Tea Forte Review – Is it an Exceptional Tea Experience?
I received the Jardin Gift Set from a colleague, and it was my first Tea Forte experience. I love tea, good boxes, and beautiful cups/mugs, etc. The box seemed so exceptional, and I was so excited to dive in. Here’s my Tea Forte review. Enjoy the photos! Comments in the captions. 🙂
Let’s Brew Some Tea!
The packaging is very nice. All the tea are packaged in those pyramids and each one has a leaf thingy to them. The idea behind it is to stick the leaf thingy through the hole on the lid or something. Let’s see how this goes!
Tea Quality and Such
Well this tea forte review is mostly photos with brief descriptions, but overall, the tea is OK. The tea itself seems very pricey in relation to the taste and quality, but perhaps because a lot of money goes toward the packaging. I was rather excited based on the flavor names that the teas have (except chocolate rose, omg, still haven’t tried that one), such as vanilla pear and green mango peach. Those sound so lovely, but the flavors mentioned weren’t quite found.
What’s Up With the Lid (and Tray)?
It seems very gimmicky. I’m honestly unsure what the purpose is other than using it for tea forte items. It was interesting, but I’m unsure when I’ll use the cup with the hole lid. I didn’t understand the purpose of the tray. It is to put the tea bag on before and after? I initially thought it was to put the cup on top, but it doesn’t quite fit unless it’s at a perfect spot. A little movement will cause the cup to tip over. Perhaps I shall look into this, but as an initial reaction without doing research, I am confused.
Overall Thoughts
Very beautiful, and I am impressed with the packaging. I really enjoy this gift, though it doesn’t seem so practical. If you enjoy Tea Forte’s tea, then it’ll be more worth it for you.
