The teas are spectacular, as is the "comminitea" the founder, Zhena, has created with weekly virtual tea ceremonies. I'd considered the teas for months (maybe even years) before making my first purchase to substitute for alcohol during a dry month. I've always been into caffeine, but to offset my evening cocktail habit, I needed to find some non-caffeinated alternatives. Magic hour teas have changed my lifestyle - I take short, mindful breaks 5-6 times per day and just experience the tea. In total, the twenty minutes I spend each day have improved my well-being. I struggle with routines, but incorporating mini tea ceremonies throughout my day has been easy, largely because the tea is deliciously satisfying. The sample pouches are generous and cost between $10-12. Shipping costs $7 for US domestic shipping, so I find myself making large purchases every few months to stock up. I've ordered additional samples as gifts, and everyone who has tried the teas has been impressed. In most cases, after trying the teas, I've ordered the larger bags. Specifically, with the Ruby Moon tea, I've ordered the biggest bag possible and drink it by the liter daily. Hot, iced, in a cocktail, or a lightened-up sangria...I really like this stuff. I am not the only one turning these teas into boozy delights. Zhena has tea-inspired cocktail recipes on her site and YouTube and many others have shared their creations. I often lust after new teas, but the shipping adds up. I'd relish the opportunity to try more teas with reduced shipping on the sample pouches. The largest sale I've observed has been 15%, so bigger promotions would also help my tea budget (which is something I did not know I needed before Magic Hour).
