What's in the Tea Starter Set with Paper Filters?

The Tea Starter Set with Paper Filters contains two things: 100 Paper Tea Filters and 12 pre-measured loose tea portions - everything you need to brew loose leaf tea without owning any other teaware. The filters are made in Germany from chlorine-free bleached wood and hemp fibers, 7 inches tall and 3 inches wide, with an open top that folds over the rim of any mug. The 12 tea portions are pre-measured single-cup samples from Adagio's best-selling teas. Total cost: $14.

The Four Tea Collections to Choose From

When you order the Tea Starter Set with Paper Filters, you choose one of four 12-portion tea collections:

• Best Sellers - the widest variety: Irish Breakfast, Earl Grey Bravo, Peppermint, Gunpowder, Masala Chai, Honeybush Banana Nut, Samurai Mate, Peach Oolong, and more. The right choice if you don't know where to start - this collection covers black, green, herbal, chai, and oolong in a single set.
• Black Teas - 12 black tea portions: Assam, Darjeeling, Ceylon, Lapsang Souchong, breakfast blends. The right choice if you primarily drink black tea and want to explore the full range.
• Green Teas - 12 green tea portions: Dragonwell, Gyokuro, Sencha, Jasmine, Gunpowder, and more. The right choice for green tea drinkers new to loose leaf.
• Herbal Teas - 12 herbal and caffeine-free portions: Chamomile, Peppermint, Spearmint, Lemongrass, Rooibos, and fruit herbals. The right choice for caffeine-free drinkers.

Why the Paper Filters Edition Is the Most Beginner-Friendly Starter Set

Of the three Adagio Tea Starter Sets, the Paper Filters edition has the lowest barrier to entry - and for new loose leaf tea drinkers, that matters:

• No equipment to learn - the ingenuiTEA and simpliciTEA starter sets include teapots that need to be learned and cleaned. The Paper Filters set requires nothing: fill a filter, fold it over your mug, pour hot water. The method is familiar to anyone who has made tea from a teabag.
• Works with any mug you own - the 7-inch filters fold over the rim of virtually any standard mug. No special vessel required.
• Most portable - paper filters pack flat. The Tea Starter Set with Paper Filters is the right version for buyers who travel, work from offices without teaware, or want to send loose leaf tea to a recipient without shipping fragile teapots.
• Most affordable - at $14 vs $29 for the teapot sets, this is the lowest-cost complete loose leaf tea starter kit in the Adagio range.
