Advantages: Strong, pleasant aroma and low price

Disadvantages: The mango takes second place to the strawberries

I am a little surprised to find that this is only rated three out of five stars on average by my fellow reviewers. This is a huge hit with me personally and I think it is one of the nicest fruit teas I have ever had by any brand.

Usually a box of 20 teabags costs 95p in Tesco but at present they are on offer for 60p. I think it is an excellent time to try these if you are interested but have not yet done so as that is just 3p per cup at the offer price.

To make a cup of this fruit tea, simply place a teabag in a cup and pour boiling water over it then leave it to infuse for a few minutes. I use a teaspoon to squeeze the bag to speed this process up when I am in a hurry.

The taste of this fruit tea is very naturally sweet and I really like it. The strawberry is the strongest taste here and I must admit that a little more mango would be a nice contrast here. I sometimes sweeten this up with sugar though I do not feel that this tea needs it.

What is especially pleasant about this tea is the aroma. My daughter was drinking a cup of this when I walked in the door the other day and I could smell strawberries from the porch. At the Tesco offer price, this is one for new fruit tea drinkers to try if they are not sure if fruit tea is for them. Especially if you like sweet drinks and have previously been afraid that fruit tea might be bitter like herbal teas can be.

Summary: A real tea time treat.
