Super Mix Puerh Tea Box

Dear Tea Lovers, please welcome the Super Mix Puerh Tea Box!

We are excited to introduce our new Puerh Tea mini tuocha mix, a true treasure of flavors and aromas that we can't wait for you to discover. With so many delightful variations, you're sure to find your favorite puerh tea to enjoy solo and with tea friends.

You might be wondering how this special box came to be!

It all started when our tea friend, Jeff (@its_always_tea_oclock), organized a giveaway for tea enthusiasts. The goal was to help Kim (@lil_teapot_78), the creator and facilitator of the Student Wellbeing "Stress ReLeaf" tea workshop at Boston University, gain more followers on Instagram. This would enable her to go live and record her workshops, allowing more curious minds to learn about tea and destress at the same time (how awesome is that!).

Jeff reached out to us, looking for a starter kit of puerh tea minis to purchase (!) and gift to the giveaway winner. Since we didn't have a pre-arranged mix, we asked Jeff to select his preferred teas from our offerings, and he kindly agreed. With his experience of trying over 1500 teas (!!!), Jeff truly understands what other tea lovers might enjoy.

A big thank you to Jeff for his continuous support of the tea community! If you ever in Wisconsin, check his tea bar @jacksonteabar !
