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.
I love this Oolong tea brand. I have been using it for months and is one of my fav morning teas or when I want something that is not too heavy on my stomach. It is full of flavor but not strong at all. I tend to add a drop of skim milk and it is perfect. This 100-bag package has an amazing price, too.
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.
I love the taste of this mix of chicory & dandelion root. The colour is coffee-like. I drink it without sugar and with a drop of milk and it takes similar to coffee. It's slightly bitter without sugar, but the kind of bitterness that is enjoyable and palatable. The product comes in handy individual teabags inside a saleable plastic bag One teabag is enough to make a strong large mug of 'coffee' in the morning. As it's caffeine-free, I drink it at night without worrying that will affect my sleep. I've noticed a slightly laxative effect if I drink several cups of this a day. A bit pricey.
Great oolong tea bags. Delicate but still flavorsome and aromatic, not heavy on my stomach when taken for breakfast or before bed. I enjoy it both with milk or on its own. Good value for money. I'll buy again.
This is a box of tea bags not loose tea. I really like this Jasmine tea selection. It's light and flavorsome with a bit of bitter after-taste coming from the green tea mix. I like it in the evenings when I want a low-caffeine tisane. Very good quality teabags, too. I will buy it again.
This
is large box of loose leave Pu er tea. Pu er is a very strong tea,
stronger than any strong black breakfast tea, so I use half of the
quantity I'd use to prepare my normal tea. In fact, I can reuse the
leaves twice and still get flavorsome tea. This tea not only has a
strong smoky flavor but also a noticeable strong smoky smell. I take
this tea with milk due to its strength; personally, I'd not have it on
its own. This isn't the first time I use this variety of tea, so I can
compared it against other brands I've used in the past, and the brew is
as good as more expensive brands. This is an amazing value for money
package as Pu er is a rare tea variety and it's usually quite expensive.
MIND = There aren't brewing instructions on the package.
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..
