*Copied from previous similar swap with the permission of the original creator @Nekozet

Too busy to swap? Too frazzled to worry about choosing just the right things for your partners? Worried you've already sent your most special tea to most of us, and trying hard not to repeat? Open to trying something new? Then this super easy swap is for you!

Go right NOW to your tea stash, and:

  1. pull out 8 teas (individually wrapped);
  2. put 2 different flavored teabags in 4 envelopes;
  3. include a note stating your name and the swap name;
  4. seal the envie... Then wait.

When partners are assigned, address the envelopes and mail them. That's it. Nothing more. No extras required. No profile surfing for preferences.

If you have allergies, consider if you are willing to possibly receive teas you can't drink, before signing up. There is no telling what you might receive! You can keep them to re-gift or future swaps.

If you feel the need to "cushion" your teas you may use a notecard or sheet of paper to sandwhich your teas. Send off your teabags to their anonymous homes.

« Sign up » and « send by » dates are really close since the envies should already be prepared in advance to be mailed out. If you’re not sure you will be able to send on time, DON’T JOIN !!!

Now the fun part…


Requirements:

• You must have a rating of 4.96+ with no recent no sends;
• No unexplained 1's or 3's or you will be banned (just PM me to discuss);
• You must have at least 5 type 2 (or higher) rated swaps;
• NO newbies (sorry I was burnt to often and there is lately too many swap lifters).

Ratings:

• Please rate your partner as soon as envelope is received;
• 5s should be given out based on whether the package meets the swap requirements, NOT whether you like it or not.


I will check profiles before assigning partners and I will ban anyone who seems fishy (even late senders in my previous swaps). I might sound harsh but I’m trying to avoid unpleasant experience. If any questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to PM me (as communication is the key).

This swap is meant to be fun, so PLEASE no flakers. Should there be any, I will Angel (or find an angel) if necessary.

Anyone unhappy with the swap description or swap requirements is more than welcome to start his or her own swap.

So, they have to be individually packaged, right? No sending sachets, right?

@pennypuppy ~ I forgot to mention it, I will go edit the description right away. Thanks for asking.

I really hope there will be more of these once I've met the requirements of 5 swaps minimum: )

Nekozet 04/ 5/2012 #

Yay! Thanks for doing this, @Toupti !!

@Nekozet ~ my pleasure, thanks for letting me copy your cool swap. I might repeat it from time to time.

got my envelopes ready :) Eager to see what I get in return.

Toupti 04/ 7/2012 #

Yeah me too... enveloppes are ready, closed and sealed! Just waiting for addresses, it's coming soon. Me too @onx95 I can wait to see what I get. 4 envies in my mailbox ... YAY lots of happy mail for a quick easy swap. I think I'm going to run this swap from time to time.

I have a question: If sending this in a regular envelope with a note card, do you have to do a customs form if sending internationally? Any one know?
