Loose Leaf Tea Sampler by Pinky Up

Let me start by saying im a HUGE fan of dessert teas. This sampler box is phenomenal! I was set to be disappointed in at least one tea in the box, but they are all delicious! The velvet cake tastes more like an almond croissant, but that may be because I read the ingredients list. And the lavender honey tastes a lot like just honey, but its still wonderful. I wish more were caffeine-free, and also that there were more like 5 of each tea instead of 3. But theres another box in my cart right now. 5/5 stars, will for sure purchase again.

I used these in gift boxes for my bridesmaids. They are very cutely packaged, and I kept and use the leftovers for myself! I will probably re-order just to have some for myself because they were so good!

This tea set is very good. It’s strong if you let it steep and tastes really good. I haven’t tried them all yet but the ones I have have been so very good. Highly recommend. Comes in a nice box with the teas separate from each other. Makes a nice gift

Pinky Up's tea sampler comes in a cute gift box with the five tea flavors inside. The flavors in the sampler are Earl Grey Macaron, Honey Lavender, Coconut Crème, Red Velvet and Raspberry Truffle. There are three pouches of each flavor, enough for fifteen total cups. The red velvet cake and raspberry truffle are both mate based. Mate, a species of holly, is a caffeinated tea that's more popular in South America than in the states. The Red Velvet cake tastes kind of like cake, though I don't get the chocolate that I expected to come through. The raspberry truffle tastes like berry almond candy. It's the first I tried, and it's not overly sweet at all, even with the stevia. I don't often sweeten my tea. It has a nice dessert flavor though and is surprisingly good. Earl Grey Macaron, the black tea, does have the traditional flavor of bergamot, plus something extra. Coconut Crème is a white tea and has a tropical coconut flavor. And honey lavender, an herbal rooibos, has a hint of lavender with strong honey notes. The teas are all really good. I expected them to be sweeter based on previous reviews and was bracing myself for a sugar influx - but was really pleasantly surprised with how much of the dessert flavors come through without any of the added sweetness. Like unsweetened sparkling water, these are flavorful but not sugary. They'd make a wonderful gift, as the box and pouches are very presentable, but also would be a great way to introduce yourself to Pinky Up and find your favorite. As a devout loose leaf tea drinker, I approve.

Unboxing this tea is a delight. The sampler box came perfectly packaged. My daughter literally squealed when she saw the pretty box sitting on our dining room table, “Mom! Is this tea? Can we try it!?” We we’re both excited to brew these. Each one is named perfectly based on its fragrance and flavor. They taste like little desserts in your cup and the aroma is scrumptious. The tea itself is very pretty - a mix of tea leaves and colorful flower petals. Some blends also have bits of chocolate or dried fruit. There wasn’t a single flavor that I didn’t like, but the Coconut Crème might be my favorite. These would make a lovely gift, but also feel like special occasion teas, or something that you serve yourself when you need a little treat. I love them!

More flavor than other brands on here.

Smart idea to sell these samplers so they can get you hooked on these tasty teas! If you're a tea lover you will enjoy these, they're definitely different than others I've tried. The flavors taste real and fresh, not artificial. It's impressive for being zero calorie. I did add plenty of sugar to each! I'm picky on what flavors I liked but I tried each of them and they were all good. I favored the earl grey and raspberry flavors. You definitely need the equipment to brew loose leaf tea if you're going to try this. I had to order special because I didn't have anything on hand. Definitely give it a try.

I love the presentation of tea in this box. It’s very cute and practical and would absolutely make a wonderful gift for a tea lover. I’m still working my way through the flavors. Three are high caff, there’s a white tea, and a rooibos tea. I noticed the tea is on the fine end of the spectrum so use a finer mesh infuser or bag if you want to avoid leaves in your tea. I’m a fan of yerba mate so I’m pleased to see two flavors in the sampler. The coconut cream white and Earl Grey macaron taste great. I wasn’t terribly crazy about the honey lavender, but I’m not crazy about the taste of rooibos in general. Raspberry truffle and red velvet cake were easily my favorites. I’m disappointed to see only the red velvet cake is available in tins.
