English Tea Shop Gift Pack Your Wellness Collection Light Blue 36 Sachets, 54 g

I'll be honest, I bought this tea pack because I love the tin box and I wanted to add it to my collection of ETS tins at home. The illustrations and overall quality of the tin are just beautiful and I use this one to store craft materials. It's not just that I wanted to have the tin, I knew beforehand that I would get good-quality organic herbal-blend tisane teas. The varieties in this pack didn't disappoint me. They are beautiful light enjoyable clean teas with no caffeine, so I drink them in the evening without a worry; now that's Winter I drink these teas instead of water as they are hot, healthy and taste good. The labeling information on the tin and the way it's displayed are excellent, something I don't take for granted.

English Tea Shop The Luxury Collection 36 Sachets

I bought this collection because I love the beautifully illustrated stackable tin box and I've collected others in the past. Let's be honest! However, I've tried this tea brand before and I knew that I'd like the selection. All of the teas in this gift box have subtle flavours, not bold strong ones. My fav in this selection is the chocolate rooibos; the chocolate is barely there but this tea still tastes wonderful and has no caffeine, so it's my go-to tea at night. The English Breakfast, Earl Grey and White Tea are also clean flavoursome teas that I take with a drop of milk. I rarely have peppermint tea, so I haven't tried it. The green and pomegranate tea is OK.

English Tea Shop Gift Pack Super Goodness Collection Orange 36 Sachets, 61.5 g

The tin box caught my eye as well as the exotic blend fair-trade tea selection. The tin design is wonderful: very modern, beautiful and eye-candy. Each variety of tea has its own pocket in the cardboard inner drawer structure. This structure is removable and I now use the box as container for my stencil.s

I love that these teas are organic and fair trade, something that is really important to me.

All the flavours have in common that are light and clear, not strong or full bodied. However, they're good teas/tisanes and I've enjoyed them all. They're perfect to make a cup of tea not more. Not even a one-person teapot, as the flavours are delicate and get lost if I add more than a standard mug of water.

My favourite tea in this sat is the turmeric variety and, if I had to choose one, this would be the one I'd buy again. I found that the matcha variety is especially disappointing. The other varieties are lovely light drinks, but I prefer teas that are a bit more flavoursome and are a big stronger..

English Tea Shop Gift Pack The Ultimate Tea Collection, 36 Sachets

The design of the tin, branding, and teabag sachets is wonderfully modern and appealing to the eye. It is wonderfully designed and has an inner cardboard structure that holds each tea specialty in specific drawers or pockets. This structure is removable and I now use the box as container for some crafty stuff of mine.

I love that these teas are organic and fair trade, something that is really important to me. All the flavours have in common that are light and clear, not strong or full bodied. However, they're good teas/tisanes and I've enjoyed them all.

> Chai is my fav of the lot, as it is still flavoursome but the mix of spices is balanced and not too strong or too weak so I can have it without sugar on its own, without milk. It is still good with a drop of milk.

> English breakfast is good, clear and flavoursome, but delicate not full-bodied, which is my fav breakfast tea.

> Camomile & Lavender is lovely and very soothing to my stomach. Yet, the lavender is barely noticeable to the palate despite making 30% of the tea content. I had it first as my stomach was slightly upset and the discomfort went away. I've had it before going to bed as is caffeine free drink and warms my belly before going to sleep.

> Ginger & Citrus is perhaps the weakest link as I only notice the ginger and little of it. I like it overall, but is not as flavoursome as I expected to be, and the citrus notes aren't noticeable to my palate.

> Berries is again a very subtle but flavoursome tisane and I can only say that it tastes like many other berries tea.

Overall a great selection of delicate teas in a wonderful box.
