Perfectly Pear White Tea - Value $3.00?
I love the fruity smell of this white tea. The flavor creeps up on you and forms a more full (yet still subtle) pear flavor once you take a sip. I prefer a delicate white tea, mainly because I am sensitive to caffeine and like drinking tea in the evening.
Strawberry Shortcake Rooibos Tea - Value $3.00?
The flavor here was a little subtle for me. I didn't pick up on the full body of strawberry shortcake even though I followed the directions on the package (which I love that they provide) that called for 1 teaspoon per 8 oz cup of water. I couldn't find this particular flavor on their site for sale either, so maybe this one is new or exclusive to the box?
Madagascar Dream (Black Tea) - Value $3.00?
WOW. Fantastic flavor coming our of this black tea. I could pick up on the vanilla right away. This is by far my favorite, so maybe subconsciously I gravitate towards black tea instead? Who knew? They used fair-trade organic cacao shells in this which I can also taste. Really beautiful sweet tastes all around!
Spring Blossom Baozhong (Oolong Tea) - Value $3.00
By far the most visually stunning of the teas, this tea can be re-steeped, which is great! It also has a more specific temperature for the water. I love seeing the yellow flowers among the twisted green leaves. The smell of this Oolong tea is a little earthy, and the notes of jasmine flowers are coming through for me. It lingers on my tongue a bit too, which is comforting.
Sooo happy they include loose leaf tea bags because there is no way that I normally would have those lying around.
Verdict: Amoda Teas are delightful, and the packaging and presentation are top notch, but I question if the value is there for me. Although the box comes with the tea bags and postcard, it seems like you may be better off just ordering larger tea quantities from their online shop. Otherwise, this may be a great gift for someone you know who loves trying new teas. I was happy to receive four totally different kinds of teas and enjoyed figuring out what I liked. The Madagascar Dream black tea ended up being my favorite, which surprised me. I suppose therein lies the biggest value!
