We welcome your thoughts and encourage your feedback.
"About a month ago my local health food store began selling your
teas and I have been happily buying a different box each week.
I wanted to simply say thank you for your outstanding products!
As a tea-drinker for nearly forty years, I have never encountered
teas that are as well made as yours.
(I am sipping the Earl Grey as I write!).
And it is not only your incredibly delicious teas that I enjoy -
your packaging is pleasing also - from the colors to the artwork,
everything about your teas is a sensory experience. Sight, taste,
smell (even sound as I clink my spoon against the cup) are all
brought together beautifully. I have told my health food store
owner that she must never run out of your teas!"
- Debbie F., Merritt Island, FL
"Dear Numi Friends, I am a recent convert to your teas. I've been
a tea aficionado for years and it's been a while since I've found
new teas that I like as much as yours. Your packaging is also
terrific. I live in Houston, TX, and have only found your
Assorted Mélange
box at World Market, where the boxes have flown out of the stores.
I'd like to give several as gifts... and need to know how to find more!"
- Elline L., TX
"I was recently given a box of your tea blends. So far I've had
the pleasure of enjoying your
Golden Chai,
Dry Desert Lime, the
Water Sprite Ginger Oolong and the
Chamomile Lemon Myrtle.
I enjoyed them all, particularly the Dry Desert Lime, which was really
outstanding. I think it will be a lovely iced staple this summer and
look forward to recommending it to my friends. I used Numi teas for
a teacher's breakfast and tea during Teacher Appreciation Week and
the staff of my daughter's elementary school was delighted with
the variety and flavor. They all asked that we serve "that new tea"
again next year! The lovely artwork did not go unnoticed either."
- Rain B
"I enjoy your
Red Mellow Bush tea once a day.
It is a delicious, full flavored and full-bodied cup of tea,
uplifting to my body and mind without the unpleasant side effects of
caffeine. Thanks for bringing this unusual but pleasant taste
sensation to the US."
- Barbara S.
"I've been a closet teasan
drinker for years but have been largely turned off by the "standard"
ingredients that get thrown into most herbals thereby making them
all taste or look more alike, excepting peppermint or chamomile.
But last weekend my life changed. I was in a local "Cost Plus"
store and I purchased your assortment box... wow! I especially
like the
Honeybush
and the fact that your "teasans" taste and
look more like real tea than most traditional "herbal teas"
(if I may use that title!) If you would ever like specific product
feedback-- or are looking for a taster panel-- please feel free to
contact me. I'm very grateful to your company/founder for identifying
a neglected segment in the market."
- Michael M., CA
"There is a sensation brewing at my daughter's school...
Roberta told Deborah, Deborah told me and I gave a box to a friend.
We are all in love with your teas! We would love to continue getting
the word out about your great teas..."
- Kathryn R., Berkeley, CA
"[Some friends] came by last night and I made a pot of coffee and
offered tea. Well, most everyone was going to have coffee until
I took out the Numi tea set
[bamboo box].
Everyone was so excited about the tea. We were reading, comparing,
sniffing - you name it, it caused quite an interest. So in the end
everyone had tea and loved it! The presentation was so beautiful,
a big hit! With everyone enjoying the tea so much I want to make
sure I have enough to replenish the box. I think it is one of
the most interesting and useful gifts I have ever received."
- Angela
"Just a note to let you know that I LOVE this
Teasan.
It is refreshingly different and unexpectedly delightful! The flavor and
the good feeling lingers long after the last drop is gone.
Thank you. Another Satisfied Customer,"
- Sarah G.
"I have recently had the pleasure of tasting the line of Numi teas and
I must say that I am quite impressed with the full-bodied teas and
the varieties. I love teas and have tried many and I have never
experienced any thing like the Numi teas. I look forward to
purchasing some of your products in the near future."
"I am a faithful NUMI junkie!! I originally tripped over you
when you were very young and only selling to a very select few
wholesale specialty folks. Since I have found you at my local
COST PLUS WORLD MARKET and at a not-so-close-to-me WILLIAM GLEN.
CONGRATULATIONS on all of your success, and thank you for such
a fine product. I hope that as you grow, your quality will not
fade, it is what keeps me coming back for more and turning all
of my friends onto the teas. Best wishes,"
- Jodi C.
"I just had your lime tea yesterday & the jasmine today.
I have never seen your product before & tried it on a whim.
The lime was especially delicious - very satisfying to my palette.
I am 11 weeks pregnant & not everything that once was good tastes
good now - but that lime was divine! Thank you. The jasmine
this a.m. was also dreamy & delicious. I will definitely try
to find your tea in a store!"
- Kyra D.
"Over the last year, I have bought hundreds of boxes of
Red Mellow Bush...
I've also stocked up on
Dry Desert Lime and
Monkey King and
Chinese Yunnan,
everything that my store sells. My favorite is the Rooibos, and I tell everyone
I know about Numi teas. Here is my situation: My stores don't carry
Mexican Lemongrass, and
Gunpowder.
