I seriously LOVE the whole concept of this company! Everything about the company shouts QUALITY!
Caleb sent me a good size tin of this lovely white tea offering along with 3 small sample tins. In each sample tin were each of the 3 individual ingredients that were in this tea. He does this because we wants tea lovers and his customers to be able to see, touch/feel, and smell each of the ingredients stand-alone. Another PLUS for doing this is if a specific tea drinker would like a little extra of one flavor in the tea they are able to add a little more if they wish! GENIUS! How many times have we said…I wish such and such had a little bit more (enter ingredient here).
Caleb also sends great information along with the tea! This is wonderful! It tells me he’s really taken the time and effort with his tea offerings!
His packaging is just as impressive! Like I mentioned above the tins are wonderful but the labels are great as well! And…the brown fitted boxes that hold the tins that hold the tea are neat, too! He secures the box with twine and presses a good-ole-fashion wax seal on top!
As for this specific tea…I think it’s very good! I have to say the White Peony, alone, is right up there with the best quality of Peony I have tried! The dried strawberries are amazing! The cacao nibs are mixed sparingly thru-out the loose leaf mix…I must admit I purposely added a little more from the sample tin! I TOTALLY LOVE THE FACT I CAN DO THIS!!!!
The flavor is great! The Peony and Strawberry combo is the highlight and the cacao is like a back-up dancer! Very nice!
This is a treat from start to finish!

interesting – so I went to their website and you have to buy the monthly subscription?
Hey Amy, Handmade Tea is essentially a tea-of-the-month club. We do have a few popular gift options (1, 3, and 6 month subscriptions.)
I am looking into adding a more traditional online shop based on the most popular blends from the subscription service.
We’re working on some really fun and interesting blends, so I do recommend signing up! :)
It sounds like a good concept but I’m leery of tea of the month clubs since I’m picky and there are so many flavors I don’t care for. :)
I totally understand Amy! I’ll send you a message via Steepster when I open the general store :)
Maybe put me on that thread, too, Caleb! I’m the same as Amy in the wariness of tea of the month clubs. :D
Make that three of us!
Will do!
This sounds like a fun and unique idea!
An extended review of this tea was featured on Sororitea Sisters last evening, too! Swing by and check it out :)
Wow! This sounds incredible!
