In the end, I have to conclude that the profile quiz really works because I liked everything in the box and 3 of the 4 teas were completely new to me.Ĭan you still get this box if you sign up today? No, your subscription would start in October. Since I drink a lot of tea already, I have a good idea of some things that work for me and some that don't.Īlso, for what it's worth, I liked that all the packaging was individually sealed and nothing was repackaged.
So I was able to eliminate certain flavors I don't care for (coffee, licorice) before even receiving my first box, therefore increasing the likelihood I would enjoy my selections. Third, the risk is decreased even further because you fill out a profile.Second, you get multiple servings of each tea to try, but you haven't committed to purchasing a whole box, so if something doesn't work out, you haven't paid like $13 for a half-pound of loose-leaf or 25 bags, etc.And smaller packages, in general, cost more. First, other than the loose Earl Grey, you can't buy these quantities of tea from the manufacturers or supermarkets.I think this is a fair value for a couple of reasons: There were 20 servings of tea in my box so they are about 75 cents each, or a little less when you add in the filter bags. Verdict: I didn’t calculate a total value for Sips by this month since the items aren’t sold online in the provided quantities and/or configurations. I did not measure this, just dumped some in the disposable filter bag, so I may or may not get 8 servings out of it, but you can weigh or measure if you are so inclined. It's kind of hard to describe but it's the kind of smell that makes me know it'll be good. It has a really enticing, almost peppery aroma when you first pour hot water over it. This is a pretty simple lavender and bergamot blend with black tea. I also used to think I didn't care for Earl Grey, but it turned out to be a particular brand of Earl Grey I didn't like (Bigelow again) and I have enjoyed all the others I've tried, including this one. Wight Tea Lavender Earl Grey (about 8 servings) - Retail Value $6 (There was also a specific allergy section where you could pick items from a list not to get.) But overall the profile survey was pretty comprehensive. I'd add "vegetarian" as an option and would also add "no lemongrass" as an option because I really don't care for lemongrass. I thought the profile covered most things well.
No mushrooms (there are mushroom teas and I have tried a few in other subscription boxes and I do not like them).derived (might be easier for them to offer "vegetarian" as a selection as well) You had the option of picking vegan, which I did not choose, as some teas may have honey or dairy ingredients and I am OK with those, but then I selected not to receive anything meat/shellfish/etc.
No stevia (I'm not a fan of stevia in drinks).No guayusa (this is in Runa Tea and it makes my throat tingle until I take Benadryl.).No coffee flavors (I do not like the taste or smell of coffee).No licorice (this is often used to sweeten teas but I don't care for the flavor).This isn't an exhaustive list but here are some of the choices I made: My teas were selected based on a pretty extensive profile I filled out.
