Lopsided swaps (updated)
edit: Things are going fast, I may add more later. It’s just so hard to part with good tea! List is current as of 5:15 pacific time.
So I’m looking at paring down my tea cupboard. I’m on a strict no buy for the foreseeable future but I am open to swaps.
What I mean by lopsided is that I will send you more tea than you send me. That way my cupboard shrinks but I still get to try new things. I am open to sending at least single cup samples of 90% of my teas excluding ones I only have single cup samples of.
My wishlist isn’t fully developed so feel free to message me and see if we can work something out. I love many many different kinds of tea and am always looking to try new.
I don’t have the ziplock bags I want yet so I would probably start sending things that require them out next week but I just wanted to put this out there and start arranging things.
The other thing I’ve done is list some teas that I know I really just don’t like and let people have them for the cost of shipping and like .50 to $1 for shipping materials(since I don’t have any right now I have to go out and buy some tonight) if they don’t want to do a swap.

Remember these are just the ones I’m willing to send off unconditionally. If you see anything in my cupboard that you want to try a bit of just ask! If you want a smaller quantity of any of these teas I’ll consider it. I just want them to find happy homes.
I’d be interested in taking these off your hands if you still had them – Weeping Angel (52 teas), Caramel (American Tea Room), Salted Caramel & Chocolate (Della Terra), Special Dark (Mandala), Golden Heaven Yunnan (Strand), Golden Buds Shu Pu’er Xingyang (Verdant).
I’ll check through your cupboard to see if there’s anything else I’d be interested in swap wise when I get home from work tonight.
Following you now so take a glance through my cupboard and maybe shoot me a message so we can talk more?
Interested in 52Teas Peach Blackberry Crumble and DT – Strawberries & Cream. I will get back to you later – have to go right now!
If you’re willing to ship to Canada and they’re still available, I would love to take the Peanutbutter Cup Cheese Cake, Peach Blackberry Crumble, Single Estate Oolong Tankha and the Verdant samples off your hands.
I’m also interested in swapping. I don’t have anything off your wishlist, but maybe take a look through my cupboard and send me a message if anything interests you?
Just wanted to let you all know that I’ve been really busy but will get around to messaging everyone and preparing packages this weekend.
I haven’t forgotten!
Hi. If you still have tea you are willing to swap or get rid of, message me (still updating my list)
In case you would still like to swap, I’m interested in Hello Sweetie (Butiki), Special Dark (Mandala), Kashmiri Kahwa (Golden Tips), Cocoa Amore (Whispering Pines), Laoshan Black (Verdant). I’m new to loose leaf tea so am definitely willing to take some off your hands! Let me know if there is anything in my cupboard I could send. I don’t have large quantities but I’m happy to share!
I just wanted to jump in on this thread and say I’d like to do the same lopsided swap as Frolic mentioned (I give more than receive). I’m willing to also just send any of these off for the shipping price if you don’t want to swap. Thanks for the awesome idea, Frolic!
I have a lot of teas to list, so message me with the teas you’re interested in and I’ll then say how much of it I have and the packaging, etc.
