"I'm glad I've branched out from Earl Grey and English Breakfast, even if I didn't always enjoy the experience. Of this sampler, I was satisfied with the Yunan Gold, which is just a good, quality black tea. The Keenun Rhapsody fared better, although I'm not sure I'd buy it on it's own. The Pu Erh Dante was a big loser in my household. My husband says it was "okay," but I couldn't get past the fact that it smelled like wet dog. Scent is a very important part of tea ritual for me. However, it is all made up for in the wonderful Golden Spring, which I think will be my new favorite black tea. Tell the Earl I'll miss him."

"This sampler is a great way to try 4 different teas. Golden Spring, Keemun Rhapsody and Yunnan Gold are excellent, I would definitely order them all. However, Pu Erh Dante is awful - has a fishy smell and aftertaste - I can't even make it through my first cup, headed for the trash! The love it or hate it comment I read earlier is very true and this one I hate, certainly not my taste!"

"an excellent idea to have a slightly more specialized sampler for us lovers of black tea (needers of caffeine). I didn't enjoy the earl grey bravo as much as I thought I would based on other reviews - something too fruity for earl grey is happening there for me. Love the irish breakfast!"

"We discovered we're not fans of the Keemun varieties. The rest, though, was fantastic!"
