DAVIDsTEA’s Around the World Set

DAVIDsTEA’s Around the World set contains twelve teas. Each tea is loose in a small tin with a see-through cap.

  1. Cinnamon Heart
  2. Cream of Earl Grey
  3. Creme Brûlée
  4. David’s Organic Breakfast
  5. Dragon Pearls
  6. Japanese Sencha
  7. Jumpy Monkey
  8. North African Mint
  9. Saigon Chai
  10. Sweet Dreams
  11. Vanilla Oolong
  12. White Tiger

The packaging is impressively attractive, with the added bonus of a magnetic lip on the lid to help keep it shut. The patterned print on the box is well designed, but even the inside is attractive, containing a dual French/English manual of sorts.

Inside DAVIDsTEA's Around the World Set

The particular collection of teas in this box seems a bit miss-mashed, but there’s something for almost everyone in it. It really tries to take you on a trip Around the World with flavors from Africa to China to Europe to Japan. The quality impresses, and you’ll get more than two cups from each tiny tin.

The Manual for DAVIDsTEA's Around the World Set

Audience: This Around the World set is sure to be popular with almost any tea drinker. There’s not too much or too little of any one tea ‘type.’ On top of that there’s some pure, some blended and some tisane all in one box!

Value: This set costs $26.50 USD. The amount of tea included and the breadth of this collection has me flabbergasted at the value compared to other sets on the market. A good buy for sure!

    Really great idea, Chris. It’s of limited value to me because I don;t live in America, but I applaud your efforts.

    Thanks for the feedback. The set from Taylors of Harrogate was from the UK, but perhaps next year I could get some nice sets from all over the world!

    Whoa this is pretty in depth. I’ve been buying a lot of tea gift sets to give to people for Christmas this year, and there are a few really good suggestions on this list.

    Here’s a list of one’s that I’ve been buying and had good results with…but I may have to take some of your suggestions.
