‘Every Tea Type’ Connoisseur Gift Box

Description

Curious Tea ‘Every Tea Type’ Connoisseur Gift Box contains six small pouches of 10g each of all six main tea types. This tea selection gift box is perfect for exploring the differences and similarities between the different teas. We carefully handpicked these to showcase each type of tea and highlight how cultivation, terroir and, crucially, processing play their roles in turning the camellia sinensis plant into so many teas with such contrasting tastes.

We recommend purchasing this tea selection in gift packaging. This consists of an embossed gift box lined with mulberry paper that makes for a fantastic tea gift. This is the perfect way to present this unique tea gift to any tea lover.

This connoisseur gift box contains the following white, yellow, green, oolong, black and pu-erh teas:
