I'm not much of a coffee or straight tea fan, but I do like something hot to drink in the morning, before bed and, well, at most hours of the day when I'm working! I'm a great believer in the health benefits, as well as the general well-being benefits, of herbal tea, so was intrigued when I saw a box of Dr Stuart Detox Tea in Holland & Barrett. As I've got finals coming up and I'm generally stressed and eating a bit badly at the moment, I like the idea of detoxing at least a bit and trying to improve my skin - so I bought them and got ready to give them a try. The fact that the ingredients sounded absolutely delicious was the clincher for me. If he's going ...  Read the complete review

A couple of years ago, my wife and I decided we needed to explore some herbally healthy hot drinks - we felt we were automatically reaching for coffee or tea every time we wanted a drink, or were bored, or got a bit cold.

Dr Stuart's - Extraordinarily good teas - or are they... For those of you who have read a few of my reviews, you'll realise that i'm the sort of person who seeks out food and drink which is said to be good for the body. Usually this is to done so I can feel better about myself after a week of eating junk food and general overindulgence. Unfortunately, quite a few of the food and drink products which are marketed as being beneficial to the body and mind can taste quite nasty. Therefore, when seeing 'Dr Stuart's Detox Tea' in my local 'Holland and Barratt', I decided to give it a go and hope for the best. The box is beautifully designed ...  Read the complete review
