The tea bags come in a cardboard box; the tea bags themselves are in a foil packet.

Making the tea is simple; boil the kettle using fresh water and simply pour over the tea bag and leave to soak. I like to leave mine to cool before drinking - I leave the tea bag in so it is very strong. I don't add anything (I.e sugar etc.) to it.

TO look at the tea isn't very attractive; it's a dark green, almost black colour and reminds me of pond water!!

I tend to drink various herbal teas, more for their health benefits more than for pleasure. I recently came across an article in a magazine about nettle tea which said what a wonderful cleanser and is very rich in iron and so is brilliant for those suffering from fatigue. As I am a vegetarian and am always tired I thought that I would give it a go.

I found the nettle tea to be a bit urgh to begin with as it does have a strange slightly bitter taste. However, it does begin to taste more pleasant after a couple of seconds. I think that the nicest bit is the aftertaste. The flavour is very fresh and quite light and so is an easy tea to drink.

After drinking it I feel more refreshed and it seems to wake me up. I feel better; more awake and have slightly more energy

I paid £1.24 for a pack of 20 tea bags, which I do think is quite expensive. Although the nettles used are organic. I bought mine from Morrissons. I think you can get this one from most supermarkets.

I would definitely recommend this tea!

Thanks for reading!
