Since about last week Tuesday I seemed to have been plagued with illness. I had an ongoing headache which no amount of nurofen seemed able to cure (which has always been my life saviour in the past!) so I upgraded to Parecetemol and Codeine from Boots. Nevertheless the next day the headache was gone and I awoke with this crusty, croaky voice since about saturday! I went to the drs today (which was pointless anyway) who said I had some inflammation on my throat which seems to be affecting my voice box and blood spots which indicates a virus....great! Her only recommendation was drink lots of fluids and parecetemol (I hate when people recommend this as it does nothing for .  Read the complete review

A couple of years ago now I gave up drinking caffinated drinks for a new years resolution. I really thought I would miss hot tea and coffee, but it turned out it was more the habit I missed than the taste itself. Luckily the habit was soon replaced with fruit tea, which replaced my cravings for having a hot drink. I have since tried many many different fruit teas, from named brands (like Twinings and Tetley) and from supermarket own brands (like Asda, Sainsburys and Tesco). I have also tried many flavours, and found some I am not so keen on (like green tea) and others I like much more (like red berry teas). When I first tried Twinings pure Cahmolmile I wasn't ...  Read the complete review

Being on a permanent diet and always on the look out for anything to help, I was pretty surprised when I read that herbal teas can be a great way to fill you up. Being caffeine free, obviously fat free as you don't add milk, and free from any added sugars, they are very healthy.

My sister has drunk herbal teas for years and so I raided our kitchen cupboard and found some own brand camomile tea. It smelled fairly nice so I presumed it would taste as nice. Oh boy was I wrong, it was so completely ...  Read the complete review

Camomile, Honey & Vanilla is definitely my favourite Twinings tea and I need at least one cup of my feel-good tea to relax after a hard day at work. When you buy Twinings you always know that you buy quality ingredients, quality processing and a great taste. -------------- Look & Taste The smell when you open the box is incredibly nice - you can easily smell the camomile which is a smell that just reminds you of happy childhood days. When you add hot water you can also smell the light honey and vanilla flavour but the camomile is definitely the strongest of the ingredients. The taste is just amazing, so wonderful ...  Read the complete review

After a recent visit to the Dr, where some concern was raised about elevated blood pressure. Realistically I've always had a phobia of Dr's so the belief is that I suffer from white coat syndrome which naturally causes the blood pressure to rise, but even still, prevention is better than cure so I decided to take action with regards to my diet and recently have cut down my caffeine intake, substituting my morning cup of coffee with a variety of herbal teas from the Twinings range, as well as taking a daily multi vitamin and generally trying to live as stress free a life as possible - easier said than done. ==Who are Twinings?== I'm sure everyone will ...  Read the complete review
