7 Ways a Subscription Box is The Best Way to Start Hot Tea

We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this review or post, but all opinions are our own.

I received my second subscription box from SIPSBY.com in my mailbox and I am thrilled to be finding new favorite tea varieties.

This winter, we are planning to cut our coffee consumption. The older I get, I find that I don’t tolerate coffee on an empty stomach, nor can I do the endless pots my younger self enjoyed. I still long for a hot cup in my hands in the mid-afternoons.

Not Sure Where to Start

I was once a huge tea drinker but have not bought an untested tea in ages. I don’t like being disappointed and I hate wasting money, so I tend to default to Earl Grey. Which is fine, but there has to be another way to reintroduce great teas into me life without the risk of wasting my time and money.

If you are looking for a way to add the health benefits of tea without creating a whole new hobby for your self, then SIPSby is the right choice for you. Here are seven reasons why I recommend their box.

Choose Your Caffeine Level

The first thing I did after I submitted my order for a subscription box, was to fill out a personalized survey. Next, I was asked a bunch of questions, from types of tea I liked, to the level of caffeination I desired. The survey also asked about dietary restrictions, so everyone can find plenty of options that meet their needs.

Huge Variety of Teas To Choose

If you are not sure what teas are out there, you are in good company. I know a few varieties, but since my Sipsby.com boxes I have discovered, white tea, herbal chai, gunpowder black tea (which was awesome), oolong and mojito for iced tea among many others. This is the very reason that I signed up. I want to expand my tastes without the risk of getting stuck with a pound of a tea I don’t like.

The Perfect Cup & No Guesswork

I didn’t need to become a tea aficionado either. A fact sheet came with my box describing each tea, with a complete flavor profile, the amount to use per cup, optimal water temperature and steep time for the perfect cup every time. If you are my mother there is even a recommendation if the tea lends itself to re-steeping. (Spice girl can be steeped 2x)

Small Box Offers Big Variety

Are you afraid of getting stuck with a tea you don’t like? Fear no more. In my boxes I received teas that had an average of three servings in a resealable pouch. This month the white tea came in the cutest little tin. I didn’t like the herbal chai when I tried it plain. It would have been much better with cream. I had one cup, I made my husband try one and there is one cup for when my mama comes over. I am never stuck with a tea I don’t love. The Austin based company sources from 150 global tea growers, so the variety is great while the risk is less than tea cup.

One of my favorite features is the little fillable tea bags. They have made using loose tea a no-brainer. The unbleached bags are user and environment friendly. Grabbing one makes it easy to tuck a pouch of tea in my purse. I can sip a fresh cup of tea anytime. Like while I am writing at the ballet studio waiting for my girl’s classes to end.

Great Gift Choice

Giving is easy at Sipsby.com subscriptions are available in 3, 6 and 12 month increments. Each month during the subscription your favorite teacher, Auntie or adorable hipster will receive four premium teas. Next, your gift is matched specifically to their survey. They get to enjoy fifteen cups of hot, delicious, new tea varieties, and to up to forty-five re-steeped cups. (Mom)

Giving is easier than ever. You choose the length of time and pay for the subscription box. Sipsby will send you the link within 30 minutes. The best part is that you simply send the coupon code for the subscription. Your gift recipient does all of the signing up. Giving subscriptions without having to tie your personal credit card information means truly hassle free giving.

Give Consumables for Sustainability

I have come to the place in life where I love to give consumables. I don’t need any more clutter in my cabinets and I assume my friends don’t either. I’ve already shared my love of subscription boxes as gifts. Now, I can add SIPSby to my list. The best part is, they are a female led, US based, small company. Their subscription boxes are consumable, unique, beautiful and completely personalized.

Many of the tea growers are free trade and use sustainability practices in their operations. When you find a tea variety you really love you can easily order it. First, you can find the discounts for the varieties printed right on the description card in your subscription box. Most were anywhere from 15-30% of when you order from a specific brand. Also, the company social profile and contact information on the description card. It is easy to add your new favorite teas to your pantry.
