User questions & answers

Question:	Are these all decaffeinated
Answer:	I bought the box for a gift and I am not sure, sorry.
Question:	Is this the real presentation box and not a rip off? The description says there's only 10 pyramids
Answer:	I have the same question. The description for this product says, "Tea Forte Herbal Retreat Presentation Box, Handcrafted Pyramid Tea Infusers, Relaxing Herbal Tea, 20 Count", but the image shows 10 and the Product Description says 10. This one is priced just under $30. There is another version that is $20 and says "10 Count". The company sells a 10 and a 20 count version. I think this one should be 20. Here is the link for the 10 count for $20 https://www.amazon.com/Tea-RETREAT-Presentation-Handcrafted-Infusers/dp/B01693D2ZG/.
Question:	Do I need a tea defuser
Answer:	No. The tea is in a single-serving sachet.
Question:	is it decaf
Answer:	It is not decaffeinated, but the tea is very good! The packaging is beautiful also! I highly recommend this tea either for a gift or for your enjoyment.

User questions & answers

Question:	How many do u get
Answer:	there are a total of 10 servings
Question:	Are any of these teas made with artifical sweetners
Answer:	It's been a while but I usually don't buy anything with artificial ingredients/sweetners and I believe one of the pictures has the ingredients if you want to double check. I gave this as a gift but I have tried a few of the flavors and they are great. I tend to like sweeter teas but these didn't seem too sweet to me.
Question:	What exactly are the "natural flavors" listed on the ingredient label
Answer:	Black Currant Tea, blackberry leaves and natural black currant flavor. EARL GREY (Organic) Black tea, cornflower petals, natural bergamot flavor and natural orange flavor. ENGLISH BREAKFAST (Organic) black tea. ESTATE DARJEELING (organic) black tea. ORGANIC VANILLA black tea. Natural vanilla flavor, coconut pieces and other natural flavors.
Question:	The description does not match the photo. Please advise
Answer:	The photo shows the petite presentation box open with the 10 pyramid infusers inside. The infusers are presented in the gold foil lined wrapper, which you cannot see because they are closed. The detailed menu is on the inside of the cover and the blends in the package match those in the description.

User questions & answers

Question:	Unfortunately none of the photos show the ingredients. Do these contain artificial flavors/aroma aka synthetic flavors? Thanks
Answer:	If you don't mind minty tea, you'll like these. No artificial taste and the ingredients are real.
Question:	What is the sugar content of one serving
Answer:	Carbs are less than 1gram per serving. I have to remain conscious of my carbs because I am on an insulin pump. They have labors but the carb was far less than what I can even consider dosing for.
Question:	ounces
Answer:	I no longer have the box; only some individual packets and the ounces is on those packets. For my personal taste - one packet was not enough for two cups and too much for one cup.
Question:	Does this tea have caffeine in it or is it decaffeinated
Answer:	Certain herbal varieties are decaf. Black, white and green teas all have varying amounts of caffeine. Stick to herbal teas and read the ingredients to make sure that there is no caffeine. Hope this helps!

Loose Leaf Tea Canisters

Tea Forte's exceptional tea experience begins with handcrafted, uncommon, limited-availability teas, cultivated in just the right place at just the right time. Unlike other loose leaf teas offered on the market, we travel thousands of miles to procure the finest whole leaves, many of which are seldom offered outside their country of origin. As a result, our loose leaf offerings are distinctive, expressive and memorable.

Why choose loose leaf tea?

Loose leaf tea is precisely what it sounds like: tea that comes to the kitchen loose, without the confinement of a single-serving bag or infuser. Much like a bulk spice, grain, or salt you might bring home from your local market, loose leaf teas are meant to be measured by hand during the preparation process, which typically takes place with a pot and strainer, a metal or silicone infuser, or a tea press (i.e., a French press used for tea).

Loose Tea Variety

Whether it’s a simple black tea you’re after, a flavored green tea, a rare herbal blend, or a gourmet oolong, you’re likely to find it in loose leaf form. Most of our pyramid infuser teas are also available in loose leaf canisters, so luckily, you won’t have to look far.

Single Blend Canisters

Each recyclable, aluminum canister contains approximately 35-50 servings (or 12 servings for our 1oz Matcha Canisters) and can be prepared as a hot tea or iced.

Loose Tea Accessory

Steep a generous 12oz cup of loose tea in minutes with our KATI Steeping Cup, which includes an integrated stainless steel infuser and lid. Choose from over 20 unique designs.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this a fair trade company? I'm hoping so, although it's not stated
Answer:	yes is absolutely exquisite
Question:	Are these organic teas
Answer:	I'm not 100% sure but I didn't see anything on the packaging that indicates it being organic. So I would say no.
Question:	is this a kosher product
Answer:	Only the Green Mango Peach and the Jasmine Green are Kosher in the tea Chest.
Question:	Can anyone advise how much water to use with each pyramid infuser for optimum results
Answer:	Each infuser is good for two nice cups of tea. If using a teapot, sometimes you want one or two infusers, depending on the size of the teapot.

User questions & answers

Question:	It says in several places on this listing that these teas are Caffeine Free. That is a mistake, correct
Answer:	Thank you for your question. Our Black Tea Loose Leaf Trio is not caffeine free.
Question:	How do you open
Answer:	These are very hard to open. The top one wiggles off and I, repeatedly, pinched my fingers while trying to wiggle off. I simply could not get the bottom two open. Not with a knife or a church key opener. I moved these into baggies and threw out the tins. Btw, I do not have any condition which makes me weaker than normal.
