I was very happy to open my box and find a good-sized, sturdy glass jar with a metal lid that has the logo of The Republic of Tea on it. It's good quality that is re-usable. The teas, are very fragrant. I've had teas where the only way you can tell what flavor has gone into them is by reading the package. That is not the case with these teas. You can taste each flavor on different parts of your tongue at different times throughout your cup. I WILL be ordering this sample again in the future for others and I am so excite to try new teas to put into my jar!

My wife and I are enjoying the teas and the container.

A great container of assorted teas!

Wonderful tea, no unplesant aftertaste or bitter bite that some tea has.

I purchased this jar to keep next to my desk. Every time I send a letter, thank you note, birthday or get well card, the last thing I do before sealing the envelope is to pull a tea bag out of the jar and pop it in my correspondence. Many friends have commented that the tea meant more to them than the note because they could enjoy a warm, liquid hug. I use sampler cubes as refills when the stash gets low.
