Numi's Collection

Numi makes GREAT tea with some of the finest ingredients on planet Earth. Numi utilizes natural & organic ingredients which are GMO-free, and sourced from fair trade suppliers. They also utilize recycled materials in their packaging and shipping. Containing everything from the traditional to the unusual, this sampler is a great (and affordable) way to try many of the different teas that Numi offers. There are quite a few makers out there that make GOOD tea...but good is NOT great. Also, many tea sampler products often live up to that old saying about 'jack of all trades,' resulting in sampler packs with many mediocre teas. However, Numi does not fall into that category. When they make a tea, they show their mastery of the art of tea making by doing it right. Whether it is a black tea, a green tea, a white tea, a mate, or an herbal tea, it won't just be good...it will almost always be great. While Numi teas are by no means inexpensive, I think their superior quality justifies the price premium. ======================================================================================== Other Reviewers have noted and discussed the different teas in this package, so I wanted to order them for a slightly different illustration. Below is how I categorized the many different teas into separate groups, along with a short description of the tea itself... (the attached images shows the tea in the categories noted below) ==BLACK TEAS== -Earl Grey-Assam black tea with bergamot (a sour orange for a floral note) -Earl Grey-decaf-same as Earl Grey -Golden Chai-Assam black tea with traditional chai spices -Breakfast Blend-multiple black teas, similar to English Breakfast -Cardamom Puerh-technically a black tea, a ginger-ish flavor is the primary flavor -Emperor's Puerh-technically a black tea, this tea has a flavor unlike tea that I cannot describe, that is almost savory -Chocolate Puerh-technically a black tea, chocolate is the primary flavor ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ==GREEN TEAS== -Gunpowder Green-green tea pearls -Simply Green-decaf-standard green tea with less caffeine -Jasmine Green-jasmine scented green tea (strong jasmine aroma) -Toasted Rice-green tea made to be savory ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ==WHITE TEA== -White Rose-plain white tea mixed with rosebuds for floral notes ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ==HERBAL TEA (all caffeine-free)== -Rooibos-earthy with vanilla -Rooibos Chai-traditional chai spices with vanilla -Honeybush-honey flavored -Moroccan Mint-sweet mint with a refreshing aroma and taste -Chamomile Lemon-traditional chamomile & lemon combo ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ==MATE/HYBRID== -Mate Lemon Yerba Mate-yerba mate spices mixed with green tea and lemon ======================================================================================== Given personal taste can vary dramatically, my own interpretation of which of their teas I like the most/least is probably not very useful for anyone other than myself. Additionally, Numi's offering of this sampler pack gives Buyers the option of being able to sample all the flavors on their own without having to make a large expenditure on a larger quantity of tea (which they may wind up not liking.) Still, I wanted to offer my take on my favorite ones... --EARL GREY--(both a regular and decaf bag is included)--this classic is black tea is mixed with a sour orange called bergamot to make a delicate black tea with floral notes with high caffeine. Numi's Assam black tea is of fantastic quality, as is their bergamot, and the outcome is some of the best quality Earl Grey around. It is one of my favorite Earl Grey teas, and one of the finest I have had. It is one of their most popular teas, and for good reason. You may find yourself buying a box of this as it is a very addicting flavor. --MOROCCAN MINT--what makes Moroccan Mint so notable is not because it is better than most mint herbal teas, but because of how much better it is. While practically every tea company offers at least one mint tea, Numi's Moroccan Mint really perfects this classic herbal. With a flavor that is closer to spearmint than it is peppermint, it literally has the 100% perfect amount of aroma & 'bite', but without being excessively strong or shocking and balanced with a bit of sweet. It is the best mint herbal I have ever tried, and by a significant margin. This is one of Numi's crowdpleasers. --GOLDEN CHAI--a lot of makers produce Chai tea, but Numi's is excellent. The classic cinnamon & ginger spice pairs perfectly with high-quality black assam tea to give you a chai tea with the perfect amount of spice balanced with smoothness. Unlike many other chai teas I have had, Golden Chai does not skimp on (expensive) cinnamon at all and the tea has a very pleasing aroma and taste because of this. --MATTE LEMON--this matte is a mix in that it combined yerba matte with green tea and lemon. It's an excellent matte with a unique twist. --EMPEROR'S PUERH--this is such a weird tea I cannot describe it but wanted to note it due to it being so unique. It has a flavor that is savory and is advertised as a coffee alternative, and I can understand why it's advertised as such. I have never had any other tea (or any drink for that matter) that is remotely like it, and I am not even sure if I like it or not as it is that unique. ======================================================================================== So overall, this is a great sampler for anyone looking to try a wide range of top-quality teas. It has most of Numi's most popular teas, and it is affordable. It also makes an awesome gift that is bound to be a big hit with that special tea drinker in your life. This is a must-have for the avid tea drinker!

