Description:

My favorite swaps have been the tea swaps. I love sitting down in the evening and having a cup of tea to wind down before bed. In this swap, you will have 1 partner to send to. You will send your partner 5 different bags of different types of tea, one tea cup or nice tea mug to drink the tea from, and a snack to go along with the tea. Please make sure that the tea bags are in paper, not the loose tea bags. When sending a snack to go with the tea, make sure it is nothing expired and will be in good condition. Thrift shops are a great place to find different tea mugs for a decent price, if you are on a budget......Have fun!

Thank you for posting the food allergy farruska! I'm looking forward as well to this swap...I Love Hot Tea on a cold night!! Have a great day!! Jill

This sounds like fun! I have stared drinking more tea and less coffee these days!

user1787 08/20/2006 #

Just a note that I prefer black teas to herbal teas, although I'm willing to try new things.

Sorry, I accidentally hit the drop from swap instead of view swap button! I signed up again!

I am a loose tea drinker - I will be happy to send bagged teas, but would like to share some of my favorite loose teas as well - would that be acceptable?

Misalady 08/31/2006 #

I, personally, would LOVE to get loose tea... not sure about anybody else, though.

@farruska will the mail arrive in only 10 days (from Germany)? I've wrote Jill about that, but she hasn't answered yet.

Farruska 09/ 4/2006 #

@Drachenfrau at the Post they said about 7 werktage minimum for the USA for example. but can also take less! On the green swap I've sent to the USA on the 16th and debp received on the 22nd!

(p.s. today I've remembered of you :D because here in D'orf we're getting the Dachen boat race :) now I know what your name means ;) )

Drachenfrau 09/ 5/2006 #

@farruska thanks. My postman couldn't tell me. :-( (Yes, Drachen = Dragons g)

Hi,

I have found a lovely tea cup this day at a secondhandshop. You cann't see it is a secondhand one.

The cup is just like the ones i get when i drink tea at my grandmothersplace. She did turn 90 this summer. I like the idea to send a "real" tea cup. I hope the one who gets this teacup liked it also.

user3340 09/11/2006 #

i was just looking at some profiles and was wondering if maybe we could list some of our fav flavors and snacks here to make picking the perfect thing for our partner easier?

likes: tea:anything in teas except strong peppermint flavor. i love tea. snacks: i am vegetarian, so no meat please. and i like to try new things.

thanks:)

Farruska 09/11/2006 #

That's a great idea chengwa121, would be great if everybody did it as well :)

likes: tea: anything goes except mint (and it's really normal here in germany the minztee - mint tee) and as said before, definetly no grapefruit (even in mixture, ingredient, etc, it's a certain trip to the hospital so i'd ask my partner to spare me that one :) ) I also like to try strange new falvours combinations :D the latest was strawberry with vanille and camommile with ginger :D nice one hehe

snacks: open to anything really :)

have a great day!

iwcquilts 09/11/2006 #

I agree, I love certain teas but not others. I love raspberry tea, lemon tea, but no caommile. The fruity teas are my favorites. I collect tea cups so I would be very excited with one, but a mug is okay too. I love shortbread cookies also, but surprises are great. And like most, chocolate is #1 on my list.
Happy Tea Time Ladies! Iva

Farruska 09/12/2006 #

I just wanted to let my partner know that I might be late sending this one (no later than september the 30th), at least is related to tea as well : just added a new tea to my collection: tea for kidney stones .... yuck! have to take care of this, hope to be on time to send my package ;) Ligia

Dieuwertje 09/13/2006 #

I sent my littlebox today to my swap-partner. The postman said that it will be in the USA in 5 till 7 days.

user3340 09/19/2006 #

user2102 09/21/2006 #

user3340 09/30/2006 #

yikes...too big...sorry. i am new at this. i am going to post smaller images now ;)

Farruska 10/ 7/2006 #

Jill,

I've tried to contact you several times... have you received my package?

:)

Farruska 10/13/2006 #

JILL, being the organizer, doesn't make sense not answering back to emails, swap-bot messages or discussion board :( have you received my package ?

to my partner, nothing yet :( I think probably the postman is having a tea party at our expenses :(

Farruska 10/24/2006 #

yay! Once again Ellen (Libbybear) surprises me :) first of all thank you for the trouble and care on sending a second package when we both acknowledged that probably the first was being used by some postmen for his/her personal Tea Party. It's tea time on germany cold nights, with a wonderful country-design tea mug and an amazing assortiment of teas, from herbal to lavender! organic and caffeine free :) just perfect! To complete this already yummylicious treat, 2 chocolats (which by the way were I've already hadd to eat :D some sacrifices have to be done hehe), both very good but one really surprised me:) imagine maltesers but with coffee, orange, caramel, malteser and raisin flavours :) and of course a little enjoy note on a cute paper :) Thank you again Ellen!!
