If you are familiar with English Breakfast, you'll probably enjoy this one. I tried this in a black tea assortment box. It was surprising just how different the flavour was from their English Breakfast but it's very good. In my opinion it's a...   +

This one's sweet and nutty and I love the pink colour it turns when it steeps. Forever Nuts is one of my favourite blends from DavidsTea. If you like almonds/sweetness/dessert-in-a-cup, then give this one a try.

Some rooibos blends really tickle my fancy but this one didn't quite do it. It's sweet and there is merit in it, but I don't think I'd buy it again unless it was a small amount that came with a sampler. If you like rooibos give it a try, but if...   +

I tried this one in the 24 Days of Tea Advent Calendar and I really liked it. The smell of the tea itself when dry is so good and once steeped it's even better. I liked it with some sugar and found it sweet and complex - very enjoyable.

Teatulia's black tea is an excellent everyday tea. The pyramid sachets can easily be steeped 3 or more times and the flavour is lovely. It's definitely a quality brew and I enjoy it very much.

I really enjoy this tea, but I must admit that the first time I tried it, based on the smell of it I expected this infusion to taste more sweet once steeped. A bit of sugar fixed that though, making for a very enjoyable citrus flavour.

I enjoy a lot of Twining's blends, but I think Lady Grey might be my favourite. I really enjoy Earl Grey teas, but the bit of orange flavour mixed with bergamot in this blend is lightly sweet and very delicious.

Twinings is one of my go to brands for everyday tea, and their Earl Grey is delicious. The bergamot flavour is a bit milder than some brands but it's a lovely smooth blend and very enjoyable.

For the price, this balm is actually really good. I use it regularly. It's not as heavily waxy as some, and it has a nice, slight scent and flavour. The colour is quite subtle. I would love to find another version of this with just a bit more...   +

I use Nivea Creme regularly and other products from them, so I was curious to see how this worked as well - never tried a body oil before this one, so I wasn't sure what to expect. But I really liked it! It's not nearly as greasy as I expected and...   +
