Old Swap Thread!
I am new to the tea-swopping world, but I have a 40g bag of David’s Tea Dr Chocolate I would love to swop for something new! I have only made one cup from it and decided it was not for me, so it’s nearly full. :)
I am new to swopping as well. I have 64g (about as I weighed in the bag) of The London Tea Room Orange Blossom Green. I do not care for it as it has flavors of Lemongrass in it not sure it DOES have lemongrass but I taste lemongrass nonetheless. I would be interested in a trade if you think you would like it.
Are you in the USA?
Sounds great! I love orange blossom. I am in Canada so I don’t know if that affects whether you want to swop, but if so, please send me a PM. :)
I have 100g of David’s Tea Cranberry Pear that I’m not very fond of, I’ve only used about 2 teaspoons of it so it’s mostly full and I would like to trade it for something new. I also have a sample packet of Acquired Taste’s At Romance tea I’d like to swap.
I’d be willing to swap with you. Check out my cupboard and let me know if there is anything you would like.
I’d love to try the Almond Biscotti. I’m in Canada if that affects you desire to swap.
Updated list 3-12-12
- Adagio Spearmint: 1.5 oz I believe
- Adagio Rooibos 3 oz
- Ciao Amaretto small bag
- Teavana Youthberry Orange sample
- Serene Teaz Cafe Latte 2 oz bag, made a pot or two from it
- Jar of SimpliciTEA: blend from a local family with vanilla rooibos, spearmint, dried rosehip, camomile, and raspberry leaves not sure how much is in there and I haven’t tried it because I don’t like the smell of chamomile
- Adagio Peppermint 1.5 oz bag, opened only to smell
US Preferred.
I’ll take the Jar of SimpliciTEA and the sample of Teavana Youthberry Orange sample. If no one else wants Spearmint or Peppermint I’ll take those too. You can take a look in my cupboard for anything you’d like to have. And I am in the US.
Invader Zim, there’s really anything in your cabinet that’s striking my fancy at the moment.
You’ll have to follow me so I can PM you then. Also, there are a few teas that I will not be able to send for at least a month if you would like to try them because I keep them at my parents house instead of at my home. Those ones are the White Ambrosia from Teaforte, White Christmas from Harney and Sons, and Earl Grey Green from Adagio.
Yea, I’m just not a huge plain tea drinker and I primarily drink blacks, mates, or herbals. If you can wait a bit until my housing situation settles and I have a bit more freedom financially I can just send you the stuff you’ve requested, provided that no one makes me an offer I can’t refuse between now and then.
Sure thing, take your time and let me know what specifically you would like to sample from my cupboard then.
hi. went to Halcyon tea (great shop here in san diego) for monthly purchases. never had fujian black before, but got an ounce of something called Emperor’s Red. tho it’s fine tea, i don’t love it.
anyone want it for free?
btw, i’m new here. hope i’m doing this right…
I have these for swap (04/02/2012):
Adagio Decaf Earl Grey (loose) – 1oz
Adagio Lemon Grass (loose) – 1oz
Adagio Peppermint (loose) – 1oz
Great Mountain Pure Canadian Ginseng Slices – 1oz
Lipton Vanilla Caramel Truffle Black Tea (bagged) – *new box wrapped 20 bags
PG Tips loose leaf – about 1/4 box left
Taylors of Harrogate Raspberry & Vanilla – 3 bags
Taylors of Harrogate Yorkshire Tea (loose) – *1oz
Tipu’s Instant Black Chai – about 1-2oz left
Also, please check out my cupboard! Some may be unopened samples or teas.
