Haven't tried all the flavors yet, but those I've had are very good. I like the way they steep fairly quickly. Nice selection of tea flavors, the fruit ones have a natural taste.
The box is nice, about what you'd expect in a tea box. Made of 1/4" lath that is stained a dark brown. The stain chips easily, but then lath isn't a hard wood. I knocked the whole box off the dining table and got a small crack in one corner of the lid, I expected much worse damage. If you're buying to use the box for another purpose later, remember that it was only meant to hold tea.
I bought this item because I was at a loss for an idea on a Mother's Day gift to give my wife. I saw this item and its 1-star rating, and that piqued my curiosity. How can a purchase of teabags be given only one star?
I received this just a few days before Mother's Day and my wife talked me into giving it to her right away. My wife and I are quite pleased with both the nice, partitioned box (it is just like the picture and description I saw before ordering it) as well as the large assortment of teas.
In this particular case you are getting the following:
A handsome tea chest that is lined with red velvet.
120 bags of tea; 20 each of Orange Spice, Raspberry, Earl Grey, English Breakfast, Peach & Green Teas.
Each bag is individually wrapped in foil.
The whole thing cost less than $20!!!
Neadless to say, the five stars is partly for the great value we got in the box plus teas as well as to partly offset the ridiculous 1-star rating it had previously received.
I actually received a fancier version of this for Christmas last year (same tea, different box). I wouldn't have thought it, but I absolutely loved this gift, I tried flavors that I probably wouldn't have tried otherwise. I liked it so much that this year my mom is getting this set. A great value and a great gift!
