Number of swap partners:1
Description:

For the open-minded, adventurous tea lover!

This is a simple swap: Send 4 tea bags of the same kind or a variety (in any ol' envelope) to 1 partner, with a note explaining why you like the tea, or something to brighten your partner's day. Feel free to go above and beyond and send more tea than required. Your partner would love you, I'm sure.

The catch: It cannot be a super popular/basic tea, such as Green Tea, English Breakfast Tea, etc. The point is to give your partner something new to try. Let's not be super picky about this, because something may be rare in one part of the world, while very popular in another. Just use your best judgement, and remember to rate fairly on what you receive.

Remember: Check expiration dates. Please do not send loose or unsealed tea bags. They should come in a sealed, store-bought packaging with the tea bag inside. This is not profile based, so go wild! Please message me or comment here if you have any questions or concerns. Have fun, swappers!

I love the idea, because I'm all about trying out new + different tea! I have one question though... Even though it's not profile based, are allergies going to be considered? Would be a shame if a partner can't try the teas due to being allergic I think :(

Naeco 02/14/2016 #

This is sender's choice, so allergies are not a concern of the swap. However, if you would like to message your sending partner once assigned, and let them know your allergies, then they can avoid those things (but it is not required of them). Alternatively, if you are up to it, you are welcome to create an allergy-friendly spin-off of this swap!

This is great, except I don't get why would we want 4 of the same tea? Isn't the idea to be adventurous and try different kinds? So if you didn't like one of them, there's still a chance you'll love another one. Would sending more than one kind be considered not fulfilling the requirements?

Slytheringrrl 02/17/2016 #

I would be open to receiving a variety rather than 4 the same as well as a slight preference for herbal or green over black, but still sender's choice.

ragingrainbow 02/18/2016 #

I also wouldn't mind getting a variety, if that would be allowed. But 4 of the same is fine too. :)

newsong 02/19/2016 #

I'd be open to receiving a variety of teas too =) but 4 of the same would be fine

Naeco 02/19/2016 #

Oh, I apologize. I didn't mean for it to be restrictive. I meant that you are welcome to send 4 of the same, or all different. I will change it. It is up to the sender. I think that 4 of the same is okay because if you enjoy the tea, then you'll have more!

Naeco 02/19/2016 #

Thank you for bringing that up, @tsireldi

Slytheringrrl 02/21/2016 #

Partners?

Naeco 02/21/2016 #

I apologize for the wait! I made a mistake and wrote the swap date downon my calendar for the wrong day. Please message me if this will be an issue for you, and I will be glad to help. Thank you so much for your understanding, swappers!

Naeco 02/21/2016 #

Also, I will be extending the swap-by date by 2 more days to account for my mistake. Again, please accept my apology for the inconvenience and if you have an issue with sending out on time or with the changed dates, please don't hesitate to reach out to me via message.

thatsnotmyname 02/21/2016 #

Did you already extend the swap date or is the 23rd still the old swap-by date?

tsireldi 02/23/2016 #

Wait, how is it due on the 23rd now?? It was Feb 29 originally!

Naeco 02/24/2016 #

Okay, the swap date was supposed to be extended by two days, from the original swap date of the 29th. I changed it to 2 days after the swap partners were ASSIGNED. Phew, I made a huge mess of this swap and I really am sorry for all of the confusion. The send by date should be correct now. Once again, I am sorry for being so disorganized with this swap!
