I <3 Tea: Loose Tea Swap

Send your partner three different types of loose tea.

The tea cannot be out of opened bagged tea. It must be bought as a loose tea variety. Please no medicinals (if enough people are interested in swapping medicinals, we can start up a separate swap). Herbals and fruit blends are okay.

Each type should be two teaspoons (or more if your partner wants to spoil you). I never measure my tea out but I've read one teaspoon is enough to brew one cup of hot tea.

Please make sure the tea is wrapped and labeled with the type of tea and also any additional ingredients. Please wrap the tea in plastic wrap, baggies, zip lock bags, or foil and not just wrapped in paper or cardboard (packages can get wet). I've received swaps with loose tea wrapped in tissue paper that had gotten wet, yuck. I want to make sure no one else get's unappealing, unusable, soggy tea =]

Another nice thing would be to include any special brewing instructions that are specific to the type of tea you are sending. Sometimes the temperature and the brewing time can affect the way the tea tastes. This is not required, but just something sweet to do to make sure your partner gets to really enjoy the teas you send.

Sender's choice. But please check your partner's profile for dislikes and allergies. Try and send tea your partner will enjoy. Keep in mind, if you receive 2 teaspoons of 3 different kinds of loose tea, rate a 5.

Please remember to include a little note with your username for easy rating.

Enjoy!!!
