THE TEA IS SWAPPED!
The last tea parcel arrived this morning from Austria, which means we had tea from Austria, the UK, the USA, and France!
There were some zine pages too, and I’ve not made mine or the cover yet, so today and tomorrow I’ll work on the zine. Then on Monday I can start posting out the parcels. :)
Deadline: 30th April 2018
Number of participants: 15
Do you like tea? Are you neutral to positive about zines? Do you want to swap some of your nice tea for some nice tea from around the world?
Well, yeah, obviously.
Click here to find out how to take part.
The TL;DR: Everyone sends tea bags to Cassian in the UK, plus some postage money. Everyone gets back the same number of tea bags - but they’re all different. How does it happen? Can we ever really know?
Last time we had participants from the UK, Germany and Austria, so most people got ~international tea~
If you’re looking for zine inspiration, here’s the pages people sent in last year:
If you change your mind and decide not to take part, please let me know so that I can open up your slot for someone else. :)
So far we’ve got tea from the UK, the USA and France - and there’s some from Austria en route too! :)
There’s three days to post your tea, and plenty of slots left. If you post it last-minute, let me know you’ve sent it so I can wait and do the swap after yours arrives!

The last of the tea parcels was posted today! And some of you should have received your tea by now, too. :)
Hi everyone,
The parcels are now ready to post! Two had postage-paid envelopes so they’ve already been posted. Take a look at the spreadsheet to see the status of your tea. :)
The zines are printed, cut, folded, stitched, and ready to go.
Participants will get two each - one to keep, and one for a friend who might be interested in the next swap.
So, my next task is to do the actual tea-bag-swap magic, package things up, and take parcels to the post office.
Here we are on Mastodon: @TeaWillTravel@witches.town
It’s just another place to keep up with current tea-swapping events really - a little like Twitter, but with more characters!

Today I spent a little time putting the zine together. Five people sent in pages with their tea bags. Everything’s stuck down, I just need to write the introduction page. I hope to do that tomorrow, and then copy, cut and stitch it.
My intention is to send two copies to participants who asked for zines - one to keep and one to give to an interested friend. I’m taking progress photos, which I will post once I’ve sent the parcels out so I don’t spoil the surprise!
Going through the parcels to get the zine pages was the best thing. Everything smells SO GOOD.
The deadline is today and I have a tidy pile of parcels ready to have the swapping magic happen to them.
Sometime over the next few days I will assemble and print the zine, and then rearrange all the tea, package it up, and get it ready to post.
If anything does arrive after the deadline but before I start on the zine and the swapping, I will include it. But it’s Easter weekend, so there will be postal delays. You’d be playing chicken with my chronic fatigue. ;)
Thank you everyone!

A two-page spread is totally fine by me! I mean, people can do as many pages as they like really - but yes, if you need them to be put side-by-side just put a note in the parcel explaining it so I don’t get it wrong On The Night.
Thanks! :) I am excited to see what you make!
