Tonight I’m enjoying a NEW box subscription service.
The service is called Hand Made Tea, an artisan tea of the month club. My husband came across this company through a friend of a friend on the twitter, then sent me the company link and the rest is history!
I went to the site and was able to chat with Caleb, the proprietor, creator and man behind the teas. He was so informative, helpful and personable, and great customer service goes a LONG way with me so of course I had to subscribe!
Here’s my referral link if you are looking for a high quality tea that is presented with consideration!! http://handmadetea.com/?invite=91-e08dfa
The teas are shipped the first week of every month. And the tea tin has approximately 30 cups of tea to brew. There are a few different options for billing and pricing, you can find on the website AND… if you have any questions about the service or tea, Caleb is right there to chat with you and answer all your questions. How cool is that?
Let me just say that the packaging is so incredible. It’s so nice, nice enough to gift just as it is sent! Yes it’s that nice. Included in our first tea subscription was a micro strainer and small saucer to place it in. I just love the attention to detail!
What makes this a truly special experience is how thoughtfully put together the monthly tea offerings are. The April 2012 tea selection named Garden Rooibosch is a perfect spring time blend. Green Rooibos tea, coupled with Elder Flower and Orange Peel is a wonderful combination to celebrate spring. This is a smooth tea that is sweet and citrusy, without being overpowering. And the flavors blend well together.
What I really liked about Hand Made Tea was the personalization of the product. Having each component of the tea in a separate little tin, allowed me to see and smell the quality of each of the ingredients. On the outside of the tea tin are brewing suggestions, taking the guess work out of that age old question, “How long should I steep this tea for?”
What sets Hand Made Tea apart form other services is how special you feel when getting your box. Inside the box isn’t just the amazing tea, but something a little more heartfelt. The wax sealed envelope contains a welcome note about Hand made Tea and their mission, an information card on the artist of the month that did the artwork for the tea box, and a card with brewing suggestions, and tasting notes and a link to a taste along video. (I’m going to do that soon, so I can not only enjoy the tea, but maybe learn something about it!)
