Riston Winter Collection Assorted Specialty Tea Gift Sets, 6 Flavours Tea Sampler Classic and Fruit Tea Blends, Gourmet Variety Gift Box 30 Count (Pack of 1)

nice assortment

I like ordering sampler tea and this is one of the best that I had. I love maple tea the most in this collection! Everything else taste good too! I highly recommend!

It says winter collection but none of these teas represent winter. So pay attention to the flavors in the packages. The ginger one is really strong. They come with 6 different flavors of individually wrapped packets.

I always shy away from new tea flavors because if I don’t like it then I wasted a huge box of tea. With a sampler box like this you don’t have to worry about that. It’s fun and tasty trying out the new flavors and different types of tea leaves. For me the star of this set is the white tea with raspberry, absolutely delicious. It came beautifully presented and would make a great gift for the upcoming holiday season.

I’m glad I tried the Winter Collection out myself before considering it as a gift. The teas are very ordinary, and some are outright flavorless. The cumin tea, in particular, is the worst—and cumin is one of my favorite spices. As a tea, it just doesn’t hold the same appeal—no one in our house liked its lackluster flavor, which seems unusual for such a lively spice. I thought Sweet Berries would be most flavorful of the group, as it contains a varied mix of ingredients. Yet, this blend is bland too. None of the six teas are any I would order again—they’re all unremarkable and almost tepid tasting. I’m not a tea snob, but the selection at our local grocery store offers fresher and more lively blends similar to the ones packaged in this collection. These are simply uninspiring teas.

Riston Winter Collection Assorted Specialty Tea Gift Sets, 6 Flavours Tea Sampler Classic and Fruit Tea Blends, Gourmet Variety Gift Box 30 Count (Pack of 1)Flavor Name: Winter CollectionI ordered the Winter Collection set which includes Sweet Berries, Pure Green Tea, English Breakfast, Ginger Lemon, Cumin, and White Tea with Raspberry. The teas are all nice but I’m not sure what those flavors have to do with a Winter Collection, none of the flavors are reminiscent of winter. With winter, I might expect a peppermint or cranberry, etc. The teas are good but I’m not thinking they are premium enough for the price.

The recipient liked the flavors of the tea.
