To be honest, it might be hard for me to spend $28 (plus NY state tax and shipping) on a bunch of tea bags in a wooden box, no matter how you slice it. And I have yet to actually taste them yet. But I was able to take advantage of the awesome sale that expires May 31st where you can get these for half off, AND since the original price was $28 the standard shipping is free. Beat that with a bat! I will also say the bamboo box is very attractive looking and appears well made. The teas they offer are slightly different than what is written in this ad (more fruity ones, which I was happy about anyway). They put info on the bottom about the history of Ceylon (I hope I spelled that right) tea as well which makes you feel like you are giving someone a worthy gift. I LOVE YOU AMAZON and I wish you would email us New Yorkers to tell us how to help you in your FIGHT against the NY state govt. charging taxes on internet purchases, BOOOOOOO!
