Commitment Issues? Not any more!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I LOVE the Custom 12 Count Teas! It's a great way to try tea flavors without committing to a large quantity of something you might not care for while being able to try different flavors. I do wish a larger variety of flavors were offered though.

What a great gift
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I bought these 12 tea samplers for a group of friends last Christmas and they were a hit. I added a small jar of local, raw honey to their gift bags and they really appreciated it. I'll most likely order again this year, buying a sampler for me as well ( I have many teas from R of T but there are others I'd like to try).

What a great gift!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I received this as a gift and loved it! What a great idea - to choose 12 teas. I have a bag a day. One thing though, and I agree with the other reviewer who said a similar thing, I wanted to find this to send as a gift, but it was very difficult to find on the site. I had to know the EXACT wording of the gift in order to find it. Otherwise, I love, love, love this!

Perfect when you don't know what someone likes
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

I bought the Floriculture Boxed Mug as a gift for someone so of course that meant getting some tea to put in it. I really like the option to get a variety of flavors in varied quantities; I only took one star off because I wish more of the unusual (like the seasonal or specialty) varieties were available.

Great Tea
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I have purchased the customized tea option many times. I like that you can tailor your selection to specific flavors you enjoy and have a mix to choose from instead of repeatedly drinking the same flavor. The tea tastes very good and I like that the spice grounds stay in the bag and do not seep out with the flavor. Also, some of the winter flavors are seasonal so it's nice to order specific ones for the holidays. It is a great gift if you have a tea drinker in your life.

My favorite find!
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

So many of the teas have been a hit or miss with me, I was hoping to try some of them BEFORE I committed to a full-sized 30+ bag purchase. I'm so happy I found this! It's my favorite find on the Republic of Tea website. I only wish there were more choices available. I don't mean loose tea, just tea bags! I really wanted to try Emperor's White and several others that come in tea bags. If ALL the tea bags were available for selection, I'd probably get this every other week.

I hope the Republic of Tea always offers this custom tea option. Many times I'm unsure about certain ingredients which will prevent me from buying a product, but having the option to try a single tea packet is brilliant.

The best customized small-gift bargain out there!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I had so much fun tailoring tea assortments for family members. I have a sister who drinks ROT Red Velvet Tea exclusively, and it has been my mission to have her branch out and find a few new favorites. With holiday chaos in high gear, I was concerned that I would forget which assortments I chose for various relatives; thankfully, ROT packers placed post-it notes on each box to indicate which assortment (by number) was in each box. These little efforts keep me coming back to ROT. At a time when we are all trying to budget, it's not easy to find a $10 grab bag gift which will be used and appreciated. This fits the bill time and again. I added small squeeze jars of raw honey with each gift and the recipients were all well pleased. If I could change anything, I would love to see more of the seasonal and most popular teas available in the assortment choice. I noticed that some are omitted and it seems a lost opportunity to grow ROT's customer base. Overall, ROT assortment box gets the win!

My favorite stocking stuffer
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars

I really enjoy adding a custom tea sampler with my holiday gifts. I only gave it 3 stars because: 1) it needs to be updated to add newer teas introduced this season; 2) was very difficult to find on the website--if I didn't know it existed, I would never have found it-- had to go back to my order history from a few years ago and enter it into my shopping cart that way.

Advent
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I buy this pack every year for a customized advent calendar. Being very picky, it's hard to find a pre made calendar that suits me. With this I can pick my own teas individually. The only thing that I would like to be different is the variety of the teas offered. I understand why as a company they have the selection they do, it would just be nice to see it rotated more often and more seasonal teas available especially.

The Tea is great, I just wish there were more types in the traveler size. I like to keep a tin in my travel bag so when I'm on the road I have my favorite tea with me. Keeping it in the tin is easier than keeping it in a baggie, which can tea and the tea will take on a flavor from whats in the area of the bag/purse.
