2015 || September Favourites

Hey guys!

Most of you already know that I am a massive tea drinker and I've previously reviewed Clipper's tea here. As September is such a dreary month, I've been drinking more tea. I'm a big fan of green and herbal teas, especially in the morning while I'm getting ready or at night before bed. 

Lemon green tea are very refreshing to have in the morning and because it has caffeine it will wake you up instantly. If you find green tea a bit bitter, you can always use a sweetener or one teaspoon of sugar for added taste. I would recommend using honey instead of sugar just because it tastes nicer and is healthier. :)

You could also add a slice of lemon or orange for extra taste. I love putting slices of lemon, orange and a couple of mint leaves in filtered water as it's a good cleanser for your system and gets rid of unhealthy toxins!
This tea retails at around £3.00. I bought it on offer for only £1.00 which is a complete bargain for 80 tea bags.
The Snore&Peace tea is very calming and sends you off to sleep. It is especially useful for people who share a room and feel like they are disrupting the other person with their snoring as this tea helps to clear out the nasal cavity, enabling the person to breathe through their nose without snoring. It is very tasty, and I highly recommend it to those who have snoring problems or are just after a peaceful night.

Have you tried any of these teas? If so, what did you think of them?

Review || Clipper Fruit Infusions Teas

Hey lovelies!
I am a massive tea freak, and when I found those two boxes of Clipper's tea on offer at Tesco for 37p each I picked up a few boxes! The flavours I chose were Cranberry&Raspberry Organic Infusions and Apple&Elderflower Organic Infusions. The packaging itself is magical, it is very funky and colourful which suits the brand itself as they like to mix up different flavours together even if it's something you wouldn't usually go for - they always get it just right.
 This is what the teabag looked like when I took it out the box. This is the Cranberry&Raspberry flavoured one and as you can see it has little fruits drawn on the wrapper. All teabags are individually wrapped as to keep in the scent and flavour locked inside rather than it evaporating into thin air. It is also helpful if you want to take it to work with you rather than having to bring the whole box and making sure your colleagues don't try and steal it!
 So this is what the teabag looks like out the wrapper. You can see the tea granules/leafs and also the small pieces of fruit. It smelled immense as soon as I opened the wrapper.
The hot water turned a dark red colour as soon as I dipped the teabag in. The smell was overwhelming it was so fruity. This tea tasted lovely and has become one of my favourites by the brand.

 This is the packaging of the Apple&Elderflower tea and it looks just as cute as the other one. You can see the cute apples and elderflowers on the wrapper so you can always distinguish which flavour of tea it is if you mix the different ones in a tin.
 This tea smelled like Spring - it was full of florals and Granny Apples. It was just too good to be true, and I was right...
It might look delicious but wasn't what I hoped for at all. It tasted a bit nutty and had a hint of cinnamon which I don't like in teas. Maybe it would have tasted better cold or with some fresh mint. Either way I will try and mix the two teas together and see what it would taste like then!
