I have another tea box to review, Simplicity Teas. This box was gifted to me and is another one that I enjoyed enough that I will likely pop in on future boxes now and again. This loose leaf tea box has two subscription options, the $9 Mini, which is 2 teas a month (about 15-20 cups), and The Tea Lovers for 4 teas (about 30-40 cups) and $20 a month. Your first box also comes with a reusable tea infuser. The two options are as customized as this box gets, but I was pleased with the flavors I received. Like other boxes you can subscribe to the monthly box or buy specific teas you enjoyed or just want to try. You can also gift a box to someone.
Simplicity Teas stands out from all the other tea boxes I’ve tried for one reason: Simplicity has a focus on wellness and the box does that very well. Because of this I highly recommend this to those looking for teas with health benefits and those who want to explore the benefits of drinking tea. This is also a great self-care tea box. Each tea label tells you exactly what each tea is good for, whether its digestion, clear skin, or a good night’s sleep.
The flavors I received were almond oolong, love potion, berry beautiful, and decaf lady lavender. I also received a strawberry shaped infuser. My favorite was love potion because I love strawberries and chocolate and this tea blended the two together beautifully. Berry beautiful tasted a little too watery brewed hot, but made a nice refreshing iced tea. I was also a fan of the almond oolong. I thought the flavors were balanced nicely since sometimes nut flavors can be overpowering for me, but not in this tea. The decaf lady lavender was also a great tea for those who enjoy floral notes.
On the packages you can see the health benefits of each tea. Berry Beautiful is good for great skin and is a healthy diuretic. Almond Oolong is good for digestion. Decaf Lady lavender is a good tea for relaxing and love potion contains folic acid, magnesium, and potassium. I enjoyed knowing the health benefits of each tea. It made me feel better about drinking them and I found myself picking certain ones based on the benefits I wanted while tasting instead of based on flavor like I usually pick out my teas.
Pros: The focus on wellness makes this box stand out. Great for those who want tasty tea with health benefits in their life. Two sizes to choose from so you don’t get too much or too little.
Cons: Doesn’t have the in-depth customization some other boxes offer.
As always you can follow me on instagram for more tea photos and reviews. If you have any experience with this box or favorite teas from it please share!
