Our Review: Some of you are probably thinking, 'Artichoke tea???' We thought the same, and that's why we just had to buy this and try it.

The main reason you would drink this is for the health benefits. Boiling artichoke leaves means infusing the water with some of the zinc, iron, calcium, magnesium and A, B and C vitamins natural to the plant. It's also a good antioxidant. All of this put together could help with immunity, digestion, anxiety, stress and cholesterol problems, and it's great for the skin. Maybe you want all of that but you're not fond of eating cooked artichokes, in which case this simple tea is for you.

On the other hand...maybe you're not fond of eating cooked artichokes, in which case...this won't be the tea for you! Because it really does taste of artichoke (of course) - that, and (weirdly) unsweetened digestive biscuits. It also has that biscuity smell, though we're not sure why.

This won't be for everyone, that's for sure, but some of you will definitely be interested in it for the health benefits mentioned above - or maybe you just love artichokes! Whether this is your cup of tea or not, be careful not to overbrew it or it can be very bitter and stringent - not awful, but it carries a strong aftertaste.

Best time of year to drink this: Any time

Best time of day to drink this: Lunch or dinner, as it really does taste of the vegetable
