Our Review: This is another highly planty brew, with a very sweet smell to it, due to the licorice. The flavour is what you'd call potent, tasting intensely of nettle. Three Tulsi can't bear nettle tea or too much licorice and had to put this one down. Ginger Tea thought it was okay, with the proviso that you'd only ever drink it for health reasons, not for pleasure.
We drank this one alongside T2 Soothe and couldn't help comparing the two. They're quite different, but they both aim to help you refresh and wind down. We decided that the Pukka offering is probably quite a good one if you have flu (because of the inclusion of nettle), and it's somewhat milder than the T2 blend. If you like your lemon sherbet flavour, you'll want the T2 option. If you have quite a sweet tooth, you'll want this one - although, don't think of it as an alternative for afternoon sweet cravings.
Best time of year to drink this: Autumn / winter, when you feel run down
Best time of day to drink this: Mornings, afternoons and evenings, to get you through the day when you're unwell
