I'm stealing an idea from another tea community that I belong to.
I'd like to organize a tea swap. LadyArden and I were talking and we think it'd be fun.
Is anybody interested?

Haha! Still here, alive well and tea drinking. It was very kind of jzero to send me his left overs 
I took his unwanted Earl Grey Bravo camping (actually it was a civil war re-enactment) and it was very well recived! My mother, in fact, won't drink any tea but Earl Grey, and Earl Grey Bravo is by far her favorite.
I would love to participate in a tea swap. I have done so in the past, with good results. I could organise it if no one objects!

Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cozy, dosn't try it on.

Maybe we could organize it together - I've got a few ideas on how to run it, but the other teaswap I mentioned is the first one I've participated in, so I'd appreciate your seasoned advice!
I was thinking that everybody could send their tea, along with a small amount for postage, to the swap organizer. The organizer would then send the participants a package containing a sample of what each person submitted. This was suggested in the other tea community I belong to and it sounded like a really good way to do it - that way, if somebody says they'll participate but doesn't end up sending any tea, nobody loses out because that person just doesn't receive.
So what do you think? Any suggestions?

Hrm, as long as you don't send our own teas back to us. 
What about loose leaf tea? Would everything have to be separated out before sending? Wouldn't this get a bit complicated if someone asks for specific preferences, like only decaf or no greens or other preferences?
Just a few things to think about. That does sound good that no one gets a non-responsive partner though. 3 cheers to whoever organizes this, good luck!
Ps. If that person wanting to get rid of their Earl grey bravo is still around I'll happily take it off your hands (and trade you a nearly full tin of carmel tea).
