Kusmi Tea Collection

I happened upon a Kusmi store in the basement of The Plaza in NYC and thought I had ascended into heaven! The saleswoman was very helpful in explaining the company, and had a nice display where I got to smell each tea and had fun trying to identify some ingredients (bergamot, orange, cinnamon, etc). I bought two black tea sampler packs (five tins each), a package of a variety of bagged tea, and a cute three-way sand timer (which measures the proper brewing times for white, green or black tea). I liked the teas so much, my husband bought me this Collection as a gift. I have now turned into a total tea snob because Kusmi is truly the very best tea I have ever had! I pull out my Collection box and wow my lady friends with the presentation, then I ask if they feel like green, black or herbal tea, next I have them smell each tin to decide. Without fail, they agree it is the best tea they have ever tasted. By BEST TEA, I mean the tea itself is of superb quality, and the flavors are blended perfectly. The only thing Kusmi could do better would be to offer white tea choices. Enjoy!

Beautifully packaged, attractive, made a great gift for tea lover!!

I thought the box on the left was tea bags that were prepared already. It was my misunderstanding.

I LOVE Kusmi tea, and this gift box is really handsome and has a really nice selection—I am personally most fond of their classic black tea blends, but for those who like green and herbal as well it's perfect. Really the best tea I've ever had, as a brand.

It's a nice set, and would make a great gift. Mine arrived all beat up though, kind of disappointed.

Box was damaged. Unfortunately it was to be given as a gift.

Small selection of GT, BT, spices, citrus and mints with artificial flavoring and essential oils. Disappointed with the quality, as I expected all natural ingredients. Though the flavors are strong and exceptional packaging.

Great gift. Very presentable and elegant.
