Cons:
- Limited Information: The description mentions “12 exotic herbal tea blends” but doesn’t provide details on the specific flavors included.
- Unknown Quality: It depends on the brand and blend, but some sampler packs might contain lower quality tea leaves or artificial ingredients.

- Prefer to know exactly what kind of tea you’re giving: The lack of information about the specific tea blends is a drawback.
Here are some additional things to consider:

There are a lot to choose from too, green teas, black teas, cacao tea and even rose jasmine, 12 types in all. They come with a Small booklet to go through them all. The teas are promoted as having different health benefits, some of which are well documented and others feel like a bit of a stretch but generally it’s all natural ingredients that are good for you.
It’s a nice set for Indian Tea lovers that is well presented and provides a good selection of decent strength teas.

Hope you find this review helpful.

The box is shaped like a book and the teas are nicely placed inside.
Great gift idea.

The tea itself is a mixed bag for me though unfortunately. There are four bags of each of twelve types (though they are rather mixed up when you first open the box, so my first job was to sort them!), and there are some where I wish I’d got more than four teabags, and others where I disliked them so strongly that I’m not sure what I’m going to do with the other three bags of that type.
Some are lovely. The green flavours are quite light, without being too sweet, and have some delicate but recognisable flavours- I particularly like the vanilla ashwaganda one, and the tulsi & moringa one was a pleasant surprise. The ‘normal’ cacao tea has a lovely unsweetened dark chocolate taste to it, without being bitter, while the cacao with rose and ashwaganda flavour sounds like it’s going to be a mess, but ends up turning out really well.
Others, I struggled with. The plumeria tea tastes like how incense shops smell, and not in a good way, while the assam, which I assumed would be a bit of an easy home run in terms of making a good tea flavour, ends up not having enough of that malty biscuit taste to it, and isn’t as nice as some other assams I’ve tried, including cheap ones.
All the teabags are individually wrapped in a thick wrap that feels plasticky, and is certainly thicker than just paper. They’re quite difficult to tear, and once I realised that the teabags inside are also quite fragile (I’ve had two of them split on me already), I stopped trying to rip them open and realised I needed to open each one individually with scissors when I wanted to use it. So they aren’t the easiest teabags to use.
Not every tea is a hit, and for twenty-five quid, forty-eight teabags is not a lot even if they are good quality ones. But as an exciting and exotic gift box that makes you want to open it up and sample something new, it has a lot of appeal- and once I’ve finished these forty-eight bags I’ll be restocking it with other flavours and using it regularly.
