Samples to Start With
I purchased 10 sample packs of tea, just to try them to see if I liked them. Well, I have been blown away! Each and every one of them is delicious 🤤, to the extent that I have decided to get my two favourites in larger packs and still buy samples of others so I can keep the joy going! I love them 💞. Monks Blend is chef's kiss 😘 Divine 🥰
Also, the service and delivery were speedy and efficient. Great job all round 😁

highly recommend.
The webpage is easy to navigate
It arrived super quick,
great packaging, both the large tin & the small twist tops
1 thing I would change, peppermint as a trial/tester, as this is quite a common blend. I would have liked something a bit more "out of the box' to try
