There wasn’t a traditional information card with this box but there was a card with a link to find out more about the items in the box.
There was also a card with more information on brewing different kinds of tea. This came from the manufacturer of the two teas included this month.
Stainless Steel Honey Dipper – Value $7?
This is cute. And I don’t have one of these already. I’ve been sick lately so I have been putting some honey in my tea to calm my throat down. This has made it easier! (This was non-branded so I just picked an average price from similar items on Amazon.)
Biodegradable Filter Bags (15?) – Value $2?
Not sure how many of these there are; they were hard to count because they would stick together. Anyway, these are convenient because you can just use them and toss them and not worry about cluttering up a landfill, since they’re biodegradable. (This was another non-branded item so the value is an educated guess.)
ElloRaw Cinnamon Sugar Donut Dessert Bites (2 oz) – Value $4.99
These are a RawBox staple so I’ve had them a few times before. They are mostly made of dates and nuts so they don’t have quite the same texture as doughnuts, but they *do* taste a lot like cinnamon sugar doughnuts.
Savannah Bee Co. Honey for Your Tea (3 oz) – Value $6.50
I like small jars of honey because I don’t use much and it tends to crystallize before I finish it. And, this is a good size for use with the honey dipper in the previous photo! (This is a Georgia company so it’s sort of a local company for me. In the same state, anyway.)
Loose Leaf Tea Market Joyful Garden Tea Mini Canister – Value $5 (?)
Loose Leaf Tea Market Happy Place Tea (2 oz) – Value $14.50
These are both caffeine free teas and they are pretty fancy. I was developing a cough yesterday and both were quite soothing on my throat. The Joyful Garden Tea was a little sweeter (I drank them one after the other without adding anything) but both were wonderfully complex and fresh-tasting. I would love to see more from this brand in the future! (Not sure on the size of the mini canister so the value is an estimate.)
Here is a close-up of the Joyful Garden tea. I love how you can see big pieces and identify the ingredients.
This is the Happy Place tea. Yellow is definitely a happy color; this also included decaf mango green tea. Again, love the large pieces – no powder here!
Here’s what the tea looked like when brewed. (The filter bags did a great job of keeping particulate matter out of the tea.) The Joyful Garden tea is on the left and the Happy Place Tea is on the right.
Verdict: I calculated a value of $39.99 for the September Tea Box Express. That’s a great value for this box (even if some of my estimates were a little high)! Everything in this box was useful for fun for me and all of the items will be used! If you are a tea drinker – and my husband and I both are – then this subscription is an excellent way to learn about new brands and get some supplies and sweet snacks along the way.
