I do not drink coffee. I am a life long tea drinker.
I've been ordering from Teabox for several years-generally 2 to 3 orders a year. The tea comes vacuum sealed and until this new tariff fiasco it has arrived within about 7 business days and sometimes even faster. The tariffs have slowed down delivery.
What do I like about Teabox?
There is great variety of teas. They are fresh and well packaged with a minimum of waste. While some teas come in fancy packaging, most do not. Teabags are also available. I buy them only if I am traveling.
Teabox is a solid company with excellent tea and customer service.

In August of 2025, we traveled with NatHab to Brazil to explore the Pantanal and Iguazu. The hotel in Sao Paolo was amazing and it was an area where we felt comfortable walking.
From the moment our group of 11 met LeLe, the trip became magical . The three lodges visited were all unique in their own ways and I enjoyed each of them. Food was varied and fully acknowledging that I am a picky eater. I always found something I liked-except at Caiman where I could have eaten everything on the table and asked for more.
The Cessnas and my very own window seat was totally unexpected. I've done small planes before but the two charters somehow made a great experience magnificent..
Wildlife can't be cued and it shows up on its own time. We saw plenty of everything. We sat in silence as the sun set with only stars and sounds as distractions. There was never a feeling of being rushed or pressured to move on. The expedition assistants spoke good English and each of them was knowledgeable about the habitat. One was particularly good with birds. One was excellent at identifying something hiding in vegetation and was superior at recognizing the need for snacks!
There were a few times when I would have loved just to go off on a long walk on my own. But from previous trips to the arctic, Alaska, Canada and Africa, it isn't always possible because of the animals, snakes, birds who live where we can only visit. Seriously, who would ever suspect a a jaguar would want to explore under the deck at Caiman? Thank you so much and we are looking forward to Churchill in July.

I wanted a couple of moisture wicking, quick dry golf/tennis tops. I found Acegolfs through a web search.
I should have been a more careful consumer. I thought it odd there was no "about us" or location on the website. I placed the order on 10/26/2024. The refund came through 11/13/2024.
I did order 2 tops. I am a consistent size. The tops were huge in the shoulders and tight in the hips. They did not fit. The fabric was neither silky nor lightweight. I did not find the colors as pictured.
Thus began a string of emails to return the shirts. I contacted the company within 2 hours of delivery. The process to return was lengthly and cumbersome. The email exchange involved more than 7 emails. Photographs needed to be sent. When the return was approved I took the package to USPS and the clerk said, "Oh, these are from China-at least they are using a drop box in Portland for returns."
Nowhere on the website could I find anything about this "California design" being a shop in China.
Most manufacturing is occurring out of the US, but most places are upfront about it.
I have been contacted by Acegolfs concerning my experience. I stand by my review.

Delivery took slightly over 2 weeks. The product looks as described and photographed. I've had them two days and so they have worked for 2 days.
edited November 14. The lights are still working and I like them. I was hoping they would do more but for small solar lights they are fine and the price was good.

We used Wilderness Scotland for a private guided week on the Outer Hebrides. It was exceptionally well planned and a wonderful experience.

Our LAX-Palm Desert trip turned into a nightmare. However, when I started texting Blacklane for help, I got it. Blacklane called me and we were advised to get out of the car, get our bags, and get an Uber. (It was faster than trying to get a car to us) We were not charged by Blacklane. Once we were in the Uber, we received another call from Blacklane confirming we were safe and reconfirming the specifics of the ride. I will use them again.

I ordered a teapot with purple pansies. It is ugly and does not look like the picture. The good thing is that it does not leak. The teapot was not made in England, it is marked, "Made in China."
