Cards and tea!

[krait]

It's time, and more than time, for my annual Cards and Tea post!

For anyone who's new to my journal, every year I offer to send cards and/or tea to anyone who's interested. You don't have to follow me, and you don't have to send me anything! This is my 'thank you' to fandom at large for being a wonderful place.


Here's the poll for 2019 Cards and Tea. As usual, all responses are locked for my eyes only, to protect names and addresses. (Reminder: please don't forget to include a name that goes above your address!)

Poll #23041 Holiday Cards and Tea 2019

Open to: Registered Users, detailed results viewable to: Just the Poll Creator, participants: 7

The fine print: Feel free to discuss your tea preferences in the comments, as well as any particular things I might need to know about mailing (e.g. if you'll be out of town during X period and unable to receive mail, etc.)

I generally have black teas, though there's a few greens and herbals in the mix so if you're into those be sure to sing out! (If you are brave enough to want three ounces of something called "Reindeer Fuel", be especially sure to sing out! It was an accidental acquisition and I am emphatically not a mate fan.)


This post and poll will remain active throughout December (and quite possibly into January), so never fear it's too late to sign up - though of course your card/tea may arrive after the holiday. :D


(If you are one of the people who would like to send tea as well as receive it, thank you! I love non-sweet black or white teas. Plain teas or teas with various flavours are welcome, but I'm not a fan of anise/liquorice, vanilla, cinnamon, or very sweet fruits, e.g. papaya.)

I'd love to send you tea! If you have an address I can send it to that'd be great.

I will be at the address I provided starting January 5, but that should the only relevant info that has an effect on when you send it. Incidentally, I love mate.

I would love any herbal tisanes! Anything from the actual tea plant has too much caffeine for me these days, sadly.

That Reindeer Fuel sure sounds like a choice. o_____o although nothing will beat the tea my grandma gifted me once which, among other things, contained popcorn!

I am absolutely up for trying Reindeer Fuel. I rarely drink herbal tea and already have plenty, but all forms of caffeine-bearing tea are my kind of thing.

I am up for trying some of the Reindeer Fuel! Greens, too.

I always love your blends, and you've inspired me to start creating my own, so if you'd like a few of my attempts I will send you some. (Assuming you're still at your old address? Mine has changed, as you can see.)

I have no particular preferences. I am not much of a tea gourmet, though I like basically everything I try, including weird stuff-- I've just been trying not to develop expensive tastes, y'know?
I'd offer to send tea back but most of what I have in stock is extremely boring and basic. In previous years I had a lot of herbs I collected and dried myself but this year I left them all at the farm!
But I will happily send a card in reply.

I like herbal tea!

I'm not very knowledgeable about tea; would you like a card and/or cookies?

[walgesang]

Yay, thank you! I'm always up for being surprised. Do you happen to like maple?

[dragonlady7]

Ahh it arrived! Am so delighted! What a lovely thing to experiment with. Perhaps I should send you a packet in return in the summer of some of the herbs we use for tisanes at the farm, once I can harvest and dry them again.
