Authori+ea & Tea Escapade Co-op Tea Swap
How it works: Jessica (Authori+ea) and Nikki (Tea Escapade) have decided to throw together a tea swap involving anyone & everyone who wants to sign up. The swap will take place every two weeks (allowing new members to sign up). There is no limit on members, and membership is free.
Each member will be asked to mail two samples of loose leaf (or 4 loose sachet/silken pouch; 2 of each kind) to someone else every two weeks. These samples can be sent via standard mail, and each sample has to be at least 1/2 oz. (or two silken bags). Regular tea bags cannot count as part of the swap, but can be included as bonus.
Each sample sent MUST include information on origin/brand/type. Any and all information possible is appreciated so that other swappers can explore and have information to purchase or research if desired.
Who’s involved: This swap is open to anyone and everyone. Keep in mind that a swap involves giving someone else your address, so if you are not comfortable doing so, please do not request membership. Each month an address will be passed to a different member and tea samples will be sent.
How to sign up: Please turn in your information prior to the 1st and the 15th of each month. Because the Swap occurs on the 1st and the 15th, membership will be closed for the session on the last day of the month and the 14th, respectively. E-mail the following information to Nikki:
- Name:
- Mailing Address:
- Phone Number:
- Sample Preferences (if any):
- Sample Restrictions (are you allergic to any herbs or ingredients?):
Additional information:
Rules & Regs: Each member of the swap must mail 1 tea package (that includes 2 samples) every two weeks, and can expect to receive 1 tea package every two weeks. Your package has about 10 days to be received; if you do not mail your sample you will not be permitted to participate in the next swap.
You can receive bonus samples from Jessica (Authori+ea) for submitting a short review of your tea(s). You will receive one additional sample per review (limit two per swap, obviously). Please include pertinent information including name, brand, etc.
The Co-op Tea Swap is for personal purposes only; not for commercial use. Solicitation of members is not allowed. Those who do use this group for solicitation will be removed from the swap.
