Tea Beyond Tea Samplers Assorted Tea Gift Zen Flowering Tea 3 packs Rose Herbal Tea 20g Mint Herbal Tea 20g Chamomile Herbal Tea 20g White Blooming Tea Gift Set

Disappointed. I thought I was ordering 20g each of the three flavors in FLOWERING TEA. No. You get three balls of standard white tea (which is not caffeine free, btw) blooming balls and then three packs of shrink-dried loose leaf tea in chamomile, lavender, and mint separately.I would NOT have ordered this if the labeling/ description was clear. It wasn't clear from the pictures either.

The teas taste good but you don't get what is described. I got mostly "Magic Star", whatever that is. There is a leaflet inside the box that describes totally different teas. I have no idea if the teas I got are Detox or English Breakfast. See my review for that also.

I’m quite an avid tea drinker, and among my collection of delicious teas are blooming teas. Over the years, I have tried out many different brands of blooming teas, including Numi, Primula, Mountain Rose Herb’s blooming tea, Teaposy, and several off-brands. By far, Teaposy had the best quality of light-tasting, delicate white teas with no artificial or “natural flavors” (often a euphemism for artificially added flavors that happen to be derived originally from some ‘natural’ source). So, I decided to stick to Teaposy to ensure I had only the best tea…the only issue being the cost. Teaposy is a pricey brand – it can cost as much as $20 (shipping inclusive) for just 6 ‘blooms.’ Recently, I ran out of my Teaposy blooming tea, and decided to shop around for a new brand that was hopefully cheaper but miraculously just as good.My search brought me to the Tea Beyond brand. I decided to try out their set of White Blooming teas. Already, these are a better value than the Teaposy ones (I managed to get 12 of them for a mere $16). Of course, any savings is meaningless if the tea isn’t good, so I brewed up a pot. The tea ball opened beautifully into a pretty little arched design of jasmines, red clover, and silver white needle tea. The taste was excellent – delicate white tea paired with a pleasing floral flavor (make note, I did a 10 minute steep and added some sugar to my cup, as I traditionally do). I did try more of the tea balls from the set, and they were equally good.So, I rushed out (metaphorically, I actually stayed home and ordered online), and bought another set, the “Bloom Detox Ginger Chamomile Coconut Sampler.” I tried out one of the ‘snowing’ coconut ones first, and it was delicious. It actually tasted of real coconut that had been brewed into a tea – none of that fake flavoring stuff. Of course, the coconut flavor is subtle since there are no artificial flavorings, but I quite enjoyed it. The bloom itself amusingly opened upside down and dumped all its coconut flakes downward instead of floating up like “snow” as it’s supposed to, but it was tasty so I’m not gonna complain. I think this particular set is supposed to compete with Teaposy’s “Let It Snow” blooming tea, which features a chrysanthemum flower and coconut flakes that float upward like tea. The Tea Beyond version featured a lily (I think) as the main flower, along with the ‘snowing’ coconut flakes. Flavor-wise, the Teaposy version is quite delicate and floral, while the Tea Beyond version has more coconut flavor to it. They are both quite good, just different.Well, I’m pretty darn pleased with these. If you love blooming teas and are looking for a good brand that doesn’t use any artificial flavors, then Tea Beyond is a great choice. In fact, I’ll be trying some of their other teas later, such as the blooming black teas. Delicious!

Most flowering teas are pretty to look at but very blah in terms of flavor. I was excited when I read this product description because I thought it was possible to buy flowering tea in novel flavors: mint, lavender, etc. The price seemed expensive, but I thought it was justified because I believed I would be receiving 20g each of these interesting new kinds of flowering teas. Once the package arrived, I realized I had been misled by a disastrously unpunctuated run-on of a product name. "Tea Beyond Tea Sampler Assorted Teabloom Zen Flowering tea 3 packs Mint Herbal Tea 20g Chamomile Herbal Tea 20g Lavender 20g," which had seemed to me to mean "3 packs of flowering tea: 20g mint, 20g chamomile, 20g lavender" really meant "3 standard flowering tea balls plus 3 packs of boring, non-flowering regular loose-leaf tea." I'm frustrated. If this had been more clearly labeled, I wouldn't have ordered it.

It arrived in a pretty little natural looking box with a silver elastic bow, suitable for gift giving. Inside: One package of Premium Caramel Black tea in a heavy paper envelope/pouch.One package of Premium Earl Gray in a heavy paper envelope/pouch.Two foil envelopes of Premium Jasmine Green Tea.Four blooms: Magic Lavender, Magic Star, Magic Ginger and Magic Snow.These are not the names of the teas listed in the Amazon description. The teas in the description have the name: DETOX prefacing the name (Coconut, Lavender, Osmathus and Ginger)...HOWEVER--the pictures on the blooms that I received DO match the pictures in the Amazon product info.Perhaps it's just a labeling issue. I have been in touch with Tea Beyond and their customer service is responsive and is very dedicated to the Customer. If I am able to offer an update, I will certainly address the outcome.The booklet that was included did NOT mention these specific teas. So either the blooms are incorrect or the booklet is-- I believe the wrong booklet was included (trivial). The booklet describes: Tranquility Jasmine, Love Song, Happy Marigold, Pink Peony, and Fairy Melody.Then it lists 5 Fab Floweing Teas.Each item features a color photograph.
