Whittard Instant Tea Selection
If there is one thing about me that pretty much everyone
around me knows it’s that I have 'slight' obsession with tea. So it was hardly
a surprise when on my 17th Birthday I was inundated with tea inspired gifts:
lots of cute mugs to enjoy my favourite tea in, afternoon tea vouchers and this
lovely tea selection from Whittard’s courtesy of my friends :)
Whittard shops are a tea lover’s heaven, I love wandering
around my local store and perusing all the items I would love to buy if only
money were no object! So receiving this tea selection was a lovely treat for
me. My birthday was back in November but I’ve only just got round to sampling
all the teas and I thought I would share my views on the selection with fellow
tea lovers out there :)
Dreamtime Instant Tea: This one is a blend of honey, apricot and vanilla. It was very soothing and would be perfect before bed (surprise surprise)
Cranberry & Raspberry Instant Tea: I could only taste the cranberry flavour in this tea. I found the cranberry flavour on its own rather sour.
Turkish Apple Instant Tea: I personally don’t like apple flavoured drinks so this one was my least favourites. However, if you do like apple tea I’m sure you will like it better than I did!
English Fruits Instant Tea: This blend was one of favourites. Loved the fruity flavour: a combination of apple and strawberry. It also smelt amazing - I can’t get enough of it!
Blackcurrant & Elderflower Instant Tea: The blackcurrant flavour was very strong but I couldn’t taste the elderflower at all.
Last but not least my absolute favourite flavour the Damson Plum - which I will definitely be repurchasing in the larger size! This one isn't as sweet as the others so perfect for a breakfast blend :)
On the packet it states how you should use 3 teaspoons of
the powdered tea however I felt that was a bit too overpowering I found that 2
teaspoons were enough for the perfect cuppa!
The great thing about this selection is that it can be enjoyed all year round. The tea can be drunk hot for a soothing treat during the winter months and cold for a refreshing summer iced tea. Would definitely recommend this selection as a gift for tea lover’s!
