Please think twice before buying this,
I’ll explain it very simply: *every tea in this box tastes exactly the same*
You are not getting 12 flavors of tea. You are getting one flavor of tea wrapped in 12 different wrappers.
Don’t let the fancy colored tea wrappers or the tasty flavor names fool you. Lemon Spice tastes just like Ginger tastes just like Tropical Delight tastes just like Apple Cinnamon tastes just like Strawberry tastes just like Herbal Mint tastes just like Cranberry tastes just like Green Tea tastes just like Rasberry tastes just like Earl Grey tastes just like English Breakfast tastes just like Orange Spice **TASTES JUST LIKE NOTHING**
Two stars for the overpriced tea box that will store the next teas I buy after I throw away this Ceylon tea.

|Makes a great gift!,
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my mom and she loved it. She and I are both tea lovers and I thought this would make a good gift because we could enjoy the tea together and she can keep the faux leather chest to organize her many boxes of random tea bags. We tried many of the different flavors and I was always pleasantly surprised at the taste. The chest itself looks and feel great. It would make a great gift for any tea lover in your life.

|Not as it seems,
Lovely concept. Very nice quaility faux-leather lined box. Notice I said box. It was not a chest as advertised. If I had known it was a box with a lid I would have paid $2 more and git the Bigelow chest which is true to the name.It is large and difficult to store, but on the positive side- it hold a lot of tea! So if you just want a nice box to hold multiple flavors, this is it. On the other hand, if you are actually looking for a top closing chest. Try again. It does offer a unique blend of ceylons and for that, I would give 4 stars.

|Unbeatable flavour and taste,
You know I love my English Breakfast (see my earlier 5 star review of Twinings English Breakfast) — but my greatest delight is Earl Grey tea — with its deep, smokey, heavy (but not burdensome) mysterious wonderful flavors that linger hauntingly on the tongue and bring sublime moments of joy into a grey day (no pun intended). Steep it long enough so that all the flavor intensity is in your cup (or tea pot) Drink it straight, with no sugar — OR– sweeten it to bring out even more of its wonderful flavor — AND for a special treat, add cream or milk or soy milk– your Earl Grey will take on a “Chai presence”!!! Either way, Twinings Earl Grey is a tea to look forward to time and time again.
Lady Grey was new to me, and yes it is a bit lighter and not as intense as the Earl himself, but Lady Grey is still very very good — notably so.
Irish Breakfast is a tea that may make you break out in song — it is robust and delightful, clearing up “morning fog” in a hearty way.
This is a very good variety pack, IMHO, to keep on hand at the office when having panel meetings or board meetings — or just in the “break kitchen” for folks to enjoy when they are want a tea break!! Wonderful flavors and aromas like these can’t but help to make people sit up and notice, and make a sometimes dull work-day (or…ahem…meeting) more enjoyable.

|Great British Tea,
If you like the flavors of a good British Tea, this is a fairly good substitute. The Earl Grey and Lady Grey are very good. You have to put milk and sugar in them to make them really delicious! I like the Irish Breakfast – very full bodied. The English breakfast is good but not my favorite when it comes to the Breakfast teas. I like Republic of Tea’s British Breakfast the best. This is a great sampler package.