The beautiful thing about giving this box as a gift is that so many recipients will appreciate it: the tea afficionado, the casual sipper, and the tea newbie will all delight in it. Aside from gifting, it is ideal for entertaining and makes a lovely conversation piece. The set comes packaged in an attractive bamboo box that can be reused. Inside is another smaller bamboo box holding each of the tea flowers. I love a reusable gift, and this beautiful box is something that will find multiple uses. Also regarding the packaging, I was concerned that the delicate glass teapot would break during shipping, but it was snugly nested in a bed of shredded paper that left it completely intact upon arrival. Everything about the appearance is wonderful; it is a gift you can be proud to give to someone and does not feel like a bargain "couldn't think of anything better" gift set. The box includes nine different flavors of tea; green, black, and white teas are all represented. The tea comes in the form of bundles in varying shapes that, upon contact with boiling water, unfurl into splendid flowers of leaves. The delicate glass pot allows for a great view of the blossoming. Each pot makes three small teacups, and each flower can brew three times without losing flavor. This tea set simply demands to be used with company, both because of the amount each flower brews and also because of how entertaining it is to watch. Drinking alone is definitely not the intent of the Numi set. I have only sampled the Jade Fortune green tea so far, but it is fantastic. Though I'm not much of a tea connoisseur, I greatly enjoy the flavor. The best was I can describe it is "earthy"-- very natural and leafy. It has character, unlike the monotonous tea bags in the grocery store. The only drawback to this set is that the tea flowers are not labeled; you have to refer back to a picture guide to try and guess which tea it is you are about to drink, which in some cases can be difficult to discern. Labels on the packages for the flowers themselves would be more helpful. This set has me hooked, and once the nine flowers are gone, I will go to my local Asian market and pick up more of these, because it is truly a fantastic experience. If you or someone in your life has even an iota of interest in tea, this gift set comes highly recommended.

We have had the tea from this pack it tastes very good and is easy on the stomach.

ordered this item for an xmas present in november, i was abit disappointed because it said it may not arrive in time for xmas i was given a estimated delivery date between 11th dec untill january the 3rd at the latest, but it came today on the 17th december, so i was delighted! ...the bamboo box is so pretty it really sets it off as a gift. i have seen other tea sets online but the box sold it for me. inside i found a rather small tea pot, its smaller than i imagined, but im still pleased. im sure the person i have bought the gift for will be happy. i am positive she has nothing like this, its always hard to find a unique gift! i paid under £20 for this gift and around £7 post and packaging, which i think was pretty good value.

The Numi Organic Tea Flowering Tea Gift Set was a beautiful gift choice! The tea blooms were stunning and added an elegant touch to the tea-drinking experience. Highly recommend for tea enthusiasts or anyone looking for a unique and visually appealing gift option!

I am very from my purchase! Great seller !

I've now bought this twice for different people and both loved it. The presentation is wonderful with the bamboo box and it's all packed together nicely. The tea pot is maybe a little on the small size, but it's still fits the teas it comes with very well and for the price of everything you really can't complain. Would recommend this particular blooming tea product.
