I gave up drinking caffinated tea and coffee a couple of years ago, for a new years resolution as I was at a loss as to what else to give up and I wanted to do something. I thought it would be difficult but I soon realised I didnt even like the taste it was the habit of having a hot drink which I was missing. I soon filled this hole with fruit and herbal teas. and haven't looked back since. In this time I have tried many many different flavours, from a wide variety of brands, and also supermarket own. Each time I go shopping I am on the look out to try something new and different. I spooted this moment of calm, orange, mango and cinnamon and I picked it up ...  Read the complete review

Twinings, a moment of calm. Maybe, or maybe not! *Background information* Having started yet another diet, I was keen to find a warming drink that did not need to have milk added. The reason for this being, having recently being diagnosed lactose intolerant, I need to use soya milk. Soya milk is marginally lower in calories but higher in fat than my usual skimmed milk. Following a Weight Watchers this only works out at half a point per pint, but I try to do without where I can. *Twinings* This is where Twinings enters. I usually drink this more in the summer, as I find it refreshing, either hot (just add hot water and ...  Read the complete review

Twinings have been selling teas for over 300 years so I feel they should know what they are doing. They have over 200 blends so there should be something for everyone and if not they sell coffees too! I liked Blackcurrant infusion, this must date back to when I loved Ribena! but wasn't too keen on other flavours until I tried some at a Spa when we stayed for a pampering treat. I started trying other flavours and bought a mixed box but found I preferred some to others which led me to buying a delightful Orange, mango and cinnamon. This was a fantastic warming drink and when several months ago I went to buy another box I couldn't find them - they ...  Read the complete review

Now if you've read any of my other 'speciality tea' reviews, then you'll realise that i'm generally not a fan. However, when walking through Somerfield last week, I noticed Twinings - 'A Moment of Calm Orange, Mango & Cinnamon' fruit tea, and decided to give it a go. The teabags themselves are caffeine free, and the ingredients are all natural. I was surprised when I poured the boiling water onto the teabag, as the resultant colour was bright purple. I couldn't understand how a tea featuring orange, mango and cinnamon could produce such a vivid dark hue. Fair enough, the product does contain Blackberry leaves - but surely these are ...  Read the complete review
