fruit tea

[loukr]

I'm not a big fan of tea but I like the flavoured stuff. Can anyone recommend a good brand? as I bought twinings and to be honest one of the flavours smelt of vomit and put me off the rest of the pack..! also has anyone tried coconut and vanilla tea... and is it any good?! thanks xx

Have you tried the Infusions by Twinings. Not actually tea but a really nice fruit drink. I adore the orange, mango and cinnamon one.

Give them a go.

I also tried the coconut and vanilla but it just tasted wrong...tea should taste of tea, not coconut !!!!!

I have the infusions but didn't like it.. I bought a multipack with mixed flavours including: cranberry, rasperry, vanilla, blackcurrant, elderflower etc but didn't really like it. I'll try a different flavour next time. thanks! x

You could try Clipper, London Fruit & Herb Company or Whittard brands, on sale in most supermarkets.

Tetley have just brought out a vanilla/strawberry teabag.

I agree, some of the twinnings ones are a bit insipid.
I know they say on the box to infuse for however long, but I must admit, I leave the bag in the whole time I'm drinking it.
There's one that's honey, lemon and ginger, I think, it's lovely.
Also, Morrisons own make cranberry and echineacha(sp?) was nice too.

The London Fruit & Herb Company are the best. They're fruit infusions smell lovely and they're very refreshing. I can't stand herb teas so only ever drink the fruit ones. My favourites being: Orange Spicer, Apple & Cinnamon and Blackcurrant Bracer. They used to do a pink grapefruit one but I can't find it anymore. :'o(

Twinings Lemon & Ginger is cool. I agree that a lot of the fruit ones are insipid, but Lemon & Ginger is good

I'm not a fan of twinnings - slightly reminscent of po-pourri because of all the flowery stuff they put in.

You're probably better off with a bog standard fruit-on-its-lonesome tea, such as typhoo or sainsburys own variety mix.

Hi loukr, Try Fortnum & Mason on the internet. We always take an apple tea from them to a friend overseas and is the only one of its type we've found, he swears they (F&M) have the best quality. Also, they have a very wide variety of fruit & herb teas, well worth a try.

Thank you all loads! I will shop about for some different varieties later! =) xxx

Oh you MUST try whittards instant fruit tea, they are just soooooo lovely. I like the following ones:
Malibu and pinapple
Turkish Apple
English fruit
Lime and lemon
Dreamtime (camomille,honey,vanilla and apricot)

I drink the last one each night before going to bed, i find it quite soothing.

There's a selection pack (gitft pack) you can buy with all the different flavours in, might be worth trying that first to see if you like them.

Happy drinking :-)
