Gorgeous

So lovely to drink a peaceful cup of tea in such good company. Purrrrfect!

Well-packaged and resealable to keep your tea fresh. Tea is delicious: peachy without being too heavy or overly sweet. I used it for hot tea and fresh iced tea and it was heavenly both ways.

Beautiful gift

This was a gift so I didn’t drink all of the teas in it (I did buy a few of them myself though and they were lovely), but it was very beautifully packed, and the recipient was thrilled to receive it.
