I guess you guys don't like bean tea.
I just love the surprise element and the variety of snacks.
Always a treat to discover and sample every month's new themed assortment of snacks and teas. This month's hanabi theme brought me back to my time in Japan going to a festival, sitting on a riverbank and watching the fireworks.
Every month I get to try something unusual in a good way. Some of the snacks are familiar and some are completely new to me.
Thank you to everyone who chimed in this month to let us know about their August Box experience! Doing this helps us learn how to make our future boxes even better!
