Twinings 4 Compartment Box & 40 Mixed Tea

The picture of the product makes it look extremely premium with the gold lettering and authentic Twining royal descriptions. Wood has a lovely grain and a variety of different teas to ‘taste’. Reality is different.The size of the product is ‘perfect’ for me and I don’t dislike the one shade of very dark wood which although darker than anticipated, ‘fitted’ in with my decor. I most definitely expected a nicer grain on the wood and truer to the ‘stock photo’. The very simple ‘Twinings’ inside and outside of the box is clearly not ‘authentic Twinings’ and cheapens the effect . Most disappointing was the tea selection of which 4 were offered. The lemon and ginger tasted like lemsip and unfortunately I will not be repeating an order for any of the other 3 herbal teas varieties on display either; they were ‘Green Tea’, ‘Strawberry & Rasberry’ and Pure Peppermint.If your looking for a dark wooden box to hold your preferred selection of teas (I’m fond of the ‘Twinings Superblends’ and ‘Pukka’ ranges) and the size fits then its probably worth a buy but price tag was to much for the quality.

I had to return the item as the box it self is not the one in the pictures description, they sent me the box with the words "Twining" in capital only, not with "Her majesty ..." in small print and beautiful logo in the bottom as in pictures!The wooden box was broken (not glued properly) also, otherwise the tea are the same.If you like the box in description, my suggestion is that please con firm with seller before buying as I had to return for refund and they are third party so it took quite awhile to get refund!

Lovely, elegant box.

I love it !! Used it several times as I hosted a few dinner parties over the festive season !!

Beautidul box

Great product, great service.

If you are hoping to get a decent tea selection with the box - then don't bother. The box in itself is very nice though.
