Review: Tulsi’s mother picked this up at a hotel in Italy. No one knows how it got there. It seems you can only buy the brand in its homeland of Russia, but we are reviewing it anyway!

Tulsi knows enough Russian to be able to read the box – and what a fantastic idea for a company: a range of teas marketed for children! Of course, adults can drink these, too. But not all herbal concoctions are suitable for infants, and this one lets you know it’s fine for babies from 1 month old. They may well be breastfeeding at that age, but at least you know that when they move on to other drinks, this tea is safe for them when they need a little something to soothe them.

You might think chamomile is chamomile – but it isn’t. This smells very flowery, and the flavour is stronger than your average chamomile tea. However, it’s not as sweet and perfumey as some varieties. Instead, it tastes like you just plucked the flowers off the plant in your garden. It might be the nicest chamomile tea we have ever tried, short of using our own flowers.

Good luck buying it anywhere outside Russia! But it really is superb and totally natural tasting, which is exactly what you want if you’re giving things to your child.

Best time of year to drink this: Anytime

Best time of day to drink this: Evenings (or anytime your child gets very worked up!)
