Himalayan Wine soon my favorite

I ordered the Himalayan Wine tea for the first time. I'm having my first cup right now, and I am pleasantly surprised. This may become my favorite tea! I love the full bodied taste, and yes, it has a slight hint of wine.

Oh my!

Like drinking a poem in moonlight. This tea manages to be both bright and brooding at the same time. Velvety and absolutely complex and lingering. My paradigm has been shattered. If you feel like an anachronism and want a taste of an incarnation just at the edge of your memory, this is the tea for you.

Real Tea, The Way It's Meant To Be

There is no comparison between Teabox tea and any tea I've tried. Drinking Teabox tea is a sensory experience: the fresh smell; the smooth, balanced, and nuanced taste; and the rich, clear colour.

I've become a daily tea drinker like my father, who much preferred loose-leaf tea over bags. I know he'd really enjoy this exceptional tea that is now part of my ritual.

Poor packaging

I have received the Tea vey nicely packed and sent, but the packet provided for keeping the tea was torn and was reported to you on WhatsApp. Till date no clarification received. If we get such service from you then this will be my last order.

High on caffeine and delicious

High on caffeine and tasty with lemon and ginger, as well as milk. Your everyday fix kind of a good quality tea.

I am not an aficionado, so do not know the difference between finer notes in flavor. I can just say that I liked the aroma and the flavor.

Red as wine

The Himalayan wine tea is a delight. I love the aroma and flavor of this tea. The steeping process is very important. If you over do it, it tastes a bit bitter. I prefer to steepen it for 4-6 mins. I let it stay for a while (1 min) before i drink it. The after taste is really good. Does not make your mouth dry. I prefer to drink this blend either in the morning/afternoon.

HWT.: Nothing compares to this one!

I like to drink my black tea with milk, So read on if you like to do the same.
The way I use Himalayan Wine Tea is to brew it as per instructions and then add some milk to get the color and finally add a pinch of my gold CTC or some other black Assams, brink to boil and shut the heat and let it brew. for a couple of minutes.
This way I get the wonderful base taste of high fired tobacco with a tinge of CTC. This may appall the singular black tea connoisseur but that's the way I love to drink my Himalayan Wine Tea.
I have tried nearly 20+ tea from teabox. Ordered many varieties but nothing compares to this one. The many I got reading reviews were average to flops for me as compared to this one. So have been regularly getting the samples of this one for myself and friends. I am hooked. Do give it a try and enjoy the high caffeine till it lasts.

Wonderful!

I absolutely love teabox!!! Love the blends and the teas just one suggestion to add flower teas, which basically have a flower bud that is brewed to make the tea. That would be a great addition and would sell at a good price as well.

I haven't received the consignment.

I haven't received the consignment. The tracking message says my address is not locatable. This is the second time the courier has not bothered to call me to locate my address.

Refreshing

Refreshing after a tiring day. Try with pure honey and milk. Tip: Add cold milk in hot water and then tea. Add honey before serving

Prompt services

I loved the tea, really liked 2/3 complimentary tea samples provided. Delivery was on time. (site doesn't provide details on delivery though) And an exemplary customer service. My sister recommended it to me after your customer service called to enquirie why she canceled her order at payment gateway and to provide feedback on how teabox can improve her experience next time. I really liked that quality, which is a rare quality nowadays. As for the packaging, even better than the ones Amazon uses on 50k phones.. Keep it up.

A grand cup of tea!

An eye-opening cup of tea in the morning full of flavour and satisfaction. I love the smokiness of the flavour with the hint of sweetness.

Woody & Smoky

I have ordered this before and it did not seem so smoky, but this time the woody, smoky flavor came through really nicely. It is smooth. I brew all my teas very strongly and I like this a lot. Not bitter. It didn't seem so high caffeine to me. But, I could really taste the tobacco and wood flavors. I did not really taste the cocoa. Maybe I unaware of what the cocoa would be like in a tea..... this is a great afternoon tea. It is a unique treat.

Very smooth

It was a very unique experience.
It was very smooth and rich in flavour, although I felt it was a little weaker than I want my high caffeine teas to be.
I couldn't identify tobacco as I've never had it.

Universal tea

This tea is a delight! Deep and smokey without bitterness. Woody aroma and rich liquor and no bitterness at all! It can be easy paired with sweets or cheeses. You won;t make a mistake by ordering it - it is good for everything and everybody.

Toasty

This is a really interesting tea. The aroma made me think I would not like it but I do. I would describe the flavour as toasted rather than smokey. It has nice smooth medium body. Slightly sweet with no bitterness. It surprised me!
