How to take part in the tea swap
[This is a rebloggable version of this permapage.]
Deadline: Not yet decided. Will let you know ASAP, but feel free to send an ask if you want to poke me about it!
Print out this packing slip and fill in your details. This involves:
Any unwanted ingredients we should know about, such as caffeine.
Your page for the zine, if you would like to make one.
Put between 5 and 20 tea bags into a parcel. There are some requirements:
Tea bags should be individually wrapped and labeled.
If your tea contains caffeine, please write a large C in a circle, like the copyright symbol, on each tea bag’s packet.
If you can, please make sure each tea bag packet has a list of ingredients on it.
Please make sure that your parcel is waterproof.
Your tea bags. They can be all the same, or all different, it’s up to you.
A waterproof envelope for returning your tea bags to you, with your address written on it.
Send postage for your return parcel.
I’m in the UK, so if you are in the UK ideally you should weigh your parcel, use the Royal Mail price finder to calculate the price of posting, and enclose stamps to the value of postage.
If you’re not in the UK, weigh your parcel and then contact me about arranging postage costs some other way: cassian DOT lodge AT gmail DOT com.
Email me for my address to send your tea bags! cassian DOT lodge AT gmail DOT com. Or message me in some other way, if you already know me.
Taking into account your ingredient preferences, I will send to you as many different tea bags as possible that other people sent in. Theoretically, everyone will get a variety of new teas to try.
If you have allergies or intolerances, I may not be able to ensure that the tea I send to you is suitable for you and/or safe to drink. Please take care when drinking weird tea from some rando on the internet; I cannot be responsible!
