Tea

Have you seen the new teas from PG? Did you take the quiz to see if you’re ‘Mellow’, ‘Rich’, ‘Fresh’ or ‘Strong’? I did and apparently I’m RICH! Er…. hello, have you seen my bank account, not yours, Monkey?! LOL!!

Well, a little while passed after I took the quiz and I came home to find this ‘tea chest’ in my hallway, waiting my arrival.

Now, if you’re like me, you get straight in there, none of this delicately unwrapping the goodness that’s contained inside; No siree, I just jump straight in! Not very ‘Mellow’, nor in the sophisticated realms of being ‘Rich’, but I found myself more of the ‘Strong’ type as I ripped the tape off and opened up the box to see the contents with a pair of ‘Fresh’ and excited eyes.

And greeting me was this lot of goodies: A silky, smooth and decadent dressing gown in which to relax after using my Molten Brown shower gel, whilst my feet slip into my Marks & Spencer Per Una slippers as I sip my PG Tips ‘Rich’ tea from my delicate Royal Albert cup and saucer whilst waiting for my sparkly Essie nail polish to dry on my finger nails.

Not content to allow me to drink my tea in peace, this little cheeky chimp, Monkey, decided to have fun with the boxes of tea, initially being very well behaved and sitting nicely to have his photo taken.

He rapidly decided that that was too much effort and was soon found laying down on the job.

Before hiding behind the boxes, threatening to knock down the tower of tea and create mayhem! Cheeky boy!

Thanks to Unilever and PG Tips for sending me my ‘Rich’ box; it’s very much appreciated, by me (and Monkey!)

Being a lover of fruit teas, I was very pleased to be sent a Cold Brew Tea Bottle (RRP £20) from Whittards along with two packets of their teas; the Very Berry Burst fruit infusion and the Mango and Bergamot a Flavoured Green Tea.

The tea bottle is a glass bottle, with a filter/strainer that fits inside and a rubber top with a stopper, looking much like a wine bottle. By infusing the tea slowly, you get all of the mild, rich flavour with none of the bitterness. It’s incredibly easy to use too; you simply add 5-7 teaspoons (15g) of your tea leaves to the bottle, fill with cold water to the top mark, place the cap on, swirl the bottle to mix and then refrigerate for a few hours (or overnight).

I made my first bottle using the Very Berry tea and left it overnight to infuse. The following morning the tea was a rich, fruity red with a clean taste, no bitterness and very refreshing. To serve, you simply swirl bottle to mix, allow the leaves to settle for a short while and then pour. The inbuilt filter stops the leaves coming out into your glass. I enjoyed mine at my desk at work throughout the day, but this would be a perfect drink to accompany a meal, a picnic or just a refreshing non alcoholic drink at the end of the day.

I’m now getting through a bottle of this tea a day and as it’s sugar free, it’s the perfect tasty, low calorie way to remain hydrated.

I was sent the Cold Brew Tea Bottle and teas free of charge from Whittards. I was not under any obligation to write a review, positive or otherwise.
