The Daily Swank – Product Review: Springcart Tea

It is important to note that when reviewing products on Vintage Indie we review the entire process from customer service, website usability, and the product itself.

Today's Daily Swank is a product review from Springcart. I had the privilege of reviewing a couple of new teas from their collection.

I have to say, packaging is my love. Weird, maybe so but you have to agree that it is the initial thing that draws your eye in when a product is sitting on a shelf. After landing at the Springcart website I was immediately greeted by the photo above. Don't you agree about the packaging?. Next the title, Lemon Dream, Chocolate Dream, who doesn't want a chocolate dream right?

Customer service was top notch, from packaging to shipping and the emails in between. This is just another example of why I love to shop independent small businesses, because the details do matter and you as a customer are important to them.

Now, on to the tea. Mine was packaged in a teabag for reviewing, but usually their tea is shipped loose leaf. I'm not a big tea buff, but I'm assuming you'll need a tea infuser, which they offer at their site. I went directly to the Chocolate Dream. One, because I'm trying to cut sugar from my diet and two because well, "C h o c o l a t e  D r e a m". I like to add a little cream and some sort of sweetener. I went artificial, but I'm used to Sweet N' Low, but use what you like. I have to say for someone who doesn't drink tea on a regular basis, I was impressed. Smooth flavor, great chocolate essence and quite nice as an evening dessert drink. I'm also excited to have found something that can curve my craving for sweets usually at 9:00 right before bed.

I also love the idea behind these tea cups they offer. If you aren't using a pretty vintage teacup you might as well use something like this. A teacup with a lid, genius. Keeps your tea warm and when you are ready to take out the bag, flip over the lid and there you have it.

Overall Springcart was a lovely experience for me the novice tea drinker and I will be back.
