I first had a cup of tea from Tea Leaves while staying at Pelican Hill on my honeymoon. Normally, I tend towards a cup of espresso in the morning; but after a late night of drinking I went for a more subtle and calming start to my day. I was hooked before the bag finished steeping. After checkout and before packing the car with my luggage, I saved the Tea Leaves URL to my cell phone and as soon as I got home I was browsing their selections trying to find one that was right for me. This is not your run-of-the-mill box of tea from a local grocer or caffeine based beverage establishment; and committing to a specific type for what would be several months of tea consumption for a fellow as myself could prove to be costly and rend my cravings for tea asunder. Enter: The Daily Rituals Aroma Sampler. A perfect medium of cost, flavor assortment, and quantity to pique my interest and undoubtedly generate more business from family and friends that share in a cup during the holidays. A word from experience, read the flavor profile before you read the pricing. Not a single description is missing, not a single flavor described is lacking, and if it catches your interest, add it to the cart and enjoy your new morning ritual.

Enjoyed the tea very much. Some of the varieties I've had many times, and these didn't seem a whole lot different. No complaints.

Really appreciated that the teas ranged from caffeine-free to mid- and high-caffeine content -- a perfect sampler of teas!
