Got my DHL package today!!!
It is the Karel Capek Tea that I ordered online!
I love the gift pack!!!!! So Cute!!!
These are the packages, it was a ‘hard’ time to choose which one I should try first.
I decided to try the 5 o’clock Afternoon Herb
When I first opened the 5 o’clock package, the aroma of orange just came out right away.
I love it, because it is packed with the bio-degradable tea bags which allow you to experience the full flavour of the tea.
This tea is a herb tea with rose hips, blueberry, orange skin and Egyptian, and it is from Spain, Thailand and Bulgaria.
It is a very interesting flavour, it gives you a surprise.
A moderate flavour of blueberries when you take a sip.
I just found on the internet that rose hips are really good for the body
- good for the heart
- prevent flu
- prevent CVD problems
- it has good vitamins and minerals in it (esp. Rich in Vitamin C)
- treatment for urinary tract disorders
It is interesting that I didn’t know there are differences between rose hips and rose buds (in functions), but it is good for skin anyway & good for health!
Overall experience: Good and I love the packages, it is a great way to give gifts for friends! Highly recommend!
I have not seen these tea bags. Glad that you mentioned it.

Posted by Tea or coffee? It's a tea blog | December 9, 2011, 1:51 pmWhere’d you order the Karel Capek tea from? I ordered a tin last year from the Japanese shopping site, Rakuten, but I wondered if you’d found an easier way of ordering it. I’ve been on the actual Karel Capek Teatime Shop site, but I don’t think you can order from it if you’re outside of Japan.
