Tea Sampler Booklet

Create a tea sampler booklet for your two partners. This can be as simple as a piece of cardstock or scrapbook paper folded in half like a notecard, with teabags adhered to the inside, and the other information written on the inside or back cover, or as complex as you'd like to make it. Don't slap it together, but a lot of technique isn't required either.

You must include:
-at least three different teabag samples. These do not need to be individually wrapped (for example celestial teas are often packaged together not individually), but if they aren't wrapped care must be taken in figuring how to adhere the tea to the booklet without compromising the teabag. (Perhaps creating a pocket instead of taping the teabag to the page?) Loose teas are not allowed for this swap, but may be included as extras.

-one of the samples included should be a favorite of yours.

-one of the samples included should be partner specific (as much as possible) Something you think your partner might enjoy based on her profile, if she has specified tea preferences. For example, i don't like black tea. Several of the teas i receive may be black, at least one should not be.

-each tea should be labeled. Directions for steeping should be included if they are not written on the package. It would be nice to include some optional information as well, anything specific to that tea, such as whether you like it or not, how you discovered it, your favorite way to drink it, etc.

-you must include at least one tea recipe (this recipe doesn't need to use any of the teabags you've included) Recipe for a flavored tea drink, OR a recipe using tea as an ingredient.

-you must include at least one tea fact (interesting or otherwise :-)

So... If you receive one "tea sampler booklet" created for you by your partner, which includes at least three different tea samples, one of which is a favorite of the sender and one of which matches your profile (as much as possible), and a tea recipe and a tea fact, sent on or before the send by date, rate a five or a five and heart.

You are not rating on whether you like the presentation or the teas, but on whether a tea sampler booklet meeting requirements was received. (But as we create our booklets our goal should still be quality)

You may send exactly the same tea booklet to both partners or make each unique.
