I’ve got a mess of tea, but not had much luck swapping or even giving it away. Often difficult to even find out if it was received. Has left a bad taste in my mouth. Both occasions I was super busy too.

Sent a really solid collection to one person and got nothing in return. Supposedly lost in the mail. Still a bummer. Another that I sent, asking only that the individual write a tasting note on it, failed as well. They got the tea but never posted a review/note. Honestly I was curious as I didn’t like the tea at all and was hoping to see how someone else would respond to it.

Don’t anticipate much swapping in my future. Too bad, had hoped to enjoy that part of the community.

That’s too bad that you had two bad experiences right from the start! I’ve only had good experiences swapping (so far). I’m more likely to distrust USPS than other Steepsterites so I always get tracking for packages (costs a bit more, but worth it for me). Maybe you can try to play it safe and swap only with the names you see that are frequently vouched for so that you don’t have to miss out on all the fun. (^.^)

Yeah, we’ll see. At some point I’ll do an inventory and post some stuff, so that it doesn’t go to waste. Pretty focused right now on appreciate all the wonderful spring greens the are coming online for 2013. Great stuff!
