Numi Organic Tea Decaffeinated Biodegradable Reviews Summary

Packaging

Pros:

• "These come packaged in an attractive pink/purple box with the identifiable Numi branding."
• "Inside the box, you get 16 individually wrapped tea bags that are sealed to maintain quality and freshness."
• "Each tea bag is individually wrapped for freshness."
• "All my boxes had safety seals, and each package came with 16 enveloped teabags."

Cons:

• "The last box I received it looked like there had been a packaging change on the wrappers for the individual tea bags."
• "The box looks like it was designed for 20 or so bags."
• "First, I ordered 100 Earl Gray tea bags which came just loose in a cardboard box."
• "Like other reviewers stated, I received a box full of loose tea bags, which means we aren't getting 6 full boxes despite spending $33+!"
• "Box came heavily damaged, like the other tea I bought, it smells absolutely wonderful and thankfully it's individually wrapped so it shouldn't cause an issue, but the condition of the box upon arrival was awful."

Flavor

Pros:

• "Absolutely delicious. I've shared it with friends and everyone that tries it goes and gets their own."
• "The only flavor that really stood out was the cinnamon."
• "This one is the perfect balance of jasmine and green tea, with a rich, full flavor that's not at all sweet, but also not over-powered by the green tea."
• "The Numi Pu-erh chocolate tea is all I hoped it would be. The chocolate flavor is there and perfectly balanced by the tea and the other ingredients."
• "It's just yummy!"
• "This tea is wonderful. The taste is as yummy as any black tea I have tried."
• "This is a nice light golden color tea with a pleasant mellow aroma and a nice herbal slightly citrus taste."

Cons:

• "The smell is weird out of package, then you brew it and it is worse, an almost rotten scent but not putrid."
• "It’s like watered down tea."
• "Numi's Rooibos Chai is not a good one. It is far too heavy on the cloves, drowning out all the other flavors."
• "It tasted nothing like chocolate, and the only thing rich about it was the price."
• "However, it does not taste the same. It doesn't have that spicy ginger taste."
• "This tea tastes just like solid clove seasoning though, instead of like a normal chai tea seasoning blend."
• "The tea tastes watered down and lacking all the flavor it used to have."

Quality

Pros:

• "I enjoy Numi brand teas because the quality of the tea, unbleached bags, organic and sustainable tea is important to me."
• "I have also purchased other teas from this company and felt the quality was good."
• "The tea is great in it's quality of ingredients."
• "I love NUMI I feel good about drinking this tea. They check all the boxes for me: Organic ✅ Ethical treatment of workers ✅ Respectful of environment ✅ No plastic in the tea bag ✅"

Cons:

• "There are only 99 tea bags which is dishonest & they are scamming every purchaser."
• "There are only 95 bags -- a 5% corner-cutting measure which I do not appreciate."
• "COUNT your bags! Ordered in 2014 and was short by 20+ bags of the 100 advertised."
• "This line wasn't any good. The 'fishy smell' is common in low quality or ill-handled pu'erh."
• "The tea I have received this year has barely any flavor."
• "They probably make a special lower quality product run just to be competitive on Amazon."
• "This box that I had was rotten - tasted fine, but smelled like fish."

Value

Pros:

• "Tastes the same as what you find in the store but at a better price when buying the pack o' 3 option."
• "The price here is better than any local store."
• "This is cheaper online than in Whole Foods which is crazy but great for me."
• "And yes, I did get a refund."

Cons:

• "It's not worth returning it."
• "However the price went from $6 a box to $10 a box. I can't justify that price increase."
• "That's $1.05 per tea bag!"
• "There’s 18 bags per box so cost is about $1.00/bag. There are better tasting Jasmine Green tea available at a much lower cost."
• "I would not have paid this price if i had known I would only get the one box."
• "This is essentially expensive spiced water."

Health Benefits

Pros:

• "I also drink this daily for the health benefits."
• "I've been suffering from back, joint and hip pain for more than a year, this was my new normal, not even shots would help me for too long. And in a week my hip pain went away."
• "The health benefits are great."
• "I buy it for the turmeric antioxidant. And it has pepper in it for better absorption."

Cons:

• "I’m still experimenting with various things to see what will help me sleep better, so I can’t really comment on whether it helps with that yet."
• "I took this tea twice and I got a headache and was really uncomfortable throughout the day."
• "BUT, what I got was a 100 packet box full of absolutely awful tea! It had a moldy, musky taste at the 1st sip and made us ill!"
