[QUOTE=Batsinma Belfry] Where are all the tea drinkers? [/QUOTE] I’ve looked through my tea-cabinet, and all I’ve got that looks swappable is some loose-leaf Hanley’s vanilla infused black tea; the bag is opened, but nearly full. If anyone’s interested in that, I’ll sign on. ---

Should we note which varieties of tea we have so that we might pair up with someone who’s looking to try that particular one? I don’t want to send my rooibos to someone who can’t stand it when there’s someone who’d be interested in it! ---

I thought about that. But figured most people would want to be suprised and/or have a chance to try something new. And it’s not just about sending teas you don’t want, you can add a sample of your favorites too. ---

I think my location makes it dfficult to swap tea although it is one of my pet loves. I remember (back in the days) Bentalls store (Kingston London England) producing a Christmas tea. Consisted of cinnamon, tea (obviously) and other festive flavours, I only bought one tin but could kick myself now as I should have bought at least ten tins. The flavours were astounding. These days I have to subsist on twinings four red fruits et al. ---
