Too Small for Tea
This 16 oz. Teapot will only hold 16 oz. of water if there is nothing else in the pot including the tea. If you use the included infuser it might hold 8 oz. Be aware it's so small the tea may not bloom properly. I wanted a teapot to make two cups of tea. I'll look for a 24 oz. or 40 oz. now instead.

Cute!I saw this gift in person and then decided to buy one for a friend. It's a great Easter/springtime way to say "thank you" or even just "hello!" The treats are yummy and the watering can is an adorable planter!

Nothing specialI've tried every flavor now and they have consistently been worse than your typical store bought Bigelow.
This tastes like C-grade tea put in a nice package.
It isn't a good gift for a tea drinker. They will spot the poor tea the second they brew it.
Aside from the bland taste except for the Earl Grey which taste like soap they also don't have the aroma that you get when you brew a good grade tea. The package sold here comes with 2 but I'm going to try to give the other one away and buy more Bigelow.

Not the Real Thing
I was given a genuine jasmine flower tea and loved it so was looking to buy some. Thought I found it based on this picture and description. However this is not a flower. It is tea and some pedals stitched together with thread... not a genuine blooming flower.

Fancy tea!
The teas are very tasty. The tins appear to be air-tight so the teas stay fresh for a long time. The gift box is cardboard but sturdy. And really everything you need but a mug and some hot water are included in this gift set.
Two minor complaints:
The tea pot strainer is a bit tedious to clean. I can't figure a way to clean it without rinsing tea bits down the garbage disposal. So I don't use it at work where there isn't a garbage disposal.
I think the recommended amount of tea per cup is a bit high. I've cut back to about half their amounts and still get a very flavorful cup of tea.

Great Gift for a Tea LoverI ordered this gift box for my mother for Christmas. She was very impressed with the quality and uncommon selection. It was exactly what I was looking for with no "filler" items.