I don’t need a 1:1 swap since I want to get rid of these teas. I love all sorts of loose leaf teas. My favorites is milk oolong. I don’t like fruity flavored teas or teas with Jasmine. Please send me a msg & let me know so we can arrange a swap! Thank you!
bumpdate? updating my list with some other stuff woohoo
updated as of 4/21
Here’s what I have to swap:
TeaGschwendner Rooibush Panna Cotta Rhubarb Cream – 34g (separated into 2 17g bags)
Tropical Tea Company Creme au Caramel Rooibos – 2 oz
Mahamosa Black Gunpowder – 1 oz
La Route Des Indes Chai – 15g
Argo Tea Holiday Dream Green – enough for at least 5-8 cups
Teavana Prosperous Peach Oolong*
Teavana Tarocco Blood Orange*
*- I have big full tins of these and would be happy to share
I also have a box of about 50 different teabags ranging from chais to fruit tisanes and chocolate rooibos blends.
I’d prefer US/Canada only but if you REALLY want something we can work it out. I like pretty much anything, favorite things are rooibos, oolong, green, and I always like chocolate. Not really a fan of chai or strong hibiscus flavors. And you can use my shopping list too for ideas.
I would be interested in Adagio Rhubarb Green, Tropical Tea Company Cookies ‘n’ Cream Black, and ZenTea Black Cocoa Coconut. I have a swap list on page 15, and also feel free to check out my cupboard. Please PM me if interested.
If brandy3392 doesn’t want the whole amount of what you’re offering, I’d be interested in sample sizes (i.e. a few cups’ worth) of Adagio Rhubarb Green, ZenTea Black Cocoa Coconut, Tropical Tea Company Creme au Caramel Rooibos, and the Tazo Cucumber White. If you’re cool with just sending samples and not the whole amount? Pretty much anything in my cupboard is up for grabs in terms of a sample size (unless I’m nearly out of it). I haven’t swapped before, but I’m in Canada
I would be interested in doing a swap. I am interested in the La Route Des Indes Chai (1 bag), and 1/2 or 1/3 of the TeaGschwendner Rooibush Panna Cotta Rhubarb Cream. Check out my cupboard. A lot of what I have is small samples, but we can figure something out. I will follow you so we can PM :)
Hello! I’m interested in the White Swiss Truffle Rooibus ( enough for cup or two, if you’re ok with not sending it all), the other bag of La Route Des Indes Chai. I’ll go ahead and follow you. Pretty much anything I have in my cupboard is fine with me, as long as I have enough.
I would really like to try some tea from redleaftea.com if any one has some they would like to swap I have a lot more to offer than is in my cupboard – I just have not had time to list them all. Let me know what you would be interested in and I can let you know what I have to trade. Thanks :)
Before I got into loose leaf, I bought way too much bagged tea. I recently bought a large amount of tea, and now I feel all this bagged tea that I will probably never drink is going to waste. This tea is just looking for a good home. I wouldn’t mind if you wanted to send a small sample or two in return, but I’m mostly trying to clear this tea out.
Twinings Pumpkin Spice Chai – 8 bags, please just take these, I really don’t like them
Vinis Litchi Black – 7 bags
Celestial Seasonings Honey Vanilla Chamomile – 10 bags
Stash Mango Passionfruit Herbal – 8 bags
Stash Chocolate Hazelnut Decaf – 7 bags
Stash English Breakfast – 11bags
Stash Chai Spice – 18 bags
Lipton Lemon Herbal – 2 bags
Lipton Ginger Twist Herbal – 2 bags
Lipton Orange Herbal – 3 bags
Lipton Chamomile Herbal – 1 bag
If anyone wants to take these off my hands, please let me know!
Also, I have some loose leaf teas I’m willing to swap.
Adagios Oriental Spice – probably about half an ounce or so
Adagios Green Rooibos Bonita – Sampler size minus one cup’s worth, little less than an ounce
The Mountain Tea Company’s Four Seasons Spring Oolong – an ounce minus one cup’s worth
I’m more fond of black teas, and I’m specifically interested in DAVIDsTEA and 52teas. If you have Read My Lips or Forever Nuts, I’m really wanting to try these, so have a look at my cupboard. I’m sure we can work something out.
I wouldn’t mind trying the Green Rooibos Bonita from Adagio! Check out my cupboard and see if anything entices you! I also have a few other things that I haven’t added so feel free to PM me and I might have something else you’d be interested in!
