Review on ๐ŸŒฟ Pukka Herbs Support Tea Selection Box: Eco-friendly Christmas Gift for Feeling Strong - 45 Tea Bags, 5 Flavors by Matt Weber

Revainrating 3 out of 5

All organic but no tea

I've been a coffee drinker every day since my sophomore year in 1966. I love my coffee but am now planning to switch to tea for the health benefits. I'm new to tea culture but I'm not ignorant. There are no flake teas in any of the 5 varieties, except Turmeric Glow, which is 20% green tea and 40% turmeric. I hate to tell you this, but turmeric is a spice, not a tea. It smells like the contents of a vacuum cleaner bag and tastes like dirt. Turmeric is only used as a coloring agent to make rice, soup or sauce more yellow. Smells and tastes disgusting. The health benefits are debatable, but I want tea, not spices. I already have turmeric in my spice cupboard. The other 4 varieties are made from garden waste that belongs to the compost heap. flowers, roots. Citrus peels, herbal and spice ingredients, but absolutely no tea. Well, if there was tea infused with those other ingredients for flavor, fine, but if you're selling flowers and roots, don't call it tea. The good news is they're all organic, so that's a plus. Individual bags are made of coated paper. There is no foil or anything else to preserve freshness and flavor so when you open the box you can smell the dust right away. I don't smell tea. I gave the package 3 stars because the box is amazing; Purple, Gold and Green. It is made from thick durable paper material and would make a wonderful decoration in a bank or law office, as well as a lovely box for storing your favorite teas. Now this Pukka company has a gift box. Add some fresh tea and you get some in there. I've tried every kind and I didn't like any of them. Judging by the reviews, many people like them. I will donate them to my local charity and hope someone likes them. Still looking for great tasting fresh organic green teas.

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Safety
