Very pleasant

It’s been a long time since I enjoyed Earl Grey tea this much. Most Earl Grey teas are made with black tea, and I have come to really dislike the taste of black tea in any form. For years I’ve stuck to Jasmine tea since I found green tea versions of that. Then a few weeks ago I found a half-used packet of tea in a holiday cottage. It was a green Earl Grey and it made an interesting change from my usual Jasmine.

Now that I’ve tracked down a source of this green Earl Grey I have started to drink it regularly. The bergamot flavour comes out very well in this tea .

Lovely fragranced tea

Probably one of my favourite tea nowadays. Unique taste and perfume herbal combinations, makes them suitable for any moment of the day.

This tea is absolutely amazing. I can’t wait for it to come back in stock so I can stock up black Jasmine tea is really hard to find but I’m so glad that I ordered from this company. It has a beautiful delicate but strong Jasmine flavour 10 out of 10 would recommend.

As the description of this tea says it is just like Pina Colada without the alcohol. Absolutely love this one, it will make a very nice refreshing chilled drink in the summer as well.

The hibiscus tea is delicious. A beautiful colour and very fruity. Lovely to drink hot or cold. In the summer it would be fantastic with ice.
