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, but you must either "Confirm" or "Skip" each month by posting a reply in the thread. You can "Cancel" at any time... this means your name will be removed from the list.

Be sure to let me know by OCTOBER 14th (that's a Wednesday) if you cannot participate this month.
Partners will be announced no later than the 16th.

Newcomers are always welcome!

Sign-ups CLOSED for OCTOBER!

Please post when you have mailed and received your teas!

NOTE: I left all the SKIPS from last month, so if you want to swap tea this month, just post and I'll update the list, thanks!

Yea!! I'm ready for more tea. My daughter loved all the Chai tea that Lemonitsa sent in August. This is a good thing as it gives us something to talk about in these "teen" years. :hug: It's nice to have a conversation about something that doesn't end in an argument.

Lori,
I know what you mean! It just bowled me over completely when I discovered that my moody 12 yr old boy was a tea fiend! It's also really nice to be able to offer him something to drink that isn't pop that he'll actually drink :lol:

:nod: got you all marked down to here. :nod:
