Tea Box Express ships in a plan white box with the logo on the side.

First Look:  The presentation was very nice.  I noticed that cookie right away.

The inside lid discusses the theme “Bee Happy”  Tea Box Express recommends making a list of things that make you happy and taking time to do things that bring you joy.

There was a quote in the box ” Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be”. – Abraham Lincoln

Tentulia Black Tea $8.99  This tea 100% organic and is grown in Northern Bangladesh.  This was a great tea to get in  this box.  Black tea is my husband's favorite kind of tea.  My husband tried this and he liked it, but it wasn't his favorite tea.  Once he added the hone (keep reading), he said the tea was really good.

Savannah Bee Company Tea Company: $5.50:  This is 100% pure honey and added the right amount of sweetness to the tea.

Teapot Honey Dipper  $3.75  My husband loves honey, usually we buy the bear, but we don't have a honey dipper, until now.  This is much cleaner than a spoon.

The Decorated Cookie Company $5.63  I personally don't drink tea, but I love a big iced sugar cookie.  This cookie is really good and quite filling.

Tea Bag Holder est $5.00  When I first saw this, I thought it was for your spoon, but this is for your tea bag.  It is a cute little dish and you could use it for either purpose.

Final Thought:  This post contained a total value of $28.87, which is a bit higher than the cost of the box.  The tea was tasty with the honey and the cookie tasted great.  This was a nice tea box and you can subscribe and get his box.  Regular boxes will start shipping in October.  To get this box, click HERE.
