Making and sipping on the same cup of tea every single day will surely get boring. Our taste buds become acclimated to the flavor over time and eventually desire new flavors. Fortunately, there is a new solution for you to keep tea from being monotonous!

Almost Tea is not an average cup of tea. This monthly subscription features tea inspired by famous pastry chefs. Instead of supplying basic tea tastes, they make it more fascinating and exciting by creating unique and delicious flavors that will make you come back for more.

What is Almost Tea?

Almost Tea has tea flavors you have never seen before! Every tea is based on a real dessert created by American bakers and pastry chefs. The best part about Almost tea is that there is no added sugar or other sweeteners, which means no calories! Each month, six entirely new blends are created from scratch.

At first, the thought of dessert-inspired tea was off putting but I am so glad that I gave it a chance. Almost Tea is a subscription service box that uses dessert-inspired recipes to question everything you think you know about tea.

Every month, Almost Tea creates the world's most insanely unique teas, inspired by a different dessert maker. Almost takes a new approach to tea production, collaborating with a different regional dessert manufacturer each month to influence their custom-developed blends and raise exposure for American small companies. 

Almost is dedicated to supporting consumers in managing their sugar craving in a method that is as engaging, satisfying, and enjoyable as eating a delicious dessert. Almost Teas have no added sugar or artificial sweeteners and are calorie-free, gluten-free, and sodium-free.

Almost: Tea that's almost like dessert!

How Almost Tea Works

Each month, Almost Tea collaborates with a new locally beloved dessert producer to transform their greatest delicacies into tea! Prior to manufacturing, each tea is approved by the original dessert producer, ensuring that all teas reflect the flavor profile of an exceptionally decadent dessert without any sugar, artificial sweeteners, or calories.

Inside the “The Sip” subscription, there are 12 tea bags in each box, with brand new flavors every month and customized with your very own caffeine preferences.

Inside the “The Slurp” subscription (the monthly box), there are 30 tea sachets, featuring 6  brand new tea flavor blends and a mini-magazine inside every box, featuring tea info and creativity prompts.

Begin your journey of bakeries in the United States by ordering a subscription box, which features a different bakery collaboration each month. Do you want to try just one tea? You can order that specific tea!

My Favorite Part Of Almost Tea 

I would have to say my favorite part of Almost Tea would be the dessert-flavored teas. I certainly should be watching my caloric intake but there are those days where I crave the craziest desserts. A great solution to that is this zero calorie drink! If you are skeptical about drinking a dessert-inspired tea, don’t knock it until you try it! 

If you enjoy drinking various types of tea and prefer your tea to be flavored, Almost Tea is a terrific place to explore different, tasty teas! If you are a purist who only drinks one sort of tea, don't like interesting tastes, or like to pick your teas, this may not be the box for you, however Almost Tea does sell individual varieties in their web shop. I enjoy that they deliver both caffeinated and non-caffeinated teas for different times of the day. 

Bottom Line

I absolutely love the steps that Almost Tea takes to create these unique teas. Overall, Almost has some really fascinating teas to explore. It almost becomes a whole experience as you try to guess the flavors based on the visuals and the notion. They do an excellent job of blending the dessert flavor with the base tea, making it seem delightful rather than just like a dessert. This is a terrific way to introduce newcomers to the world of tea or to get seasoned tea fans out of their comfort zone!

It's now somewhat more costly than testing new teas from the grocery store, at $26 per box (when prepaid for a year). These tastes, however, are not available anywhere else! Even after checking online for different dessert teas, you can only find a few, and they were either the same price or more costly.

If you drink tea on a regular basis and love trying various tastes, the Almost Tea box should be next on your list. After hearing all about what Almost Tea has to offer, do you think that you would subscribe to a monthly box?
