2024 Homemade Advent Calendar Swap

It’s that time again! I’ve enjoyed hosting the advent swap the last few years, so I figured I’d get it started again.

Anyone who wants to participate, please list your tea preferences and whether you’re comfortable shipping abroad in the comments. On October 31st, I’ll assign partners and we can get rolling!

Each person will send their recipient 25 opaque, labeled packets of tea. (Each day should contain enough for at least 1-2 cups of tea) Feel free to get as creative as you like with the packaging! I’d suggest shipping no later than November 18th to make sure it arrives in time, though earlier is better, especially if you’re shipping outside the US.

Let me know if you have any questions!

I’ll start:

I enjoy flavored tea – primarily herbals and black tea, though I’ll drink the occasional green tea. Also preferably loose leaf.
Favorite flavors: dessert flavors, melon, lavender, almond, strawberry, nutty, anything rooibos-related.
Don’t prefer: smoky, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender or chamomile), plain tea. Also nothing with gelatin.
I would prefer to ship within the US this year.

Ooh, thank you for kicking this off again!

Preferences in a nutshell:

- I like just about everything except for stevia, (strong) hibiscus, and (strong) bergamot. (More details are in my profile, but I love trying new things.)
- I prefer loose-leaf to bagged but I’m happy to receive whatever!
— I’m vegan, so I don’t drink teas with honey, gelatin, dairy, etc.

I could probably ship internationally if needed!

Thanks for organizing, AJRimmer! I’d love to participate again. :)

Likes: straight black tea (especially Chinese) and flavored blends…particularly dessert-type blends and anything with banana, caramel, or coconut. I prefer loose leaf rather than bagged tea.

Dislikes: stevia, hibiscus, chamomile, and most rooibos.

I’m located in Wisconsin and would prefer to ship within the USA.
