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.
