There is a really inviting, spicy, fruity aroma here, and the initial hit on the palate continues that profile. As it develops, you get more of the passionflower, and the result is a drink that is soothing from the spiced apple and vanilla but has a welcome and bright astringency.
A delicate combination of flavours, you can taste the vanilla and apple, and the character has an overall fruity sweetness.
This is fresh, bright and invigorating but also comforting. It has that cool finish that you want from peppermint but also the slight astringency of nettle and green tea and a bit of warmth from the spicing. It is rounded, complex and well-balanced and a very good drink (also probably good cold).
The orange and turmeric complement each other in the bright colour and in the spicy but also citrussy aroma. For those taking turmeric for health reasons, this would be a very pleasant way to get your daily hit.
This is a citrussy and spicy blend, which offers plenty of upfront orange flavour alongside some peppery, earthy flavours from the turmeric. The blend is warming and fruity with an enjoyable level of spice.
There is a nice combination of citrus orange and slightly bitter turmeric, which work in harmony together.
Rounded mouth-feel, full-bodied and well-balanced. The appearance is good, nice and bright and works well with milk. Some fresh character and good flavour. A classic black tea blend.
A coloury and thick liquoring tea with good flavour, body and briskness, a good blend of teas.
The tea has a bright liquor and coloury infusion, it has a good balance of briskness and flavour, reflecting the origins used in the blend.
Thick, full-bodied and strong. A great English Breakfast blend, lovely and fresh, brisk and lively. Has a hard 'graphite' character, which is usually associated with a well-made, fresh and carefully handled tea. A great example of a classic!
Very bright, attractive appearance. Fresh, uplifting with a refreshing citrus character. A really fresh, good-quality Earl Grey blend- the decaffeinated taint one usually finds on tea blends wasn't apparent, and the quality is great!
This tea has a coloury infusion, it is thick liquoring with plenty of body, a good strong cup of tea and holds up well considering it has been through a decaffeinating process.
Great colour, very red and bright. Takes milk particularly well.
This is a gentle but well-balanced infusion that offers a bright and clean taste. An enjoyable herbal tea which delivers an interesting experience.
With sweet meadow notes and a gentle straw character, this pleasant-tasting infusion reflects the quality of the camomile.
As is sometimes the case with herbal teas, simple can be best, and so it is with this tea. Plain peppermint, with no other ingredients- the tea is well prepared, not milled too finely, and looks bright and green when it is infused. The flavour is fresh and clearly defined- peppermint from start to the cool finish.
A fresh tasting, crisp, clean and minty infusion. Menthol notes list off the aroma, a nice quality infusion.

Honey and vanilla are a great complement to camomile- they provide some real taste and light sweetness to complement the soft, soothing floral notes of the camomile. This is a gentle night-time tea which should send you off to sweet dreams.
This is a beautifully sweet and aromatic infusion with pleasing sugary, floral notes on the nose. On te palate, it's smooth and well-balanced, offering enjoyable sweetness and a background softness from the camomile. This is a well-judged and very enjoyable infusion.
There are gentle notes of honey and vanilla working through the flavour, it is balanced and has a lasting taste.
The ginger and lemon are well-balanced, although the lemon flavour comes through more strongly on the nose. The ginger retains its heat well, right through to a gentle finish. It may be one of the most popular herbal tea blends, but this one is also a successful one.
A fresh-tasting combination, there are lively citrus notes from the lemongrass and a warm ginger character with some gentle heat at the finish, a well-blended infusion.
