The Mantry is a food subscription box service described as "the modern man's pantry." While the Mantry is geared toward men, it's full of gourmet food everyone can enjoy - my boyfriend and I both really like this box! Plus, it arrives in a wooden crate! This month's theme is Breakfast with Pops - they marketed this box as a great Father's Day gift.
Each box comes with a detailed explanation of each product - what makes it so awesome, why they picked it, and where it comes from. Most products are sourced from the U.S. and it's always interesting to learn a little more about the people who make the delicious food!
The Box: Mantry
The Cost: $75
The Products: The Modern Man’s Pantry: a Food of the Month Club that helps you discover American artisan food.

Fresh Stone Ground Buckwheat Pancake Flour - Value $8?
Skillet Bacon Spread in Fennel & Black Pepper - Value $15
I had seen this bacon spread on a few sites (I think on Joyus?) and I was very curious but never ended up purchasing it. Now that we've sampled it - I think we'll be regular customers! My boyfriend spread it on buns for burgers and loved it! Mantry recommends serving it warm - mixed into hash browns or on a fried egg and avocado sandwich. I think I'll make the hash browns this week!
HalfPops - Value $4
Noble Maple Syrup in Tahitian Vanilla Bean & Egyptian Chamomile Blossom - Value $28
This is definitely a pricey little bottle of maple syrup - but I tried it yesterday and it's amazing! There are actually chamomile blossoms floating in the syrup!
Smith Variety Pack Teas - Value $15
Drunken Monkey Jam - Value $10
I receive so much tea in subscription boxes that I rarely get excited for it when I'm opening a box - but this tea collection is different. For one thing, the packaging is beautiful , and it's a sampler of 12 of their popular flavors:
Fez, White Petal, Mao Feng Shui, Jasmine, Brahmin, Bungalow, Kandy, Lord Bergamot, Big Hibiscus, Meadow, Peppermint and Red Nectar.
Also, I learned that Steven Smith apparently the king of tea - before his namesake line of teas, he created Stash and Tazo teas!
I sampled the Drunken Monkey Jam in the first Fancy Food box - if you like bananas, you will love this jam! I need to try it on a PB&J sandwich next!
Verdict: The Mantry box is always one of my favorite boxes to open - I love it when my boyfriend and I are both equally excited about what's in a subscription box! We paid $75 for this box and received about $80 worth of quality food products. Considering this is the first Mantry box where the total value is greater than what we paid - I'm very happy with the value! What do you think of the June Mantry box?
