Ginseng Guardian Blend: It’s hard to know where to start with this amazing tea. It has a growing fan club that not only swears by its vast array of healthy qualities but also rave about the amazing flavour. It’s unusual to find something that tastes so good that you can feel wonderful about consuming. The sharp flavours of the ginseng and the lemon are subdued by the cream (freeze dried yoghurt granules with vanilla). The ginseng itself is an incredible root; it is something called an adaptogen which means it contains lots of different properties and your body takes from it what it needs at the time. It is best known as a natural energiser so it’s a great alternative to that morning coffee. Conversely, it is also very good at building up a resistance against the symptoms of stress so you’ll sleep better AND it strengthens the immune system. Its benefits are too many to list here so it’s worth looking up but as far as I’m concerned if the Russian cosmonauts say ginseng is good I’m prepared to take their word for it. Regardless, this is a very yummy tea.
Ingredients: Ginseng root, Lemongrass, Lemon fruit granulate, Sunflower blossoms and Cream with a Sencha green tea base. - £5.50

Wanderlust: Literally means a love of hiking… and who doesn’t?! It is named Wanderlust for the hot apple cider aroma, an essential to have at all times when in the wilderness (they don’t often tell you that in survival books.) An even more appropriate comparison would be apple crumble which is always nice to come home to. Pass the cake, please!
