Not tea – but giving away one “Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Tea” logo patch (iron-on/sew on). Looks like this:

PM me if you want it and I will drop it in the mail to you. US only, please!

I am a young mom, just getting into this whole tea thing. My husband doesn’t drink any hot beverages so he really does not understand my new fascination with tea. He really would not appreciate me spending a good chunk of our grocery budget on trying new teas. So I was wondering if anyone here would be willing to let me try some of their teas? I am open to trying just about anything once. Although I do have a soy allergy so I can’t handle anything soy, including soy lecithin which is in a lot of the cheaper tea bags at the store and I am also sensitive to other legumes (beans, peanuts, chickpeas, etc) and grains. I don’t know if those are generally in teas, but I thought I should mention it. Also I am nursing so I try to stick to caffeine free or decaf most of the time, but I do have the occasional caffeinated beverage when I have a headache. In general I love all things fruit. And I enjoyed a vanilla rooibos I got. And coconut chai. I also like strong teas like taco passion (that’s the only tea I’ve tasted that is so strong :)).But as I said I am willing to try anything so whatever you have you don’t want I will take and try. And if I don’t like it i will pass it along to someone else. Thank you!

You can make your own chai tea by boiling together ordinary spices like cinnamon and coriander, nutmeg, a squeeze of fresh ginger, a tiny pinch of black pepper. Strain and drink, or add this mixture to a weak tea made from black tea leaves you can get from the local grocery. Tea in loose leaf form can be steeped several times using short steepings, just save ’em and add more water. Spices are warming and add to milk production, if this is an issue.

In spring, save yourself a few sprigs of fresh watercress or parsley and steep these with a squeeze of lemon or lime, and add to a light green tea broth. You can find some really good green teas at Asian grocery stores for under $5, or even a box of gunpowder green tea at regular groceries that will last a really long time, and you can add fresh herbs to a light tea broth.

La Leche League moms usually have some good recipes to try. It depends on the mom, I had more milk than my baby wanted and was always dealing with that issue. I think I focused my beverages more on tonic herbs like the parsley and other fresh herbs, grew a lot myself in those days…

Hi guys -

I’m clearing out my tea stash yet again and found a bunch of Butiki teas (all approx. 10 months old, stored in original packaging and in good condition) that just weren’t to my taste. Given that there doesn’t seem to be any quality issues, and that the store is closing, I’d like to offer them up to a more appreciative home.

They are (weights approximate):

Taiwanese Wild Mountain Black (10 grams)
Ruby Pie (1 oz.)
The Black Lotus (8-10 grams)
Crimson Horizon (20 grams)
Irish Breakfast (25 grams)

I’d be willing to send to one or two people, but I would REALLY like to not do more than that. If one person wants all of them, even better. I’d be willing to ship to US or Canada.

Thanks for looking!

I have some pu-erh that I got to try out and see if I liked it, but it turns out it’s really not my thing. I have:

Harney & Sons Pu-Erh sample
Golden Moon Tea Pu-Erh sample
Adagio Teas Pu Erh Dante sample
and four flavored samples from Adagio’s Terra sampler: Chorange, Hazelberry, Tahiti, and Spice. All the samples are unopened except for the Hazelberry, which has about a cup’s worth taken out.

Because of the small sizes, I would prefer to send to one person, but I might be willing to send to two if one or both is close (I am in Indiana). Hopefully someone else will enjoy these more than me!
