Question 1

Is the box wood or cardboard?

Accepted Answer

The gift box is made of cardboard. I found it to be very presentable. I gave it as a gift. I have been drinking Taylors of Harrogate teas for many years. Ever since my son gave me the gift of a box of Yorkshire Tea he picked up while on a business trip to London. I order my Taylors of Harrogate teas from Amazon. A similar box with eight compartments made of wood would cost an additional $20 to $30 depending on the type of wood. I recently gave a gift and the single compartment cedar wood "rustic presentation box" cost 6.95 pounds (about $11.47). When I gave this gift I was thinking of giving quality teas not a wood box.

Question 2

what flavors of tea are offered in this variety box?

Accepted Answer

I just opened it, it has:

Descaffeinated breakfast tea
Green tea jasmine
Lemon & orange tea
Organic charmomile
Earl grey tea
Organic peppermint
English breakfast tea
Assam tea

Box looks really pretty it has 6 bags of each.

Question 3

Are these tea bags or loose teas?

Accepted Answer

I have experience with the 50 and 100 count packages of English Breakfast. Both are bagged tea, but the 100 count are each individually wrapped in a paper/foil pack. The 50 count is bags, loose in the container. Actually two bags connected by a thin perforation.

The 50 count are perfect for using in a pot. The bags are full sized, and two bags will make four cups of strong tea. I use three bags per four cups, but I like it strong enough to stand up without a cup.

The 100 count are not only annoying to unwrap each bag if you're using multiples in a pot, but they're also not as large (and more powdery). They make one cup each bag, and no more,.

I really wish they sold the 50 style packaging in a larger bulk count.

Question 4

I found the Irish to have a fishy flavor - anyone else get that?

Accepted Answer

Are you using filtered water, by any chance? When the charcoal filter in my ZeroWater pitcher is used too long, the water starts to get a fishy taste. Very peculiar, and thought I was going crazy the first time it happened.
