Premium Review McVities Classic Rich Tea: Classic, Wonderful! (241 words)

Having recently had a blip of health consciousness (lasted for all of 2 weeks- including several tesco visits) I knew that I should give up my beloved biscuits, namely plain chocolate digestives--- but i just couldn't. And then, down the aisle, I discovered McVitie's Rich Tea Lights! Now rich teas have always been my favourite biscuit. Crunchy, sweet, but not heavy. And what goes better with a cup of tea? So I immediately flipped over to the nutritional info. Each biscuit contains a mere 36 calories (as opposed to say, 80 in a digestive), no hydrogenated vegetable oil and less that 1g of fat! I was delighted. And did I mention that it was ...  Read the complete review

I have always loved McVities Rich Tea ever since I can remember! you can keep your chocolate Digestives and your burbons - this is what I rush to the cupboard for to have with my cuppa tea! **The Packaging** The biscuits are wrapped in quite a Flimsy wrapper which does leave them vulnerable when being transported from the shop to home - I have to eat the broken ones when i'm putting them in the tin at home you see so not good for the diet! Its blue, yellow and white with a picture of the actual biscuit on the front. it also states " no artificial flavours or colours and no hydrogenated vegetable oil" **The Cost & ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review McVities Classic Rich Tea: A Love A Nice Dunker! (341 words)

I am always on a mission to save a few pennies whilst still being able to treat myself to the things that I enjoy in life so when I saw a multipack of miscellaneous McVities products I just had to snap it up at the bargain price of £1.00 from a local supermarket. Amongst others there was a packet of Rich Tea biscuits within and I promptly added these to my biscuit tin. They cost around 65p at present for a 300g packet (at all the big supermarkets) and you will receive about 25 biscuits for your money. Each biscuit is 38 calories and 1.3g of fat so these aren't too bad providing you stick to two or three with your tea rather than eating half the packet which I ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review The perfect biccie! (332 words)

McVities Rich Tea biscuits have always been part of my life. I remember eating them as a youngster and I have never tired of their simplicity and flavour. They're quite pricey for 'plain' biscuits, but the premium is well rewarded in terms of taste. The price varies widely from shop-to-shop depending on current offers but 75p for a packet of 30(ish) sounds pretty good. How to describe them? They are very light, dry and crisp biscuits. This crunch is actually particularly useful in helping to work out how long the packet has been open - the crisper, the fresher! They have a VERY mild tea flavour, are slightly sweet and chew to a cream-like, almost buttery feel. ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review McVities Classic Rich Tea: Everybody Was Rich Tea Dunking! (397 words)
by - written on 11/03/09 (Very useful, 66 readings)

McVities Classic Rich Tea biscuits are so far down my list of favourite biscuits that I rarely eat them. I would much rather a biscuit covered in chocolate or one with jam or cream in. Once in a blue moon will I get a craving for a plain biscuit but when I do, the Rich Tea is king. Its also worth noting that I am writing this review during Lent. Every year I give something up. This year it is chocolate. So, all of my favourite chocolate biscuits have gone out the window. My Rich Tea intake has increased as a result though. The biscuits themselves have a rather dry texture, are light brown in colour and are about 2.5" in diameter. Possibly the furthest you ...  Read the complete review
