If you're like me, you have a passion for tea and collect a range of exotic teas in your travels or by trade. You want to try all of your teas at the precise temperatures at which they are supposed to be brewed but you can't afford a machine that would do that for you (because they're ridiculously expensive). When I was a student, a family member gifted me just such a device, and it changed my world of tea forever. Now I've received a newer one and I would like to gift my old one to a student or librarian, or someone else on a limited income who has black/white/red/green teas to try but no precision in temperature.

Disclaimer: This tea maker is ~2 years old but everything runs perfectly. The only sign of wear is that some metal surfaces are stained from when a visitor tried to make coffee in it. 9.9 I checked the temperatures and everything else, seems fine. It has been in my possession since it was new and has only ever been used for tea or boiling water (with the exception of the aforementioned coffee incident).

I figured this is what happens in RAOP so I'm trying it with tea!

What I am offering is a few sample teabags of my favourite brews.

If you're interested let me know :)

Apologies to anyone further afield but I can't afford the shipping to abroad at the moment, and I have no idea the way customs regards tea.

EDIT: They are individually wrapped, so its a bit more hygenic and you know what you are getting.

Just joined the group. Preferred teas are orthodox, loose leaf teas. Been drinking lots of hong chas lately, but also getting into the more delicate Japanese teas

Fresh shincha from the spring 2017 harvest has arrived. Delicious, aromatic and healthy!