I've told [them] to expand their selection, but I think it's falling
on deaf ears there. Please know that I'm a huge Numi fan and I will
continue to buy your product as long as I keep seeing it on the shelves."
- Allan M., CA
"Your Jasmine Green Tea
is the BEST green tea I have ever tasted!
I hope your company is successful and this product remains available
forever!"
- Beth Ann S.
"My friend who lives near you was visiting Philadelphia last week and
was kind enough to bring me a box of your tea. I enjoyed each flavor,
and was fascinated by your packaging! I am going to the co-op which
is near my house and tell them about your tea, because I think they
would be happy to sell it there. There are a couple of other health
food stores nearby that I think should start distributing this tea.
I found the Rooibos and
Honeybush
teasans especially interesting...
You are doing a beautiful job, and I wish you the best. I never
write letters to companies, but this was extraordinary."
- Molly M., PA
"My husband and I are absolutely crazy about your tea. I bought
two packages
(Dry Desert Lime and
Chinese Breakfast)
at a local store called Winners, but I've never seen the tea there again.
My husband is completely distraught and hopes you can tell us a place
in Toronto where we can purchase it again. As he says, "It's the best
tea I've ever had." I thank you in advance for your assistance."
- Rachel L., Fond Tea Drinker
"My roommate went out of town on a business trip and the hotel
that she stayed in offered Numi Tea. She brought some packages
back for me to drink since during the winter months I am an
avid Herbal tea drinker. My absolute favorite was
Simply Mint
because it reminded me of the after dinner tea that is served at
one of my favorite Moroccan restaurants."
- Shannon T.
"Just wanted you to know how excited I was when a friend shared a
packet of Numi tea with me. I stuck the packet in my purse and
forgot about it being there for several days. One evening I
remembered it was still there and I needed something warm and
soothing so I pulled it out and brewed my cup of
Bushman's Brew...
and from that point on I have been on a search of the Seattle area
for your product! I am 63 years old... and I don't get that carried
away by too much anymore. But, I actually went into my garbage
bag and sorted through things until I found the little discarded
empty Numi tea packet... and I was SO THANKFUL that it had your
company address on the back. One quick call to information and
I was talking with your office in Oakland this morning. Now I know
where I can go out and buy Numi tea... I just wanted you to know
that there was something SO SPECIAL about that cup of tea that I
just could NOT dismiss it. I really wanted to have my own box.
I don't know what you do to the tea or how you do it but when it
is brewed, you know you are holding something very very special
in your hands and it is impossible to forget it. I am so glad I
found my little discarded packet with your address. Keep up the
fine products. Blessings..."
- Linda F., Lynwood, WA
"My girlfriend introduced me to [Numi Red Mellow] tea.
I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in June and she suggested
I try this organic tea because it has a lot of antioxidants which
will be good for me. I love it and drink three cups a day. Thank you..."
- Mrs. F.
"Hello, I just wanted to tell you that I got your
Assorted Mélange, the Collection.
This is the best tea I have ever had -- and I am a full-time tea
drinker now, trying many different makers/selections. Well,
now I'm through looking -- pretty much! I mean it --
this is the best. I am drinking
Monkey King Jasmine Tea
(great name) with a little honey and milk -- delicious!!!!!! :)
What a great flavor. Thank you very much for this!"
- Charlie K., MA
"I ordered 3 of your teas last week through Cook's Nook
(lemongrass,
lime,
Chinese Breakfast - Yunnan).
Your teas are the best. Bar none. No contest. The minute I opened
the lemongrass pouch I knew I had found the real thing. Our local
grocery store chain stocks some decent teas, and even some lesser-known
ones, but I was on a search for "good" tea and I'm so glad I found
yours. Your teas will be on my essential list from now on."
- Alice L., Buffalo, NY
"We wanted you to know how much we enjoyed the fresh (very fresh)
Rooibos Teasan. Rooibos is an old favorite with us, but we have
never had it so fresh as no one packages it as well as you do and
those wonderful flavors and aromas are usually gone before they
reach the store shelf. We hope to see it back soon."
- Richard & Kathie S.
"I have been a fan of your product for a year and a half now.
I discovered your teas at Cost Plus Imports here in LA and also
at Bristol Farms. I have stocked up on all the flavors these
stores carry, mostly
Red Mellow Bush,
Dry Dessert Lime,
Monkey King,
Bushmen's Brew and
Chinese Yunnan.
I've been an avid coffee drinker my whole life, but now my cupboards
look like a shrine to Numi tea. I also bought your new flavors,
Ginger Oolong,
Aged Earl Gray and
Golden Chai Teas...
I especially love the Ginger Oolong."
- Allan G., Los Angeles, CA
"I used to drink three to four pints of black tea a day.
When I realized the caffeine and the tannin was the cause
of my stomach distress, I gave it up. I searched high and
low for a desirable substitute, until I found Rooibos.
