This exchange is for tea lovers, a chance to try different teas from different places. Each month I will assign you a partner and you will send your partner at least 3-5 different kinds of teas to try.

This is a monthly exchange and you may come and go as you please.

Newcomers are always welcome!

Confirming :D

Confirming.

I do not think I've received any November teas yet.

Confirming for December. I haven't got my teas for November since Lemmy just mailed them Sat. ;)

I removed the notes about receipt of teas for November since November isn't quite over yet. :wink:

I haven't received my November teas yet either. A lot of us haven't, but there is still one week left to go.

confirmed.

I have not received September's teas yet and I know Lemonitsa didn't receive October's.

Confirming.

Consider me confirmed!

confirming

eta: Azuki sent tea in October to me :)

Confirming .... as long as we will be able to mail it out by the 10th or so - I really don't want to go to the PO between Dec 10 & the 24th at all!

Waiting for Nov's teas too. :whistle:

Confirming for December :)

and just like Terra57 said for me already, I haven't gotten October teas yet.

cheers!

Opps. I spoke too soon as I got my September teas from Cowgirl-up today. Nice selection too. Thanks Katie.

I'm in again this month please. Thanks! I'm really enjoying all the yummy flavors to try. This was a very cool idea for an exchange. :D

I am still waiting to receive my teas from September. :shrug:

confirming

confirming. :wave: Am looking forward to participating

Confirming!

I have posted partners for those who have confirmed participation for December as of today. If you haven't yet confirmed, don't worry, there is still plenty of time. I just wanted to post partners early for those of us who are anxious to get an early start due to the fact that December is a very busy postal month because of the holidays.

:D

Drats! I missed you by 9 minutes zosime! I will have a partner for you soon, don't worry!

:peek:

I'm confirming, too. I've posted an update in the Nov. Tea Exchange thread. Sorry I haven't been around that much lately.

I need to take this month off as I have tons of packages to mail out for the holidays. But I plan to be back for January's swap.

I saw the update, thank you! Glad to have you back! :wave:

We understand Peachy! We'll miss you! :kiss:

Confirming... if it's not too late.
But basically you can always count me as a confirmed. If I couldn't make it for whatever reason I will give you guys a heads up.

Alrighty zuke! No, it's not too late at all.

I am mailing Oct. and Nov. teas tomorrow and would like to participate again in December.

I wasn't totally sure, so I double checked, and yep - I was right. I haven't received my teas for October yet either. :(

Okay cowgirl! Can you also let us know if you have received your teas from September ?

Everyone has a partner now, even though I didn't receive confirmation from everyone to date. I posted early to account for the busy holiday season.

Please let us know when you have mailed and received your teas each month. Quite a few of us still haven't yet received their teas from the past several months. If you have received your teas, but haven't yet reported, please do so as soon as possible. I know we are all busy busy busy, but let's try not to leave anyone out.

Enjoy your teas everyone!

:kiss:

Mine are packaged and ready to go out with the morning mail. I just got some interesting new flavors and they smell soooo yummy, I can't wait to try them myself. :drool:

Oh yes! I had to check. September was from ramson. That was a yummy month (as usual)! :D

My teas are packaged up and sitting in the box for outgoing mail, so they should be in the mail tomorrow. Terra, be sure you check out the cool old $0.29 stamps I found lying around...two of them = $0.58 -- the amount for an overweight letter.

My teas are going out tomorrow too! I hope you like my selection msjoanna. :D

Cool as I collect stamps. Thanks.

I'm mailing out Nim's tea when I get my tea I ordered in the mail. :)

Btw, I got a couple bags of tea today from cafekat over at bookcrossing.
Has anyone heard of two leaves and a bud? It's a organic tea company. She sent me 2 bags of Organic Lemon Rooibos. Looks yummy! Can't wait to try it. ;)

Thanks so much msjoanna for the teas and lovely old stamps. You were right.

(2) Ahmad Blackcurrant Tea
(2) Bigelow Green Tea with Peach tea (sounds yummy)
(2) Organic Stash Earl Grey Black & Green tea
(2) Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon Spice tea (think I'll try this now)
(1) Yogi Egyptian Licorice tea
(3) Repbulic of Tea Red tea-African Rooibos with vanilla

This is going to be an enjoyable week with teas and reading. :hug:

NMZ's teas are on their way!

I saw that brand the last time I was in Fresh Market and I almost got some! Haven't seen it anywhere else though ... Fresh Market is kind of an upscale, gourmet type specialty store though and they always have brands or flavors that other places don't. In fact, they recently started carrying your fav, CS Peach Apricot Honeybush, so when you run low, let me know and I'll send you some!

Luckaye -

I mailed your tea today. Hope they reach you quickly!

Oh how excitement! :woot2: :party:
