If you're a true tea lover, then the best tea subscription box is definitely something you'll need. Offering plenty of different flavours as well as delivery times, a tea subscription box can be life-changing. After all, we don't need National Tea Day (which falls on April 21) as an excuse to consume copious amounts of tea. So pop on the best kettle and make one of these special brews at home, whether it's first thing in the morning or after we've had a long, hard day.
It's refreshing, it's a social tradition, and it cures any ill. Plus, it's not just the ease of having it delivered to you every so often; they give you the opportunity to sample different flavours without having to buy a whole box each time. A 'try before you buy' if you will - where you can taste herbal teas to your heart's content. So, what is a tea subscription box? Well, quite simply, it's a selection of teas in a box that gets delivered to your doorstep.
