Description:
You choose how to make it, tea swap Ok it is summer time and many like tea iced even their favorite flavors. Some like iced tea all year long not matter how cold it is. Some always must have that nice hot cup of tea, not matter what time of year and how hot it is. This is a three bag swap. Send three bags, wrapped by the manufacturer. It is senderâ€™s choice. You cannot make a decent glass of iced tea with one bag. You can mention preferences below, but your sender does not have to send those. Send a note or a card with the tea, you the sender can chose that and you can make it a homemade card if you please. The main part of the swap is the tea. The note or card can have written message of any length. Just make sure you have the name of the swap and your user name on it. When the receiver gets the tea, they can then decide how to make it. Iced or hot. I will make this international, since most of us can send a note and three bags for first class one ounce rates. My usual rules apply. One week to send, if you have more than 1 one rating, then please do not bother. Sometimes there is good reason, so if you feel you have good reason, you can PM me and I will decide from that point. But most flakers have no good reason and if possible any more than 1 one, should be making up not joining new swaps. More than 3 threes please Pm me also. Newbies welcome. With the well filled out profile. Look at profiles to see what well filled out means. Mine is long, your does not have to be that long, but it should have more than one or two paragraphs. I figure if you cannot be bothered to make a decent profile, then the chances of making a swap to your partner would not be a good risk. And lastly, but surely, if you do happen to have a flaker for a partner, I will angels on the condition you rate that partner a one. That would only be fair to the partners that send and send on time.

If you find that you cannot send this one ounce rate, please let me know. If most cannot do that I will re-do the swap the next time.

I like orange pekoe and black teas and I also like a little bit of vanilla tea in my iced tea pot once in a while.

I do like to partake of tea swaps so any would be cool wiht me.

No Black tea for me. Anything else is fine.

Just to clarify, the 3 tea bags need to be the same or different?

fawnscrafts 07/ 2/2012 #

The teas can be any. It is senders choice, you can send different or the same, but usually it is more pleasant to get different ones.

However, the sender decides what send.

NOTE: If a lot would rather get different teas, let me know, via this message or a PM and the next swap I will consider it.

The next one like this will be majority rules for different or could be the same, so if you wish to have a voice, message here or Pm and I will take votes.

I will vote first, I do like different ones the best.

I love black teas and chai

it does say in description that you need more than 1 bag to make a good iced tea- so wouldn't that mean send the same?

Just put it in the mailbox! :)

@xomama I can mix to make a decent iced tea. For instance, I make iced tea in a coffee maker.

So I put 8 -10 tea bags in the pot, depending on how much I need to freeze, and then the water and then turn it on and let it steep for any where from one or two hours to overnight.

That way I make it strong enough to add at least half and half water when I want the cold glass of tea.

(I do fill my bottles, about halfway with the tea and water and freeze those for taking along with me when I am away from the house.)

That mixture makes about two half full bottles and then fills them up with the water and tea to the top and then some.

So to add a different flavor, I will add one bag to the pot, sot the flavor is just a slight hint. That is why I say it could be different.

The bottles I use to freeze are those v8 fruity ones, V-fusions.

That is why I say different teas, even for iced tea.
