What a happy surprise for me for Christmas! This was a definite winner and I will be giving it to friends during next year's winter holiday season.
This is a great way to try new teas. The canisters are washable and reusable as well.
This set is great way to try new flavors without committing to a whole tin. I wish there were more flavors to choose from! The only draw back is that the coconut pur-eh is a smaller volume, so you don't get as much.
I like the presentation of the set. I have tried two the the three tea I picked. The cranberry blood orange black tea was a delicious flavor. I didn't get much of the orange flavor but the cranberry was a great and mellow. The Coconut Pu-erh had a wonderful coconut flavor that was perfect and not overwhelming at all. I have one more to try - the ginger peach black tea, but I think it will be good also.
I was skeptical at first so I went and bought the trial size for the milk oolong. It was so good and fragrant, my daughter also turned into tea drinker. I will definitely buy the full size! I wish there is a sample sachet for the milk tea oolong so I can give it out to my friends. However, I took a star off because the coconut pu er was not up to my liking. It's very bland. Well I guess that's what the sample size is for.
Absolutely love this option to purchase small tins of new teas! Unfortunately I loved the three I sampled and now I have three new favorites!
I came across a cute little tea pot at a yard sale, it has a basket for loose tea. I had wanted one for ages. I ordered the three tea combo in the flavors I used to drink years ago. They were all so good and no bite like I often get with bags from the store. I would have tea parties again if the little girls I knew were close around now.
Be careful what you choose because the loose teas DO settle in shipping and at first glance you will think that you have definitely be "taken." The bulkier the tea type the less it will look like you have. Understand that most all these teas are fantastic (depends on your taste, of course), but be prepared for some shock factor when you open the little tin, and it appears that someone has taken most of the product. At first it makes you ticked to think you paid $5 for 3 servings of tea! (We don't all have the luxury of dropping $5 for one cup of java. Anyway, this company is awesome in its PR and DID send me another sample (same exact amt., my bad)after I called to complain, but I will not be sending this item as a gift to anyone.
Growing up, I always watched my grandmother drink full-leaf tea. I've recently converted also. The flavor is so much richer! This gift is a great way to discover new full-leaf teas. I highly recommend the Milk Oolong.
Full-leaf tea can be expensive so I was thrilled to discover this sampler option. I was able to try three different teas and then ordered a full tin of my favorite. I also found this to be a really cute gift. The little tins and packaging were a hit with my family.
This is a fun little gift to give of full-leaf loose teas. I love Cinnamon Plum Full Leaf tea so now I can give that as a taster to friends along with some other favorite teas include Ginger Peach and Pomegranate Green. Very creative solution!
