Caffeine Factor: Caffeine-Free Organic Ingredients: Unknown Price Range: £9.95 Bags Per Box: 15Our Review: Oh no...elderberries. Any time we see that on a list of ingredients, we already know it's a no. In fact, generally speaking, we've reached a point where we're wary of anything with a name like 'superfruit infusion' because we know exactly what will be in it without looking at the label. The market is inundated with each company's take on this same blend.
We really did try to keep an open mind about this one, but it absolutely lived up to expectations. It is disgusting. It has that cheesy, footy, 'off' smell that elderberry infusions always have, wafting up unpleasantly the moment you pour the water. It looks like blood, the way all elderberry infusions do (not just in colour, but in thickness too). It doesn't matter how healthy it is for you - everything about it screams, 'I'm vile and not fit for human consumption!' On top of that, for nearly £10 for just 15 bags (!) it tastes just like every other boring fruit tea on the market, which are all heavy on the hibiscus and apple - and flavouring. If this is your thing, you're better off buying a cheaper version - preferably one without feet, er...elderberries. This one 'just shouldn't exist', we decided - not with that price tag. As expected, this is an AVOID.Best time of year to drink this: Never
