Tea Forte Tea Sampler — 10 Pyramid Infuser Bags, Botanical Blends with Tasting Guide

Tea Forte Tea Sampler is a curated box of 10 pyramid infuser bags featuring five gourmet blends inspired by The New York Botanical Garden for a refined, aromatic tasting experience.

This compact sampler brings together five distinct teas—Citrus Earl Grey, Mountain Oolong, Wildflower Honey Citrus, Ginger Lemongrass, and Tropical Passion Flower—each presented in Tea Forte's signature pyramid infusers and housed in an elegant tasting box. The collection was developed in collaboration with The New York Botanical Garden, drawing on botanical themes like tropical florals and rainforest notes to create memorable flavor profiles. The presentation includes a tasting guide so recipients can learn steep times, tasting notes, and suggested pairings.

What makes the pyramid infusers different from regular tea bags?

Tea Forte pyramid infusers are shaped to give whole or partially whole leaves space to unfurl, improving infusion and aroma compared with flat sachets. The design helps release volatile oils and delicate flavors while maintaining a clear cup for an attractive tea appearance.

• Handcrafted pyramid shape for optimal leaf expansion
• Fine mesh material that lets water circulate freely
• Each bag holds whole-leaf or large-leaf blends rather than dust
• Easy to remove and dispose with minimal mess

Which flavors are included and how do they differ?

The sampler includes five distinct blends, each offering a unique aromatic profile from citrus and bergamot brightness to floral and tropical sweetness. Together they span black, oolong, and herbal categories, giving a broad taste range ideal for sampling or gifting.

• Citrus Earl Grey — bergamot-forward black tea with bright citrus notes
• Mountain Oolong — lightly oxidized oolong with toasty, floral hints
• Wildflower Honey Citrus — sweet floral and mellow citrus layered over tea leaves
• Ginger Lemongrass — warming ginger balanced by fresh lemongrass zing
• Tropical Passion Flower — fruity, floral herbal blend evocative of tropical gardens

How should I brew each tea for best results?

Brewing varies by tea type to highlight each blend’s strengths: black teas need hotter water and slightly longer steeping, while oolong and herbal blends prefer gentler temperatures and shorter times. Follow the included tasting guide for exact temperatures and steep times, or use these general guidelines to start.

• Black blends (Citrus Earl Grey): 200–212°F, steep 3–4 minutes
• Oolong (Mountain Oolong): 185–205°F, steep 2–3 minutes
• Herbal/fruit blends (Tropical Passion Flower, Ginger Lemongrass): 200–212°F, steep 5–7 minutes
• Adjust steep time for strength and reuse infuser once if desired

Who is this for? Whether you’re shopping for a thoughtful hostess gift, introducing someone to premium loose-leaf-style teas, or building a travel- or office-friendly tea ritual, this Tea Forte sampler is designed for people who appreciate curated flavors and refined presentation. It suits gift-givers, tea enthusiasts seeking variety, and anyone who enjoys tasting notes inspired by botanical gardens without committing to a full tin of any single blend.
