    Coffee or tea exchange in Jan?

    My secret sister was so happy with this coffee i sent her (it is locally roasted) so we are doing a coffee exchange right now. I am sending her 2 pounds and she is sending me some. We are both excited about it. We were thinking it would be fun to do an exchange and send local favorite or or tea in exchange for someone else's favorite. Is anyone interested? It is not really a secret sister thing but would be fun anyway? Pm me if you are interested and I will set it up in Jan.
    I guess hot chocolate would work too! Good way to ring in the New Year!
    When you pm me make sure you send me what you would like and your address. I will let you all know if it works out or not..

    I'm in. I so love this idea. Not only do I get to share some of the great roasters that we have in the area, but I get someone to be a victim to try my home roasts too.

    I would love to join in! I don't know much about coffee (although I quite enjoy drinking it), but would be happy to supply tea to anyone interested. I do live in England after all, and they do make good tea.

    I already sent a couple of PM's to Brandi

    I'm in, but coffee and I sadly don't get along. Would be happy to send good tea or hot chocolate to anyone, though!

    Just a thought, but maybe in our PM to Brandi we should specify coffee, tea, or chocolate, or combinations thereof. So then when she sends out the exchange assignments you'll know what to send. I'm trying to keep the sorting work off Brandi, sounds too much like herding cats, if she tried to match coffee drinkers with just coffee drinkers. So if I got the name of a tea drinker, I would send her/him tea, no problem. Meanwhile I'd look forward to a surprise, cause I like all three.

    Ok when you get your exchange sister just write eachother the details of what you would like. It is a lot to pass on everyone's requests. And since it isn't top secret this time we can all talk about it. I am going to start setting people up tomorrow

    Does it matter that my x-changer drinks coffee and I drink tea? I'm not sure I know much when it comes to picking a good one for her.

    PW - Personally, I would not mind getting coffee from a tea drinker. Anything different is still an adventure. Or see if you can lure your coffee drinker to the "other side" by sending some tea, too...

    I have already pm'd my exchange partner - can't wait to get this one going!
