Review: This is a generic hibiscus tea, but mixed up with lemongrass and a very mild hint of spearmint (that’s all you can smell, when you brew it). We don’t feel this mixes well with the tartness of the hibiscus or rosehips. Lemongrass also has a tendency to taste artificial, even though it’s not, and it overpowers the other flavours here. In fact, we couldn’t discern any of the other flavours, despite that intriguing list of ingredients.

It probably does wake you up…but not much. 1% guarana seeds infused in water isn’t likely to make a huge difference to your day; and the ginseng content must be less than 1% if it comes at the very end of the ingredients list. Overall, this tea isn’t bad, but we think it promises to do more than it will – and the flavour isn’t especially interesting, either.

Review: As you may have noticed, we’re not huge liquorice fans.  It’s nice in small doses, but too much makes a drink sickly sweet.  So, we approached this blend with caution.

The smell is spicy, due to the nutmeg and cinnamon, and makes you think of winter or Christmas.  Happily, the liquorice is actually quite mild, balanced perfectly against the spices to create an ideal combination of flavours.

Drinking it makes you want to curl up by the fireplace, bundled in blankets, and just relax.  It’s so warming.  Better still, the ingredients are traditionally used for everything from healing wounds and soothing the stomach, to taking the edge off mouth pain and easing menstrual pain.  And kids like this one, too – it’s Three Tulsi’s son’s all-time favourite.

For all these reasons, we have marked this a must-have tea we keep in the cupboard at all times.

Review: This tea definitely lives up to its name.  The aroma is very tart, as you would expect – just like a crushed, ripe raspberry.  The taste does not disappoint: raspberry and hibiscus, yet only mildly tart (unlike some hibiscus teas you get), and with a mild sweetness, too.

Overall, this is a warming tea we recommend for cold autumn and winter months, either in the morning (to heat you up after you’ve come into work) or in the evening (after you’ve come home).  Drinking it makes you feel nice inside and out.

It’s also worth noting that raspberry leaf has long been used at the end of pregnancy, by women desperate to encourage labour.  It is thought that the leaf tones the muscles of your uterus – though it’s controversial, so be sure to do your own research, if this applies to you, and definitely avoid having lots of it in earlier stages of pregnancy.

Review: The smell is wintry, like Christmas.  It brings to mind caramel apples and crumble.  The gorgeous aroma is stronger than the taste, which is mainly apple.  Despite the inclusion of ‘apple flavouring’, this tea doesn’t taste overly artificial.  It’s comforting and warming, with a slightly spicy kick from the cinnamon.  We recommend having it hot, when the flavours are strong; if you leave it to cool, it can become quite watery.  It’s a nice tea to have when you’re craving something sweet but not too sweet – and, according to the box, it’s only 4 calories per cup!
