TEA BOX EXPRESS APRIL 2015 - BOX

Tea Box Express is a monthly box of tea goodies. Each month brings a new box that always includes brand-name tea (whole leaf tea, either in loose leaf or pyramid bag form) and three or four tea accessories and paraphernalia.

TEA BOX EXPRESS APRIL 2015 - info

Each box comes with a card that describes the month’s theme and the items in the box. This month’s theme is about Earth Day and being economically responsible.

TEA BOX EXPRESS APRIL 2015 - items 1

Snap Back Ginger Detox Cookie from the Cookie Department – value: $2.07

Cherry Bomb Cookie from the Cookie Department – value: $2.24

I’ve tried this Snap Back cookie before, I think from Love With Food, and it’s good! I was excited about trying the Cherry Bomb flavor (especially because it’s gluten-free), and it was awesome. It’s a double-chocolate chip cookie with cherries in it.

Paper Towels Are Jealous Tea Towel – value: $12

I think a tea towel is a good idea to include in a tea box, especially for a month with a theme of reducing waste/being nicer to the environment. This one is 100% cotton, and I think it’s pretty cute.

Sencha Naturals Green Tea Mints – 1.2 oz, value: $4

Sencha Naturals Dragonfruit Green Tea +C – value: $1.49

Two Leaves and a Bud Organic African Sunset Tea – box of 15, value: $8.49

I like these mints – the flavor is a blend of organic matcha and sencha green tea with a touch of mint.

I’m really excited to try this Green Tea +C drink mix! It says it’s effervescent so I expect it to be a little fizzy. The flavor is dragonfruit, and the boost of vitamin C comes from cherries!

The info card describes this tea as a blend of rooibos tea, lemongrass, flower petals, and citrusy ingredients – sounds delicious to me! Also, the pyramid bags are compostable.

The Verdict: Once again, I love my Tea Box Express! Personally, this is my favorite tea-related sub box because it includes things that aren’t just tea, like snacks and accessories. As far as value goes, everything adds up to $30.29, so that breaks even with the cost of the box shipped. Part of me wishes there were a little more value, but since I like and will use everything, I’m okay with the value.

What do you think about Tea Box Express?

This is my first Tea Box and I’m so super excited! It arrives today and I can’t wait. I struggled for a while about it because the value isn’t great but I love tea and the idea of getting a little surprise box of tea every month was too good to pass up. I’ve liked every one of their boxes so I’m okay with the lower value.

I really like this box, but don’t think it’s worth that price! 🙁 I hope maybe they will go down in the future.
