This is a great coconut tea with a good, steady black tea base. Its ingredients look a little underwhelming, especially when some mixes can contain fruit pieces, flowers, spices and flavouring – but I can promise you if you try this tea you won’t regret it.

It blends very nicely with milk and provides an interesting twist on the typical cup of tea. The aroma of this tea while brewing is delicious, and its taste is unmistakable.

This tea is lovely, toasty and evokes images and scents of a more ‘classic’ Christmas. The cloves and almonds definitely give it body. It has distinct fruity notes with the orange and apple pieces but because it’s quite strong you really don’t need to brew it for more than three minutes.

It’s quite spicy and has a hint of marzipan, making it a wonderful wintery blend.

Had this with a very good friend of mine the other day. It was a very warm tea, with vanilla and rose undertones. It had a lovely dark crimson colour and a delicious rose aroma as well. It is certainly a dessert tea, or an afternoon tea, but the overall character is very cosy and relaxed.

I had it with honey, but the tea is quite sweet enough on its own.

I liked this tea, but felt that it lacked body. I loved the vanilla and apricot undertones – maybe I should have brewed it for longer…but I felt that it was warm, inviting and comforting.

I did have this tea black with honey, and still felt that it lacked solidity and structure, but I know it’s a very popular tea and with some tweaking could be a lovely blend.

Lovely tea, lovely flavour but sometimes it has a tendency to be over-powering or easily become bitter, however its cosy caramel and cinnamon palette can definitely be recommended. I would certainly sweeten this tea with something like honey or sugar, purely because its black base can be tart.

Don’t brew this tea for too long, 3-5 minutes and you should avoid the problems of an overly-potent black base and bitter-almond aftertaste.

I adore this tea. It has a deep, bold, black tea base with a minty flick. I generally add honey, but I also fancy it black. It’s my steady, go-to tea when I can’t decide what to drink – it’s full-bodied like a winter evening, but light enough to never be bitter. It’s not particularly sweet, and that’s what I like about it, but the cornflowers make it smell wonderfully floral.

It’s very distinctive, a tea I can alway recognise, and I’ll never say no to a cup.

Supposedly this is an afternoon or dessert tea, certainly robust but I tasted this tea for the first time in the middle of the day. (I’m a tea rebel without a cause.) It was lovely, very flavourful, very sweet, a relative aroma of mango and it shouldn’t be brewed for any longer than 3 minutes.

The only criticism I can add is that there seemed to be many cast-off tiny tea leaves in the bottom of my tea. I only sipped it with a smattering of honey – it would be best not to add lashings of milk to this tea.
