Meghan Markle is back in the spotlight with a new product drop from her lifestyle brand, As Ever, but the launch has triggered a wave of online criticism centered on one key detail: the price. The brand’s newly released Garden Tea Bloom Box, a limited-edition offering featuring tea, honey, and fresh flowers, has become the subject of intense debate across social platforms, with users questioning both its value and presentation.
Meghan Markle’s As Ever tea box price leaves the internet shocked
Meghan Markle’s As Ever presents the curated set as a seasonal, Easter-ready experience that blends wellness with style. The box costs $255, plus an extra $35 for shipping in the U.S. It includes herbal peppermint tea, sage honey with honeycomb, and a selection of fresh flowers like gardenias, white peonies, jasmine, mint, and camellia greens.
The brand created the product with High Camp Supply and highlights its mix of flowers and pantry items as a thoughtful set designed for both display and everyday use. According to the product details, you can arrange the long-stem flowers into bouquets, while you can place the loose blooms around your home. The brand limits the set to one per order and plans to ship it ahead of Easter.
Screenshots circulating online show users reacting with disbelief, with one post asking, “$255 for a few flowers, one tin of tea and one jar of honey?! Do I have that right?!” Another user questioned the value more bluntly: “On what planet is that box worth $255?” One viewer tweeted, “WTF is Meghan Markle thinking (if she can think) with this bunch of ugly flowers, a bottle of honey, and a box of tea selling at this ridiculous price? Is she insane?”
Beyond pricing, some reactions also focused on how the product is presented. A few users described the arrangement as underwhelming, pointing out that the flowers appear loosely placed inside a box rather than styled as a traditional bouquet. “Flowers in a box, not even an arrangement,” one post read, portraying that the visual execution didn’t match the luxury positioning. Others went further, criticizing the overall concept and branding of the product in harsher terms.
