Winter Chalet Petite Presentation Box Tea Gift Set Sampler, 10 Count, 2 of Each Variety Individually Wrapped Handcrafted Pyramid Infuser Bags

This was the second of two items I purchased together in my first order of Tea Forte offerings. This box consists of the same flavors offered in the Warming Joy Petite Tea Tree, plus one extra flavor (Harvest Apple Spice) - and includes two of each flavor. Decades of coffee consumption have turned what used to be a great experience into more of a bland habit, so I was pleased to test tea for a change. This amounted to occasionally buying a box of loose tea bags at the local store, but at a friend's recommendation I ordered some Tea Forte in the form of the Warming Joy Petite Presentation Box and the Tea Tree. This box has the same quality, clever packaging as the tree but has the benefits of 1) additional samples of the same flavor, and 2) being well suited as a ready-to-give gift - the box is presentation-ready. In this assortment my favorites are the spicy varieties. The only downside was feeling a hint of guilt at discarding much of the quality packaging, but most was recycled. The assortment is true to its name - a warmer sampling of flavors well suited to the harvest season and into the holidays. The process of unwrapping, handling, pouring, steeping and finally enjoying these flavors are why I finally get what they mean by "exceptional experience." Recommended.

It was an absolute pleasure trying this brand of tea. We usually drink another brand, but tried Tea Forte at the strong recommendation of a friend. Boy, am I glad we did. This presentation box was a great little sampler of some very fine teas from Tea Forte. The packaging itself is gorgeous, and is definitely worthy of setting out for guests. It is very inviting. When you open the box, you are gifted with some pretty amazing frgrances. You can tell the ingredients of these teas are high quality and FRESH. Unlike many other teas I have sampled, this tea did not smell or taste like it has lived on a supermarket shelf for the better part of a decade. I cannot express enough how good this product smells. My wife and I took turns smelling each of the bags. Simply amazing. The tea bags themselves are fun little pyramids instead of a traditional tea bag. The results are fantastic. No squeezing is necessary to get the last good bit of flavor like sometimes is needed with cheaper tea bags. When you finish steeping, the little pyramid bags drain completely, allowing for a less drippy experience when discarding them. Instead of a string, a handsome leaf lets you properly steep this tea for 3-5 minutes for black teas, or 5 minutes for herbals teas. As with all teas, timing is everything. After following the very simple instructions on the packaging (basically, "just add water"), we were delighted at the flavors included in this collection. My personal favorite was Spiced Ginger Plum. My wife really enjoyed the Rum Raisin Biscotti. Truthfully, though, each of the other teas: Sweet Orange Spice, Harvest Apple Spice, and Winter Chai are all delicious as well, and we enjoyed each of them. This is my new favorite brand of tea, hands down. I think we will be keeping one of these presentation boxes around for when we host company. I think it will be a real crowd-pleaser. For our part, it took us just a few days to go through the entire box, (it's THAT good!) and so we will probably be on the lookout for options of buying this tea in larger quantities. However, if you are looking to try some excellent tea, give this presentation box a try. Enjoy!

I have given Tea Forte box sets as gifts many times and they are a hit every time. I personally love the triangle shape of the tea bag-I think it's charming. The gift recipients always say the tea is delicious.

The presentation is great and the teabags adorable. The hostess loved the gift and the harvest apple spice was the favorite. Only complaint was that some smaller tea pieces did seem to have escaped the teabags and were loose in the package (possibly from the orange spice or chai) We didn't get too many in the cup and they do package the teas with plastic in the paper box so it was easy to clean up.

These tea's are so good. I dress up like they did in the 1800's and sip tea in my white tea cup on my front porch. People often drive by and laugh but I just smile and invite complete strangers over I find under the bridge for some tea. I have extra 1880 clothes I make them dress up in and join me on the porch. Afterwards we eat sweets on a silver platter. Thens it's off to sleep. I enjoy our tea. It's so classy with the green leaf poking out of the tea cup. I like to pretend I'm on the movie show BRIDGERTON and sip tea while eating sweets. Then we sing Christmas carol's and get warm by the fire. I'm drinking tea as i write my experience. I gave this box of tea as a present to the man living in my wardrobe. He likes the tea too. Sometimes I serve it hot. Depends if he's in Narnia visiting the fawn. The white witch doesn't like tea, she's a scrooge. My favorite tea is the curry one and apple cider. Next time you (yes, you reading this) think of the man in the wardrobe sipping tea.

Gave to my daughter. She generally likes herbal and flavored teas. She said that this has a chocolate flavored tea, and she loved it. BTW chocolate flavored teas are rear. A bit too small for a gift, but overall is very nice.

Super fragrant and looks like a nice set of tea bags. I bought this as a gift for my mom, but I'd love to order some for myself because they smell so nice!

The mixture of teas and flavors is wonderful. The only thing better than the smell is that they actually taste just as good. The packaging is very clever and sophisticated - kind of thing you'd expect at the dining room at the Ritz Carlton. I ordered this to see if it would be good to give as office gifts for Christmas and for extra gifts for friends. It is perfect. I haven't ever ordered from this company, but I'll certainly be going back.
