The Tea Smith
Two caffeine-free loose-leaf teas or herbal blends from Omaha each month
The Tea Smith's Caffeine Free Series is a tea of the month club for people who love trying new teas and herbal infusions but want to skip the caffeine. Each month the shop picks two offerings from its rotating selection and packs each one in a 2 oz bag, which is plenty of loose leaf to brew several pots and decide whether a blend deserves a permanent spot in the cupboard. Every package includes a sheet that describes both teas and leaves room for your own tasting notes, so the club works as a slow, guided tour of herbal and caffeine-free blends rather than a random grab bag. The shop says some months also bring an occasional extra, such as a recipe, a small gift or a special blend. Orders ship from Omaha, Nebraska within two business days by USPS or FedEx with tracking, and after that the tea goes out around the 11th of each month. Shipping is included in the price. You can pay monthly or choose a 3, 6 or 12 month term paid up front, which lowers the per-box price. The prepaid terms are set up for gifting: you can send a gift message by email right away, when the first box ships, or on a date you choose. It is a good fit for evening tea drinkers, anyone cutting back on caffeine, and herbal tea fans who like keeping notes.
