Old Swap Thread!
Soooooo.
I did a silly thing a while back, and ordered 8 ounces of 52teas’ Malted ChocoMate. And while I still like it, there’s no way on earth I can envision myself finishing this much of it before it goes all stale! So I have either 3 or 4 unopened 2 oz. packages of it (yeah… I had another packet on the go before purchasing…. idiot!)
As well, I also have a full, unopened pouch of 52teas’ Flaming Chocolate Mate, and fairly full pouches of Melange Rooibos and Maple & Brown Sugar Oatmeal as well, none of which I really care for.
I unfortunately don’t have the time at the moment to work out a big, complicated swap where on my end I have to pack up a ton of teas, but if someone is interested in swapping for large samples of any/all of these, let me know and perhaps we can work something out! I’m in Canada, FYI.
A large swap of the chocolate mates would interest me; but i only have large quantities of honey bee by davidstea, Jessie’s tea by davidstea, hot cinnamon spice, peppermint leaves, and coconut black.
If you’re up for splitting up the Malted ChocoMate, I’d love to take you up on that. I’ll follow you!
well, i know that shipping for 14oz of tea is $10.55 but if you are up to swapping it for assorted flavored blacks in my thread, im game :)
Also Canadian and dying to try more 52teas! Would love to try malted choco mate! following you!
If kittenna runs out, or doesn’t have time for organizing things, I also have malted chocomate that i can share with folks, or help her out with the swap end of things since she and i are going to be meeting up at some point lol
Boxermama & tattooed_tea – within-Canada swaps are definitely doable! I should be following you both now (I have no idea why I wasn’t following you, Boxermama – I could have sworn I had done so previously). Send me a PM :)
yssah – Unfortunately flavoured blacks are generally not my thing :/ I’m looking to swap for smaller samples from a variety of companies, or larger quantities of a tea I particularly have interest in.
Artp – I wasn’t too worried about receiving back large quantities of single teas, but more of an equivalent amount of various things. Unfortunately, I took a glance through your cupboard and don’t really see anything that I find interesting at the moment :( (I’m sadly not a fan of any of those teas you listed.)
Jude – I have no problem at all splitting up the Malted ChocoMate, although as you’re in the US, I would prefer to do a swap large enough to make it worthwhile (i.e. hit the max weight for a package, which is perhaps 100g?) There are possibly other teas that I could pack up in larger quantities to hit that threshold. Send me a PM (I’m following you as well).
Does anyone have any rooibos/ honeybush from Della Terra or David’s Tea? I’m most interested in trying Oh Canada, Lemon Chiffon, and Lime Chiffon. And vanilla or caramel flavours would be good too.
You should look into stock options for Della Terra lol. Nobody loves their rooibos blends more then you :)
waiting for word if della terra plans on keeping lime chiffon or leaving it seasonal
From Della Terra (I message them on facebook a good bit): Hi James! Lime Chiffon is a permanent addition to our collection!
I have two new Rooibos teas if you are interested in trying them. You can PM if you’d like to swap.

@yappy, artp- Would you like to swap your lemon/ lime chiffon?
@marcel- Will send PM.
@TC: I nearly ordered from Della Terra today simply because I hadn’t ordered from them lately. I then remembered I ordered 60 teas from them less than a month ago :\
Still looking for Oh Canada and Autumn Leaves.
I want try as much rooibos from both companies as I can.
Yappy — 60 TEAS?!? Wow. I didn’t even know DT had that many teas, but I DO know they are really really good teas.
I haven’t tried either tea, so I wouldn’t know. I still want to find that out for myself.
lariel- added lemon chiffon to our swap that i sent a day or two ago, if you want more let me know
I ordered 9 try me packs of 5 teas each that I hadn’t tried. Then 15 or so others that I hadn’t tried but knew i’d like. I /think/ they have between 70 and 80 teas. and by the way. their oolong creme de la creme is very good.
I have Oh Canada and also Vanilla Cream Rooibos from Della Terra. Let me know if you’re interested in either.
i have 5 teas for someone.
i am looking for “stash” tea but not necessary for a trade.
dori’s tea cottage – read my lips
birthday w/sprinkles ( not very many sprinkles in the pack)
coconut
raspberry patch
totally tea-riffic hawaiian colada rooibos
and 9 vanilla cream totally tea-riffic bags ( i think its black tea)
1 cup has been made from each 1oz pack
Looking to see if anyone wants to swap before I send these to ebay?
New updated list!
Interested in Davids Teas, Teavana, Harney, Kusmi, Mariage Freres…..feel free to suggest something. I do like floral teas as long as they don’t taste artificial. Not a huge fan of Rooibos.
