BACKGROUND INFORMATION Some time ago I decided to try a new eating plan, which my sister Helen had recommended; this involved cutting out wheat, yeast, milk and all stimulants. I was trying to sort out my lack of energy and high blood sugar. It did actually work up to a point but it became too regimented for my lifestyle as a carer. Anyway during that time I tried a few of the different herbal and fruit teas to get an idea of what I like and dislike and this is definitely on the list of ‘likes’. So this was another one that got added to the ever growing selection in the kitchen cupboard! PRODUCT The name of the product is ...  Read the complete review

This review is based on my experience of drinking Twinings' Raspberry and Echinacea tea. This tea is part of the company's Fruit Infusions range, and contains fruity taste as well as the herbal effects in the form of echinacea. The Company Twinings is a company founded in 1706. It has grown over 3 centuries to the point where it supplies over 200 different types of tea, including regular breakfast tea, brown tea, green tea, herbal teas and fruit teas.

90p for a pack of 20 tea bags in Tesco at the moment, but the price always fluctuates. Works out at £2.25 per 100gram...so it's more expensive than your usual own brand regular tea bags but its worth it.

You can drink the tea hot or wait until it cools and drink it chilled maybe in the summer. I prefer my tea hot because I think it enhances the lovely fresh ...  Read the complete review

Here I am again with yet another herbal/fruit tea review. Since my current diet (which I am very bad at sticking at, unfortunately) dictates no caffeine consumption, I have replaced my normal green tea and coffee habit with a large selection of fruit teas. Fortunately I live near to several shops, including Waitrose and Peckhams, which have a great selection of all kinds of tea, so I'm forever buying new varieties. My kitchen now has quite an attractive looking tea shelf, which features teas of many different brands and prices. The tea that I am reviewing today is the one that I tend to drink the most often and so there are now only a few left in the box, while most of ..  Read the complete review

I have been at home ill after a major operation recently and I have been told to keep my liquid intake up. I find water pretty boring and in this cold weather it is nice to have a warm drink. My lovely husband went out and bought a shopping bag fill of different fruit teas. I am going to review them here, as I have had quite a few cups of each sort. It is amazing how different they can be. Happy reading! TWININGS RASBERRY AND ECHINACEA TEA This is a really fruity tea. I have tried raspberry leaf tea, which contains a lot of raspberry fruit, rather than the more bitter leaf in order to make it paletable. This tea tastes similar, as the raspberry ...  Read the complete review
