink these tisanes any time of day. Also note that although mate is an herbal tea, it does contain caffeine so it will not be part of this box.

Here’s the rules!

- This swap will be for teas that are caffeine free. Anything rooibos or herbal (except for mate) is good and no caffeinated or decaf teas will be allowed.

-This traveling tea box will be US only.

-You will be required to pay for postage when you send the box out. Luckily, tea is pretty light weight, so even with a large box, the cost should be somewhere around $10. If you ever get a shipping quote over $12, you can always opt to move the tea to a medium-sized flat rate box and work out the details with me.

- Buying a tracking number is REQUIRED (it is included with priority shipping if you use that option). You will send this number BOTH TO ME AND the next person on the list.

-Feel free to sample as many teas as you like! :D When I say sample, I mean take enough for one cuppa tea just so you know what it tastes like.

- If you like it, keep it! Just be sure to replace whatever you take out, considering the quality, price, and weight.

-Try not to keep the box for longer than ONE WEEK (we would like to keep the box moving in a fairly timely and efficient manner). Please keep the thread updated when you receive the box and when you are sending it out.

-Follow me and the people who are before and after you in the list so that we can PM each other when needed.

-Please either send the tea in its original packaging or make sure that it is properly labeled.

-Please make sure to package teas appropriately so that strongly scented teas do not contaminate the other teas, and so that no teas escape and wander the box while in the mail.

- Please replace the box if it becomes damaged.

- We’ve kind of made it a tradition to note the weight of the box as it travels through, just for fun. So try to find out the weight and remember it if you can :)

Any questions, just comment here. Again, there are 10 sign-up spots for this box. Please include the state that you live in when you sign up.
