Tiesta Tea - Top 8 Favorites Sampler Set, Loose Leaf, Up to 80 Cups, High to No Caffeine, Hot & Iced, Tea Variety Pack with Green, Herbal, Black & Chai Brew, 8 Sample Pouches

This Tiesta Tea Favorites Sampler set is the bomb...has a great variety to try so you can find out which ones you like the best! There are herbal teas, green teas & a couple of black tea blends included in this set. Also makes a great gift idea to include in a basket for those who are hard to shop for. These teas have the best flavors of any I have tried hands down. They smell so good & taste even better. I ordered this set to sample to see which ones I like the best so I could buy the tin size of my favorites. They are all great tasting & satisfying, you can't go wrong with this set!

After learning that the tea in tea bags is essentially bottom-of-the-line tea dust with a side dish of microplastics and chemical flavorings, I've been on the hunt for some loose leaf teas to replace them. Now, each of these blends contain "natural flavors", which I'm not too thrilled about ("natural flavors" just means that the flavorings they used "taste natural, like the real thing", not that they're derived from natural ingredients). However, anything is better than tea bags, and they're very tasty, so I can't complain too much about it. I'll go over the individual flavors in the sampler below. 1. Blackberry Bellini -- Tasty, but weak. It was my first time ever trying loose leaf, so my water may not have been hot enough, so take that with a grain of salt. 2. Blueberry Wild Child -- Tasty, but the hibiscus in this blend does a LOT of heavy lifting here. I couldn't taste much blueberry, and for a blend called blueberry wild child, I was a bit disappointed. Very floral, a bit tangy. Bright pink-red color. 3. Nutty Almond Cream -- Absolutely delightful. I continued to sip on this as the steep got stronger, and different flavors came out as it did so. It starts off very mild and tastes like cinnamon toast crunch as a tea. A nice warm nutty cinnamon flavor. Then as it gets stronger, it turns pinkish, and whatever flower they added to give it that color starts to take over and add a floral flavor. Very nice, but when I have it again, I'll take the tea out before that happens as I like the milder flavor better for this blend. 4. Maui Mango -- My lord. This tea tastes like a tropical paradise. It's absolutely delicious, and I say that as someone who doesn't really like pineapple. The pineapple and mango are perfectly balanced, with a hint of orange, none of them overpowering the others. I'm sipping on my second cup of it as I write this. It might actually be my favorite out of the box. I just had my SIL taste it and she agrees. Oh, and the color is NEON yellow, like literal highlighter ink. I think that comes from the marigolds in it. 5. Passionberry Jolt -- Also very tropical and fruity, very tasty! Not much extra to say about this one, lol. 6. Fruity Paradise -- For a blend with that name, it's not very fruity at all. You mostly just taste the green tea base. I got some faint floral notes, but not much strawberry or fruit at all. It was also weak overall and had very little color to it. Pretty disappointing. 7. Fireberry -- This is the only one out of this box that I outright disliked. It tasted exactly how it smelled -- which is like cough syrup. Very chemical taste and smell, I actually could not bring myself to take more than a few sips of it to make sure I'd given it a fair try. I had my SIL taste it and she didn't mind it, so she finished it. The only nice thing about it was the beautiful dark red color. It also left a lingering weird smell in the room that I kept getting unpleasant whiffs of. Not really sure what's in this blend that was so nasty; I like cranberries, don't mind elderberries and none of the other ingredients raise a red flag, except "rooibos tea", which I've never had. 8. Lavender chamomile -- I haven't tried this one yet, but chamomile pretty hard to mess up, so I'm sure it's just fine. I don't like the taste of lavender at all, so my judgement on it would probably be skewed anyway. I will say that as a learning herbalist, the herbs appear to be good quality with a vibrant color. Overall, I would 100% recommend this sampler to try out some good flavorful teas. Considering there's still enough left in each bag for me to have at least 2-3 more cups of each flavor, that's excellent value for the money. I'll definitely be buying a full sized bag of the Maui Mango.

Wonderful variety and beautiful! My son in law was interested in some relaxing and healthy teas for unwinding and this was great. Also paired with a great new teapot for brewing!

Love this tea!! Even my mom who is an avid drinker of tea likes them. They don't taste oily or stale like some teas are, even ones that cost way more. They are great to give out as gifts at tea parties and I like that they are so descriptive about caffeine content etc. this is the third one I've ordered and there's new flavors this time. Can't wait to try them! Great quality, good variety and fresh

Great way to try different flavors.

Absolutely love these teas. Definitely will but again, great taste and assortment. Quality loose leaf that don't slip through strainer.

Love their teas. No nasties hidden in the ingredients, REAL tea leaves herbs and fruit, no tea leaf “powder” or pesticide laden scraps. Just delightful tea that is absolutely worth the money. Each little pouch easily brews 4-5 cups of tea, and we go through 3-4 cups a night. It’s all very fresh and the resealable bags keep it that way. We bought both the relaxation flight and the immunity flight and it’s safe to say we’re hooked. Very pleased with the quality, the size, and the ingredients. Can’t wait to try every Tiesta loose leaf variation. Cheers to the perfect cuppa!

Great variety of flavors and sized portions for the value. This is a great way to find a new favorite and enjoy the process along the way!

A very cool holiday set to get acquainted with Tiesta Tea! I liked that there are 8 different flavors here - both caffeinated and decaffeinated so you can choose a tea for any mood and time of day. The bags are reusable the aroma is well preserved and each one is enough for several brews not just one cup. I especially want to mention one of the flavors-Merry Cocoa Cherry. I tried it for the first time in this set and it became my absolute favorite! It's a great gift idea for the holidays and a wonderful way to lift your spirits in winter. I'll be happy to order more and try other limited edition flavors!

So tasty!

A lot of individually wrapped tea flavours. Came in a heavy box and was in perfect condition. Tea is loose leaf and will last a long time. Have it as a gift so don’t taste it but how couldn’t it be amazing? It’s David’s Tea!! Would buy again

Bel ensemble de thés en vrac en petites portions. Le carton d’emballage est de belle qualité ce qui est un plus dans le cas où vous l’offrez en cadeau. Les sachets contenant le thé sont aussi de bonne qualité, robustes et refermables. A l’avant de ceux-ci, en plus du nom du thé, d’un résumé des saveurs et de sa concentration en caféine, vous trouverez son type. A l’arrière, vous trouverez les indications concernant les températures recommandées en fonction du type de thé (noir, vert,…). Avec un sachet découverte, vous ferez entre 6 à 10 thés. Nous utilisons une théière, je fais donc 3-4 fois avec un sachet découverte . Ce type de format est intéressant pour goûter et savoir si une saveur ou un mélange nous convient. J’ai trouvé que nous sentions bien les arômes des thés avec des mélanges parfois hors du commun. Je ne les ai pas tous « adoré » mais c’est vraiment propre à mes préférences gustatives. Par contre, cela me permet de proposer de la variété et des goûts authentiques à mes invités qui tombent parfois sous le charme d’un mélange et le commandé par la suite ! Je recommande vraiment ce produit et compte essayer d’autres thés de la marque !

I found the tea was a lot less strong than my usual tea (TAZO orange), but I was also making it in a teapot at a time. I decided to add them all together and I kind of love it! Ordering more so I can refill my stash!