Numi Rooibos gives me all the pleasure of a good cup of
black tea-true tea flavor without added sweetness - without
any of the problems. I love it."
- Jeanie L.
"I grew up in an age when Celestial Seasonings and Lipton
were the only teas around. So needless to say, I am thrilled
with all the wonderful teas available nowadays, and believe me,
I have tried more than I care to admit. Although I have always
been more of a coffee drinker than a tea drinker, the delightful
complexity and flavor of your teas have made it easier for me
to wean myself off of coffee - a feat I have been unable to
perform for long periods of time. Thanks again for a great product."
- Alexandra
"Just wanted to let you know that I recently purchased your teas
in Westport, Connecticut, and I love them!! I bought the sampler
packet and then went out immediately and bought the
Jasmine Green Tea and
the Lemongrass!!
They are really excellent. I usually drink [another tea company's]
teas, but they now have some heavy-duty competition!!
Thanks for the great product!!!"
- Tammy C., Weston, CT
"I came across your tea while taking a weekend retreat to North Bay.
I was delighted to discover your product, and of course am now
addicted and hoping to find it somewhere closer to home. I have felt
for too long that tea drinkers have been discriminated against
by all the companies catering to those coffee lovers.
Thanks for providing a welcome change from the regular old thing!"
- Lisa, Toronto Canada
"Ever since I was a little girl I always loved water.
When I visited friends, their parents thought I was
neglected because I just wanted water. They would say,
'It's O.K. sweetie, you can have a soda here', but I would say,
'No, I really like water'. So, when I read the box containing
your lovely teas, stating that they enhance water's unique
potential, I suspected that I may have encountered a water
brother/sister. It was not until I TASTED the tea that my
assessment was confirmed. I am very grateful for your sharing of
these delicious herbs and teas. Drinking them easily becomes
a meditative experience. I especially like the
Bushman's Teasan.
It reminds me of a delicate hibiscus, removed of its harshness.
It has a hollowness to it that carries out the length of
the lightness. I look forward to trying the rest of your teas."
- Dawn L.
"I just wanted to thank you for
Monkey King Jasmine Green Tea.
It's so magical that I have to slow down, make tea respectfully,
drink it slowly. Meditate. Liquid enlightenment. The water is
pleased to be the tea. Like I said. It's magic.
Thank you for making it and sharing it."
- Hap M.
"I came to your site thinking it a long shot that you'd have recipes.
What a great surprise to find so many good ones. The Lentil Lime Soup
is wonderful!! Also the Green beans. Thanks so much for listing
recipes and please keep them coming!! I'm experimenting with ways
to use dried lime teasan with chicken. I'll let you know when it
reaches the sublime stage."
- Jani S.
"Thank you for your excellent teas! I adore your red Rooibos and
the green African bush (sweet healing fields) and will be trying
the honeybush on its own too! Good Rooibos teas are rather hard to
find here, especially in regards to quality, and I'm very very
happy with yours! I used to drink 3 cups of black tea a day,
which was adversely affecting my health, I've tried many many
different herbal teasans to wean me off of the overuse of tea,
to no avail until I found yours! Great taste & quality -
thank you so much! Thanks to you, I'm down to an occasional
cup of black tea, and up to 6 cups of red Rooibos or green
Rooibos a day! I thank you, my family thanks you and my body
thanks you! Have a splendid winter season."
- Rachel
"I just wanted to let you know that I HATE mint tea... that
was until I tried your mint tea. It is EXCEPTIONAL.
I loved it so much that I brewed a whole pot of the tea
the other day and finished the WHOLE POT by myself.
Incredible, now I'm hooked and have placed an order online for
several packages."
- Andrea C.
"I am only sixteen, and when I first tasted Numi Teas,
I fell in love with them. I drink about 6 cups a day and
I never get tired of it. I am so glad that someone finally
goes around the world to get the freshest and most prized
teas and spices. Thank you Numi!"
- Ben Z.
"I chose the
Mate Lemon Myrtle
for my maiden voyage... ooooohhhh, it's so delicious.
I love cradling the mug close to my heart center and
basking in the glorious steam. Can't wait to try the
white tea variety with Orange Spice next. I am so grateful to you.
- Annemarie B.
"Greetings friends (if I may be so bold), I just sat down to
a hot cup of your
Dry Desert Lime Tea...
what an absolute delight, what a heavenly experience! I took
one sip and felt transported to another time and place,
laughing and dancing all along the way. Thank you for putting
the thoughtfulness, care and smiles into such a small little
package. What a wonderful concept - you created magic with
these teas... with just a little fresh water and a bag of your
tea, we're off to untold destinations. Congratulations to you
both for actualizing your dreams and thank you for sharing them
with us. With gratitude..."
- Mona C., St. Paul, MN
"You make the BEST teas! My favorite is the
Lapsang Souchong!
It makes my soul sing!"
- Jennifer L.
