A product of France this Christmas tea giftset includes four varieties each packed in a handsome two-piece tin. The set includes four different base teas that are then combined with the brandâs special holiday No.25 recipe which blends orange peel, almond, vanilla and spices associated with the holidays. The teas used as a base are a black tea (Noir), a green tea (The Vert ), caffeine-free Roobios and caffeine-free Infusion. A novel approachâthe teas used are different but share the flavor elements added by the inclusion of the No. 25 recipe.The teas are very good and favorites will be determined by individual preferences. Brewing instructions are provided and they have a temperature range from 170F to 200F degrees and a steep time from 3 to 5 minutes. To estimate shelf-life at the time of this review in November 2023 the Best By date is 31 months in the future but dates will vary. A group of flavorful teas to enjoy during a very busy time of year. Very nice giftset.

Nice Christmassy Tea
This tea gift box set would make an excellent present. It offers a wide variety of teas, each with a distinct mix and aroma.The set includes four types of tea:- Flavored Rooibos: Smells like apple cinnamon.- Delectable Infusion: Has a very woody aroma.- Flavored Green Tea: Classic green tea scent.- Flavored Black Tea: Traditional black tea aroma.Each teaâs aroma matches its taste exactly as I expected. However, my main concern is that the containers are not factory-sealed. The teas are only enclosed in the tins, and I noticed some tins were capped tighter than others. This raises questions about their freshness and overall quality control.While this set would make a thoughtful gift, the lack of factory-sealed tins is a notable drawback.

Delicious!
I am a tea snob, but I do love many varieties of tea. This one is very enjoyable! It is lightly flavored, nothing over the top, and smooth. Great in the afternoons or evening instead of dessert.

Excellent, wonderful aroma when I opened the package
The first thing I noticed was the wonderful aroma as I opened the box, it was very Christmassy and my mouth started watering in anticipation to try it out. It’s a very classy set with a lot of French writing on the box, but luckily there are translations. It’s packaged very well for protection from damage, and the canisters are extremely nice and in perfect condition. The lids are on by friction fit, but mostly air tight, they were not sealed but the tea is very fresh. I remembered that the entire box had a safety seal so it is still tamper proof, no worries there. All the teas were in perfect order, very spicy and perfect for the holidays. I thought it was neat how they give detailed preparation instructions regarding water temperature and steep time to get the best flavor. Day or night recommendations I assume based on caffeine content, and it looks like the shelf life is well over 3 years, but it surely won’t last that long. The tins are pretty full, it doesn’t say how many servings are included, but my guess is at least 8-10 cups of a nice strong tea per tin, so there is a good supply and a great variety in this package. I’m very pleased, thanks so much for letting me try this out.

Interesting tea concept, good gift set
This set of looseleaf teas/infusion is an interesting concept: same “holiday blend” flavor, different types of tea. Although I would probably prefer a set where each type of tea has a different flavor, this set is still very enjoyable and would be a great gift for a tea lover. For the price, this set is a decent value. The “holiday blend” consists of a spice mix (cinnamon-heavy), plus citrusy orange peel, and a bit of vanilla. It definitely registers as a warming, wintery flavor – perfect for the holidays. Each type of tea arrives in an airtight metal container, and contains a good amount of tea for probably 10-15 cups at least. The teas themselves are good quality brews, and the holiday flavor is present in each of them. Whe drinking the different tea types, each of them emphasizes/plays well with different notes of the holiday flavor, making it interesting to taste the differences. Of the 4 types, my favorites with the holiday flavor were the black tea and the rooibos, which paired nicely with the orange peel and spices. The infusion was also good, and green tea paired the least well with the holiday mix, but was still drinkable. Overall, I thought all of the teas were quite pleasant, and would recommend the set for yourself, or as a holiday gift.

Tins were not sealed
Tea should be sealed airtight to maintain its freshness but unfortunately these were not sealed so it makes me doubt its freshness. Will be returning

Complex and flavorful
Not your average holiday blend. Complex and spicy.
