"Nice for a change"

I have the "Raspberry Leaf" and "Night Time" varieties of these teas.
Both are caffeine free and easy to prepare and include directions on the pack to ensure you make the most of them. The tea bags themselve have little strings attached so you do not have to fish them out with a spoon.

The Raspberry leaf I found to be pleasent tasting and easy to drink. I do not tend to drink fruit teas so cannot really compare it to others but I did find I had to keep swirling the cup arround to stop the flavour seatling to the bottom of the cup. Also please be aware that raspberry leaf products should be avoided in early pregnancy.

The Night Time tea, flavoued with Camomile and herbs, is a very nice cuppa in my oppinion. Have tried camomile teas before but was not too keen on them. This one I found to be nice tasting and easy to drink.

Both are nice teas but I need my caffeine in the morning to get me going.

"Wasn't looking forward to it but pleasantly surprised!"

I'm not a herbal/fruit tea drinker and usually draw the line at anything past Earl Gray but I was pleasantly surprised by the Green Tea and Lemon Grass variety. It was refreshing and had a lovely after taste.
The other variety I had was Organic Echinacea and I have to admit this one wasn't very pleasant to drink. It had a savoury taste and a strange herby smell. My mum takes Echinacea tablets everyday to ward off colds so I asked her to try them to see if it's an acquired taste but they didn't prove too popular with her either.
I will be finishing off the box of Green Tea and Lemon-grass but I'm afraid I won't be having any more of the Organic Echinacea.

If you like herbal/fruit teas then do give them a try as they appear to be quality products.

"Fruity is best!"

Having developed quite an addiction to raspberry leaf tea towards the end of my last pregnancy i was looking forward to trying some different varieties.

I received a box of pomegranate tea, and one of chamomile and spearmint. First i tried the chamomile and spearmint. It came up quite a strange shade of green whilst the bag was steeping, but settled into a pale brown when i took the bag out after 5 minutes. After leaving it to cool slightly i took my first sip. I was slightly disappointed if i'm honest. The aroma from the cup was delicious, minty and fresh smelling. The tea just didn't taste as it smelt. It wasn't unpleasant, it just wasn't what i expected! It was more woody than i thought it would be, and i couldn't taste an awful lot of mint. In short, it was ok, but not world igniting.

I was a bit more dubious about the pomegranate one. It smelt gorgeous, really fruity. But after the disappointment of the other one i wasn't going to assume it would taste the same. So i was pleasantly surprised to find that it tasted just how it smelt! It was lovely, really fruity and thirst-quenching. Absolutely delicious! I will definitely be buying this one again :)

"Lovely Cuppa!"

We often drink chinese tea at home plus I know these are better for you than the standard tea and coffee! I was given 2 flavours to try, Raspberry and Green Tea with Lemongrass.

Raspberry Tea
I loved the lovely smell and rich, dark colour, but didn't really like the taste as it was too sour. I've tried raspberry tea before and its never been as sour tasting as this one therefore made drinking this tea a struggle. Not one I would recommend.

Green Tea and Lemongrass
I love this tea! It is similar to the chinese tea we drink at home but this one had a subtle taste of lemongrass with a lovely faint smell too which was very refreshing! I left the tea to brew for the full 5 minutes but it was too strong for me, second time round I only coloured the hot water and this was best suited to my taste buds. I can highly recommend the Green Tea and Lemongrass herbal tea!

These teas are very easy to use and make, just add a bag to a mug and fill with boiled water, simple! The packaging is nice and simple with clear instructions and details about the tea too.

"Good decaf alternative"

I am a tea lover, but am limited to the amount I can drink at the moment since I am breast feeding, so I was quite pleased when I found out I would be getting Heath and Heather fruit teas to test.
The Wild Blackcurrant flavour is refreshing and tasty and I particularly enjoy it in the morning. It is simple to make, but necessary I find to leave the tea bag in for the full 5 minutes to get a nice strong taste, or it is just mildly flavoured warm water.
I have never been a fan of green tea, and as much as I try to force myself to drink it for the health benefits, I can never get over the fact that it tastes a little like mud. However, having tried the Heath and Heather Green Tea with Jasmine I am finding it much more bearable, I am still never going to be a huge fan. but the jasmine does make it more palatable.
I would definitely recommend these teas as a healthy and caffeine free alternative to tea or coffee.
