Tea Cultures - Discovery Box - 25 tea bags

The Discovery Box contains 25 individually wrapped tea bags of 2 grams, 50 grams in total, spread over 15 different tea and herbal varieties from the Tea Leaves Collection. Each bag states which blend it is, with the corresponding number from the collection. That way you know straight away which tea you want to reorder if you like a blend. The Discovery Box itself is number 16 from the collection.

That differs per bag. The box contains black and green tea, and these naturally contain caffeine, also known as theine. The rooibos, the fruit tea and the herbal blends in the box are naturally caffeine free. Each bag states which blend it contains, so you can choose per cup.

All blends in the Discovery Box are certified organic and largely Fairtrade. The ingredients come from organic cultivation, so without synthetic pesticides. You can read exactly which certifications apply on the packaging of the blend concerned.

Use one tea bag per cup and follow the brewing advice on the bag, because it differs per blend. Preferably use soft, low mineral water. For green tea we recommend water of around 80 degrees and a steeping time of 2 to 3 minutes, because boiling water quickly makes green tea bitter. Black tea and herbal infusions can steep hotter and longer.

No, the Discovery Box is a fixed tasting box with 15 blends from the Tea Leaves Collection. It is precisely that fixed composition that makes it suitable for tasting the full breadth of the collection in one go, from robust black tea to fresh herbal blends. If you like a blend, you then order it separately; the number on the bag helps you find it again.
