Tea swap # 8

Taikuri, thanks for hosting this.#7 was my first tea swap and everyone sent such nice tea. I love the fact that it's international.I realy enjoy receiving and sending unusual tea!

Hooray, i was wondering when the swap would show up! I love this swap. It is just so easy.

Oh good! I'm in! I enjoyed the previous swap so much, glad I didn't miss this one.

Lene'

I have had such wonderful partners in past tea swaps, and such interesting teas. Can't wait to see what I get this time around !!

I also can't wait to join again.

To my to be swappies i realy like a little note with the tea's so i now who send them to me.

Greetings, Dieuwertje

Looking forward to the swap! :) I'll be out of town the 9th through the 13th when we have match ups, but I'll get my package off in the mail on the 14th for sure!!

I would so love to join this swap, but I can't have caffeine for medical reasons and that limits the selection for me quite a bit. Everyone enjoy their exotic teas for me.

Okay, I got sent a message after leaving my previous comment asking me to join anyway, so here I am. How can I resist? I really hate giving specific instructions in swaps b/c I feel jerky doing it, but I have to here. I can only use decaf or caffeine free teas. Most herbals would work. Sorry to be picky.

bloodrecuted, There are alot of great herbal and caffeine free teas out there...so don't feel bad - it's good you joined!

Hi, I'm from Australia, and just as a favour, can my partner please send non-herbal tea? Labelled or not, Customs seem to take it, every time!

I just can't let this one get by. My friend was in a previous tea swap and had wonderful teas sent to her. I'm in :)

im new to these, is there any special way to package the teabags in the envelope at all, or just a regular loose bags in a wee envelope of its own to stop flavours mixing?

Hey I would love to do this but can newbes sign up too? I will send out my tea if you let me in.

Any kinds of teabags are good as long as you pack them in a plastic bag :) And those teabags without any paper bag should be packed separately, so that the flavours don´t get mixed!

Newbies are welcome too, so hixy, just join us :)

for some reason i can't do math today! 18 tea bags in total? :)

Yes. I know I have brain fry sometimes. No, more often than sometimes!

Okay, I want to play. I love to watch for the mail. Happy swapping and sipping!

please if possible : teabags wrapped sepparatly in a little paper bag because my daughter collects them ! Thank you .

Hello! i do think i have 6 different tea types. so i'm going to give this a try. I prefer herbal tea. caffeine is okay. i do not enjoy fruit based teas, mints, or bitter teas. the smell so good but taste so bitter! lol.

If possible, please send me teabags in envelopes as I swap to sxtend my collection, not for drinking. :) If not, it`s ok.

I might have written it a bit unclear, Ill of course have teabags without envies if you dont have them. those bags will be enjoyed by me and my family and friends. :)

For the future tea swaps, is it possible to have 5 teabags instead of 6? Here 6 bags weigh 20g, which is the lowest limit for postage, which keeps a little room for tape to secure the envie, custom label etc. 21 g and up require a double postage and postage is already very high in my country.

articgirl64, if you have me as a partner please only send the 5 teabags. It is fine with me.

Lamazon, I am so upset. You aren't one of my partners this time.Boo-hoo

Barb, Sara, and Chrissy,

Your packages are on their way.

Marcia

articgirl,

if you have me, 5 bags would be fine also...

Marcia

NieceDenice, thank you. Im afraid you are not my partner this time. Im squezed in 6 bags, but could only put a tiny note inside and one coudnt be costum, labeled. The envies are 21 g and I hope they will go as 20. Hubby said he could send from Finland this coming weekend, its cheaper and seem not to be as strict as Norway is. Through the years I`ve had some 21 g letters returned to me for fine postage. Not fun. :(

articgirl64, if you have me as a partner please only send the 5 teabags. It is fine with me also :-)

artigirl64, if you have me, five bags are fine. :)

artic girl, maybe you can message your partner(s). i'm sure they will understand and comply. being just over the limit is always dissapointing.

Im afraid none of you ladies are my partner, but thank you a lot. The teabags are already in the envies and ready to go with my hubby. Ill cross my fingers that it will work out fine this time too. I`d no problems last time as the weight was the same as this time.

If anyone has any, i really love loose tea. I have an antique infuser I love to use.

Ana, Artsykira and Schlabs your teas are on route.

Luvsseattle, Idd, and starsgoneblue--- your teas will be traveling to the postoffice shortly. : )

Mine are not sent yet. My finger was too fast. I guess I'll get busy and get them mailes tomorrow!

Envies have left house. Hope hubby find time to go to Finland to post them this weekend.

Hi Girls,

I have send my envelopes yesterday to: Lamazon, Luna and Laststraw.

Greetings, Dieuwertje

Springy, Wiccangal50 & Brooke, your tea will be in Monday's mail!

Hi!

So it looks like we have one no-sender here again :( The account of "accidents" has been deleted. I´ll contact the swappers, who should send or receive something from her.

Taikuri, I reciever your swap today Love these teas and the variety. thanks

I got some great teas today! I wish it was time to rate ...

Last week (so fast!) I received a lovely selection of teas from Susie (mnsqb), including some that I've been wanting to try but haven't yet got around to, like the Pu-erh and the Prince of Wales teas. Your little envies were so cute! Thank you!

Today I received great envie from Angela (i'myoruhuckleberry) with some interesting teas, I'm especially excited to try the citron and rosehip and hibiscus teas. Thank you!

This has been great fun! I'm curious to see where my third partner is from...all of mine were international and so far, all of mine coming into me are domestic.

Idd, Got your teas today. Thank you so much!

I got a lovely selection of green tea from P-fang today. Thanks a lot for the tea and the chocolate you enclosed.

Dear Kristin, I got your package of teas today! Some of them look really interesting, and I can't wait to try them! Thanks so much!

Sorry, mine is a little late. Taxes ruined my whole week, last week, as I do ours and we own our own business. Anyways, no excuses, I am sorry for not getting these out till today. I have two in the US and one in Norway.

~delish smelling treats arrived today!

Thanks so much casey!!!!!

lulubird6, I rec your great selection of tea today. Will try some and some is for my collection. Thanks a lot.

northernstar

ArtsyKira - your package arrived today. Thank you very much for the teas and the beautiful journal!

boopgirly, i got your teas. i've tried two and they've been delisious. i've been wanting to try the carmel flavor teas. thanks so much!

eloisa, I received your cute package today! Thank your for the cute little card. Is it a moo card? I love the painting that's on it. You sent so many teas! They look so yummy, I'm actually glad it's cold and rainy out today so I can try some of my new teas. Can you tell me what the Da Terra tea is? It says "Reductor de apetite-linha" and then "cha soluvel" I think it's a diet tea? Anyway, cool! Thanks!

Yippee! I got some great teas from Brooke. Thanks. I sent my teas out 4-13-07 have any of them been received yet? Let me know.

Did anyone rec the swaps from me? Please post here or send me a message. They were sent 14. April. Thanks. Else/arcticgirl64

Laststrow your package arrived safely today ! Thanks !!!

articgirl64- if I am one of your partners, I wont know till Sunday pm if they came. Im at my brothers house 300 miles from home for this week. Ill email as soon as I can get it all checked in.

Anastasia, thanks for the teas and for the George Orwell article. I really enjoyed reading it! :)

dieuwertje, I received the teas today, I just love the packaging on them, especially the tree hugger. Thanks! The only one I knew was roobios, I am excited to try them all. I also keep the packaging they are in, I am thinking of maybe making and ATC from them. I have never made one so thought tea bag packaging would make a good one. I also keep the cancelled stamps, the stamps are cool.

I like to say to my 3 partners that their great tea's did arreive a little wile ago. I was ill at the moment the arreived and i forget it later to put a message here.

Thank you: Moon-Asanti, Ohsarajean and Cpfaves

Greetings, Dieuwertje

NieceDenise, you was not my partner this time. Have a safe trip home. arcticgirl64

I haven'nt received any from Springy :(

Hi mcall! Your swap package was sent to you on April 19th from Israel. It usually takes a little longer for it to arrive. As you can see on my profile - I always send my swaps, and I have the ratings to prove it. I'd appreciate it if you could wait a bit longer for the swap package to arrive before rating me with a non-send. If you won't recieve it, I'd absolutely send you a new one. Please have a bit more patience before letting the world know I didn't send you your tea, you could send a private message before you did that...

Hi Springy, Sure I'll wait a little longer. I'm sure I'm a little skiddish about late swaps because I have been burned on a few and my ratings have dropped from a 5 to a to a 4.9 because of a 1-2 day late swap arrival date on 2 swaps with no message or explanation until I contacted them ! I did send you a private message yesterday.

timanna and sophiejune, did you rec the tea I sent you 14. April? Please tell me so I can re-send if not rec. Ive a busy time as Im off on holiday in less than two weeks and want to have everything straight before I go. Dont want to come home to a bad rating because I didnt knew my swaps were missing. Of course I hope they have arrived, but I like to have it confirmed as I take swapping very seriously.

Raydance, your teas arrived today...I'm drinking the turkish apple now! Thank you, Elizabeth
