Tea for Readers: Curated Loose-Leaf Sampler Flight Box

Four Loose-Leaf Tea Blends in a Pocket Kraft Slide Box for Focused Reading Sessions

Designed as a tasting flight for home reading routines and literary gifting, each Tea for Readers box contains four individually sealed loose-leaf pouches yielding 8 to 10+ total cups of tea. Packaged in a compact natural kraft slide box secured with a cream paper belly band, each flight gathers distinct flavor profiles to match specific reading moods—from brisk morning pages to late-night chapter reading.

Each blend uses whole-leaf teas, dried fruit pieces, and culinary botanicals that unfurl completely in standard tea strainers or infusers. Whether selected as an introduction to loose-leaf brewing or packaged as a standalone gift, these flights deliver authentic small-batch tea without bulky tins or single-use teabags.

Steeping Guidelines & Re-Steeping

• Black & Herbal Blends: Steep 1 pouch (approx. 1 rounded tsp) in 8 oz boiling water (212°F / 100°C) for 3 to 5 minutes (herbals may steep 5 to 7 minutes).
• Oolong & White Blends: Steep 1 pouch in 8 oz steaming water (195°F / 90°C) for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Getting the Most from Your Leaves: Because these are whole-leaf botanicals rather than crushed tea dust, the leaves can and should be re-steeped. A second steep yields a smooth, rich cup; a third steep offers a lighter, delicate infusion.
