I can’t exist without a good old cup of tea first thing in the morning so when I was offered the opportunity to sample some teas from The London Tea Company I said yes! I tried Decaffeinated Breakfast tea, Rooibos, nutmeg & vanilla, and Peppermint, spearmint & strawberry. The packaging is lovely and the teas are refreshing and a little bit different from your normal tea bag.

When you’re feeling sad & blue
And have no clue what to do
Sit down and have a cup of tea
And a hug or two or maybe three
Feel those troubles melt away
And start you on a better day.

sorry, the ‘o’ in my Twitter name should be the character ‘zero’ grrrrr!
Vanilla Chai sounds like an interesting and different combination (and one that my wife, the real tea buff, probably won’t have tried!
THE RED BERRIES ONE, LOOKS FAB LOL
Sorry not to be adventurous but I am almost addicted to Ear Grey tea!
I always like to try different brands…because they are all different. Come on London Tea..will you be my new favourite?? A rival of yours is currently the one I love best. On a hot day, Earl Grey is refreshing, on a cold day, can’t wait to get in for a steaming cup of Earl Grey.
A problem…Earl Grey!! Happy…Earl Grey!!
I love peppermint and spearmint, and who doesn’t love strawberries! Love the idea of this combination and it sounds like it would be perfect on a hot summer day.
Lemongrass, Ginger & Citrus fruits sounds lovely and refreshing.
The decaf tea as i’ve tried the rest of the decaf brands now I want to try the best.
I would like to try Elderflower + Apricot because it sounds summery
Strawberry and spearmint sounds lovely. I often drink peppermint tea to aid digestion but this tea sounds more refreshing with the added benefits of mint!
I love fruit teas and would love to try Blackcurrant, Raspberry & Cinnamon
Definitely the Peppermint, Spearmint and strawberry tea. I am very intrigued!
I’d like to try Camomile & Lavender, I often have a mug of camomile tea before I go to sleep as i find it very relaxing, but with lavender as well it sounds like the perfect recipe for a good nights sleep 🙂
Thanks!
These teas look just fab – the packaging would look lovely in the kitchen!!
I would really like to try Nutmeg & Vanilla – sounds like a delicious combination, really warming & comforting.
Fingers crossed, thank you!
white tea, elderflower and apricot sounds really refreshing
I would like to try the Camomile and Lavender Tea.I drink camomile tea but have never tasted Lavender tea so am curious to try this one
I’d love to try the decaffeinated breakfast tea, as I’ve never got on with decaff, but if I found a good one, would like to make this change permanantly :o)