Raspberry Green tea (1oz) – Adagio Teas
Earl Grey Green (2oz) – Adagio Teas
Karamelee Rooibostee (purchased in Germany) (5oz)
Get Passionate 1oz – (bags) – Republic of Tea
Kiwi Lime Ginger 1oz – (bags) – Tea Forte
Emerald Bamboo Forest (1oz) – Teavana
I’m interested in the Almond black tea as well as the chocolate black tea! I have some Kusmi teas in my cupboard if you are interested! I can give you the whole tin of Spearmint Green Tea. The others I can give you samples of! Let me know :)
I have some DT Bravissimo I’d be willing to trade. It’s slightly under 1 oz, about 25 grams. I’d be interested in any of your Republic of Tea offerings. I’ve followed you, let’s chat :)
I would also be interested in the Adagio almond or chocolate. Have a look in my cupboard and see if there is anything of interest. :)
I just purchased Chocolate Orange from David’s Tea but I was silky & didn’t try it first – I have a 50g bag (less a small 1 cup sample) that I’d love to swap with somebody so let me know if you’re interested! Thanks :)
So my fiance’s favourite tea ever is Dragonheart from Teaopia and he’s slowly getting down to the last few cups of it. I’ve checked eBay and Amazon with no luck. And I’ve had him try every other tea I could think up to substitute. Nothing. Anyone have any ideas or any in their cupboard they’d be willing to part with? I’d really appreciate it :)
Sounds like an interesting tea. The only teas I know of that have bamboo in them are both from David’s Tea. Blazing Strawberry and Bamboozled. Perhaps you could blend either of them with some bai mu dan?
Harney & Sons actually sells pure bamboo (http://www.harney.com/bamboo-5-oz-loose-leaf-in-tin-1.html) that you could use for mixing with a raspberry white!
Even better! Or a pomegranate white? Not sure what pomegranate flowers taste like.
Thanks for the suggestions! I’m looking around here for bamboo now since shipping to Canada is $15 and I can’t justify $21 for 0.5 oz of bamboo haha. Now to search for pomegranate blossoms as well :)
I have quite a bit of dragonheart (I bought about 600 grams before it ran out) Make me an offer and I’ll happily part with some. : )
Does anyone have chocolate mint or caramel rooibos/ honeybush?
Black tea would be fine too.
I have both my own personal adagio-custom blend called Christmas Chocolate Mint (on steepster, if you look) that I could share (it’s a black tea) and also some Cacao Mint Black from Teavana.
anyone want some David’s Tea Cocoa Canela? it’s a very interesting blend….but just not right for my palette :) I have about an ounce!
On top of my swap list I have a bunch of English Tea Store teas, mostly looseleaf but two bagged teas I am hoping to swap.
Looseleaf, each still in unopened bags with ziploc type seals and each is one ounce:
Assam
English Breakfast blend number 2 decaf
A couple weeks ago I ordered some samplers from the ETS but they decided to substitute a bunch of the teas I actually wanted so I wound up with way more of the same types of tea. I would prefer to swap whole ounces but will make smaller swaps.
I also have a few other teas from open packets I am willing to swap:
English Tea Store:
Maple tea (bagged) – I like it but I have 20 something bags of it, more than I will drink for a long time.
Godiva Roche flavored rooibos (looseleaf) – I didn’t like it, my mother seemed to think it ok so maybe it’s just a matter of taste. About 1 oz with about 3-4 teaspoons taken from it when I made a pot of it.
Twinings:
Prince of Wales (looseleaf) – I gave away a lot of this tea over Christmas but I think I have 1.5+ ounces left. It tastes too smokey for me but a lot of people like it.
I’m in the US and would prefer swapping with others in the US because shipping is complicated.
I might have a few others, but I think that’s enough to start a swap. I love Earl Grey, flavored teas, pumpkin, chai, desert teas, etc. But I love trying unusual teas too. Most interested in 52 Teas, Davids Tea, Della Terra, Kally’s Tea but those aren’t the only brands I’d consider.
I’m interested in the Maple, Godiva, and Caramel Toffee. Take a look at my cupboard.
Godiva Rooche flavored rooibos
Vanilla chai
Ontario breakfast
English Tea Store:
Maple tea
Scottish Caramel Toffee Pu-erh
Twinings:
Prince of Wales
Hello! I was hoping to try some of the flavored matchas from Red Leaf, i’ve never tried any before, but the Bavarian Cream, anything Vanilla, anything sweet and dessert-like (cakes, cheesecake etc) would really appeal to me. The majority of what’s in my cupboard would be up for swap! (Minus a few things that I only have a tsp or so left, discontinued Davidsteas for example) Let me know if you have some matcha to spare! Even if just enough to try a cup of a couple different flavors, i know it’s not cheap but that’s why i wouldn’t want to buy without trying!! :)
I’m currently waiting for my order from Red Leaf to come. I ordered boysenberry matcha. If you want to try it, let me know and I can send you some when it comes.
Hey! As I posted below, I have a bunch that I just got. Have a look in my cupbiard and let me know what interests you!
Are you still wanting to do this. I just opened up 6 of my matcha types (all I want to have open at the same time…probably) but I have (green matcha, classic grade, distinct flavouring): berry matcha, creme brulee matcha, bavarian cream matcha, and french vanilla matcha. Also I have some of (black matcha, robust flavouring): belgium chocolate matcha, and caramel matcha.
