I like black teas the most that's why I was surprised when I realized I have not tried English breakfast tea before. So, I got this: English breakfast tea is a blend of black teas. As the name suggests, it is a breakfast beverage and is thus, caffeinated. It is usually described as full-bodied and its flavor pairs well with either savory or sweet food. The flavor is indeed strong and I love it. It actually tastes like a stronger version of Lipton Yellow Label tea. It made me wish I had a plate full of sausages, eggs, bacon, tomatoes and mushrooms while enjoying my cup.

A coworker, knowing my enthusiasm towards tea, gave me this: English Tea Shop Super Berries is an infusion of hibiscus, rooibos, spearmint, raspberries, strawberries and blueberries. Just like with any other ETS tea, all of the ingredients are organically grown and processed. This infusion smells a lot like cranberry juice. Tastes like it too, sweet and tart. It's basically like drinking warm cranberry juice.
Again, English Tea Shop did not disappoint. This herbal tea is so yummy. Though a bit too sweet for my liking, I am definitely going to have this again. - Krissie With all the parties I've been to these past few days, I feel like there is a discrepancy between my food ingestion and egestion -- I'm sure you know what I mean. So, I decided to try this: According to the packaging, Biofitea is made of senna leaves and pods. Taken as tea, senna acts as a mild laxative. However, Biofitea is promoted as a slimming tea. It claims it can flush away toxins and excess fat and regular use will result to a slimmer, thinner figure. For best results, it is best to drink this tea before bedtime. I did just that and it delivered! It did make my tummy feel light and flat. Furthermore, I did not feel any pain or discomfort and it only took a couple of trips to the bathroom for the laxative effect to wear off.
Though it is effective, long-term use of senna is unadvisable. I got curious about this tea and found a legit reason to try it but I am not likely to use this regularly. Have you tried slimming teas before? I hope you can share your experiences in the comments below. - Krissie Merry Christmas everyone! Let's talk about a Christmas tea on Christmas day, shall we? This one's a Christmas gift from my boyfriend: Rooibos tea is an herbal infusion made from the leaves of the rooibos plant, a South African bush. It is brewed in the same manner as black tea, oftentimes, with the addition of sugar and cream. Organic Rooibos GingerBread Man Christmas Tea is a blend of rooibos, cinnamon, ginger, pineapples, etc. all sourced in an organic manner. Taste test time. This tea has a sweet and spicy aroma. Furthermore, its most dominant flavor is cinnamon making this tea taste a lot like chai. The good thing about rooibos is that it is naturally caffeine free, so it could be enjoyed even before bedtime. This tea has a somewhat silky, rich quality to it that makes it quite heavy to the palate. I'm not sure if I like this tea. It isn't bad, that's for sure, but I don't think I would drink this every night. Still, its texture and flavor are intriguing enough to warrant a few more cups.
- Krissie Earl Grey is one of my favorite tea blends. It is black tea flavored with oil of bergamot -- a citrus fruit. It is one of the most common tea used for afternoon teas and cream teas. It is good on it's own as well as with some milk or creamer. Usually, it is Twinings for me but having a very nice first impression on English Tea Shop, I decided to get their Earl Grey this time. The most notable thing about this tea is its smell. The smell reminds me of wintermelon milk tea. It is so fragrant and I guess it is one of the qualities of English Tea Shop teas. It is also naturally sweeter than Twinings Earl Grey.
English Tea Shop Fairtrade and Organic Earl Grey will be another favorite of mine and I am excited to try their other blends. - Krissie |
