The Icelandic Box of Herbs!
We all know Iceland is far from being botanically exotic. Few plants have the toughness to withstand an Icelandic winter (and summer mind you). But we love them even more for it!
The idea behind the box is that you can taste all the different herbs in the form of tea or spice and then read all about it in the "Flowering Plants and Ferns of Iceland" book! Every detail about the different plants is given there. Then you have the recipe book to get ideas about what to use the different spices in to make an all Icelandic tasting meal!
So get this discount box for a trip to the slopes of the Icelandic highlands through taste and aroma.

United StatesGreat box when you're missing Iceland
Absolutely thrilled with the products, packaging, and shipping to the US! It took a little less than two weeks to get to my home after ordering. I enjoyed all of these teas while in Iceland and regretted not buying one of the books in this box while I was there. I am so glad this opportunity existed so I could get both sent to my home! It is a small way to relive and share the tastes of a fabulous country!
