I know there are a few of us coffee and loose leaf lovers, so I decided we're going to have a little fun with it. I am starting the Official ILF Coffee/Tea Swap. Simply post a list of what you have so others can see what you're sippin' on. If you see something you like, setup a trade with that person. Plain and simple. If you want to send someone some tea but they have nothing you want, then it's up to you whether or not to go through with it. Someone might do the same for you, so pay it forward! There aren't many rules to this, so let's all be on the honor system. We're family. I know sometimes you can get annoyed with family, but blood is blood.

The only issue I can foresee is quantity. If you have a scale then this isn't a problem. If you're setting up a trade with someone, agree on how much you should send. For example, when I drink coffee with my Aeropress, I use 14-15 grams per cup. With tea, I normally go by the bag (or a little more). At least make sure you send enough for a cup!

TEA LIST:
Purple Oolong - World Tea House
Organic Jasmine Black Pearls - David's Tea
Golden Pu'erh - David's Tea
Roasted Maté - Teavana
Copper Knot Hongcha - Teavana
Jade Oolong Chai - David's Tea
Eastern Beauty - Teavana
Dragonwell - Teavana

COFFEE LIST
Selecto Serrano - Straight out of Cuba
William Spartivento Sumatra - COSTCO

Unfortunately, I don't have much coffee to offer at the moment. I normally would, but I'm trying to get through the bag of Sumatra first. It's fucking huge.

LET'S FUCKING GET THIS GOING!

Here's what I have. Nothing exotic right now, because I haven't found a good co-op around here just yet, and since I lost my car, I probably won't anytime soon. :| I can't wait to start buying looseleaf again, though. I want my rose pedal tea.

Teas:
Bentley's Jasmine Green Tea
Alvita Caffeine Free Melatonin Tea Bags Peppermint Flavor
Prince of Peace 100% Organic Premium Peony White Tea (USDA Organic)
Red Rose Earl Grey

Coffee:
Dunkin Donuts Decaf
Big Ole' Bucket of Folgers Gourmet Supreme Dark Roast (my primary coffee for now)
And I also have a couple cups left of a Nature's Place Organic 100% Arabica Medium Roast (USDA Organic, too)

I like the idea of this thread though. Unfortunately, I've got no coffee right now and the tea I've got is mostly swag.

I think I've got unopened tins of Rishi Jamaica Rooibos and Moroccan Mint, but I wanna keep 'em both. Oh, well. I'll have to gather a stash of tea to trade.

hmmm.....

well i do have two very good earl grey teas. they are both in tea bag form. i have metropolitan tea company and twinnings that was brought over from england by my girls bros lady.

i would be more than willing to send a few bags of each if anyone was interested.

I WANT TIMS. I WANT TIMS. I'LL TRADE YOU SUMTIN I GOT FER IT.

Coffee + tea at the same time.
Spreeze / Yuanyang / Yummy.
You're welcome.

Oh man I've never tried mixing tea and coffee.....

I think at one point or another I've now tried 100% of the choices that Republic of Tea offers through their catalogue.

50-50 Green Tea and Dark roast. Just mix the coffee grounds with the tea leaves.

It's so good. Just drink it "black".

This is a great idea, but all I drink is grocery store stuff, so . . .
