This was my first ever tea advent calendar! This was so much fun to open up every morning and explore each coppery foil pouch.
I recommend this advent calendar for tea newbies especially. They had a lot of straight blends that everyone worth their weight in Long Jing should try at least once. The variety is isn’t as broad as I would have liked, but the new tea that they unveiled were usually on the mark. I really liked all of their new spa blends. I don’t know if I would buy any of their other teas though.
About the packaging: I would probably try a different way of packaging all the samples together. The little sticky glue squares were too strong and stuck to EVERYTHING. A couple of my samples got stuck together somehow, and I ended up tearing them apart and getting tea all over the place. (Sorry, Detox mint)
Thanks Teanzo, for letting me try all of your interesting teas!

I agree with you about the glue dots. I know why they used them but I think they should have maybe opted for some double stick tape that wouldn’t have gotten everywhere. It would have been easier to remove from the box (and it probably wouldn’t have been as difficult to tear the samples apart!)
But I loved the little coppery packages, they were fun and made it a little more ‘gifty’ in a way. I also thought the box was beautiful and it was a good box for a beginner. I would have liked more ‘teas’ and fewer herbals. But overall, I was very happy to have this box and it was fun tasting with you.
