Numi Organic Tea Flowering Gift Set in Handcrafted Mahogany Bamboo Chest: Glass Teapot & 6 Flowering Tea Blossoms

Numi Organic Tea Flowering Gift Set in Handcrafted Mahogany Bamboo Chest: Glass Teapot & 6 Flowering Tea Blossoms
  • I got this set a few weeks ago, and have tried most of the teas that came with it.The teapot itself is somewhat fragile (especially if you are used to Beehouse brand), but is well worth the extra care. After the novelty of flowering tea wears out, you will still be able to amaze your guests with the beautiful sight of tea leaves unfolding into a gorgeous flower.This is not your every day after-work-relaxing experience for several reasons. Cost, for one. The flavor of the tea itself is also not what you are used to. If you are a serious tea gourmand, you might be put off by the exotic experience, and you might have a better teapot for your cherished first flush darjeeling (or silver needle, for…
  • I was really excited about ordering this set and thrilled when it came. I have noticed something unexpected about the teas, however. With the teas I have tried from this set I have noticed an unpleasant dry aftertaste. Another taster noticed the same thing without my mentioning it.I really like the glass tea pot. It is very nice to watch the tea fill the glass orb with color and flavor. Whether the flowers are beautiful or look more like sea urchins will be a matter of personal taste.I had high hopes for the Starlight Rose Tea (white tea leaves with rosebud) and found it far inferior to Rose Petal Black Blended Tea by The Republic of Tea, which is excellent. On the other hand, Numi's Moroccan…

thinkThin Protein Bar, Dark Chocolate, Gluten Free, 2.1-Ounce Bars (Pack of 10)
  • I loved the taste of these, which is what earned it the high marks (dark chocolate was by far the best, although I've tried some other flavors and enjoyed them somewhat, with the exception of white chocolate). They're a great snack, rather filling and high in protein, although they're a bit smaller than what I'd like. Nevertheless, I wish they didn't advertise its health benefits so much and so deceptively--maltitol also increases blood glucose and is somewhat absorbed, so it is not really a free carbohydrate. "Sugar-free" is just confusing. They should consider sweetening it with sucralose and stop making a big deal about its "natural" qualities--who here thinks that packaged…
  • I eat one of these mid-morning and don't get hungry again until 2 pm, they hit the spot and have lots of protein.

Timothy's World Coffee, Original Donut Blend, 24-Count K-Cups for Keurig Brewers (Pack of 2)

Timothy's World Coffee, Original Donut Blend, 24-Count K-Cups for Keurig Brewers (Pack of 2)
  • Sadly, I searched for this game without luck for years (I had read a review in Nintendo Power).. and then my friend and I found it on Amazon.com, and she bought it for me for Christmas. (I owe you, Zillu ._.)Anyway, the game focuses around evolution (cough cough) (Pokémon fans, take a look at this) (cough cough). You start out as a fish in the age of fishes, and then move on to the age of amphibians. After this comes the age of reptiles, and here's where the fun really begins. At this point, you can have four legs, 2 legs, or even become a bird. After this, you may be a bird, dinosaur, or mammal.. and later on, you may even evolve into a human.It's an interesting and original game that lets…
  • i used to rent this game as a kid - would play it all weekend. there is a lot to do in this game, but i just wanted to say how much fun it is! they did not make many copies of this game (which is why its so rare and expensive), but to the publisher's surprise - the game was a hit!

Grove Square Cider Cups, Spiced Apple, Single Serve Cup for Keurig K-Cup Brewers, 24-Count
  • The cider is overly sweet and has a weird after taste, I'm guessing from the artificial sugar. I couldn't really distinguish any apple taste. A better alternative is Green Mountain Naturals Hot Apple Cider. This was a waste of money for me
  • This product has a nasty aftertaste because it is sweetened with aspertame, not sugar. It is overly sweet and has little apple flavour. Buy a different brand unless you especially like an artificial sweetener. Had I known about the aspertame, I would not have bought this brand.

Sushi Chef Sushi Making Kit

,
Sushi Chef Sushi Making Kit
  • I have been a sushi fan for many years, but have always been shy about making it myself. After searching online at the dozens of different options, I decided to go with the Sushi Chef Sushi Making Kit. And I wasn't disappointed. Too many sushi kits out there offer just the rolling mat, or dishes and the rolling mat, but no spoon, or all the dishes but no edible components.With this kit, you have the mat, the spoon, and all the edibles necessary sans the actual fillings (fish, veggies, etc.) And not only does the kit have edible components, they are top notch. The wasabi is scorchingly spicy, the rice vinegar is tangy, and the rice cooks and clumps together with ease. The soy sauce and wasabi…
  • The kit gave us the kick in the butt we needed to start making our own sushi, but if we had really sat down and thought about it, we could have saved about half just buying the stuff ourself. You can buy most of what you need at your local grocery store. Would I recommend this product? Only if you are lazy like us!
