Tetley Peppermint Punch

Advantages: Tasty, caffeine free, currently a bargain
Disadvantages: Murky colour, unidentified residue

...a bargain, I spotted these Tetley Peppermint Punch teabags at the very attractive price of just 39 Pence for twenty in Morrisons and pounced. I was not sure about buying something like this from Tetley because I associate the brand with traditional tea which I do not drink at all. Furthermore, I am wary of some of these fruit and herbal teas because I find them too sweet, tasting too artificial and being lurid colours which I find unnecessary. However, ...
...between just right and stewed. Tetley suggest between three and five minutes, but I find two and a half sufficient. The packaging notes suggest sweetening the tea with sugar or honey and even though I must admit to having a sweet tooth, I have not felt the need to sweeten this particular brand. The initial taste is of the lovely fresh peppermint leaves and it’s predominantly herbal. Tetley claim that the only ingredient is the finest European peppermint ... Read review

Advantages: Good way to get benefits of green tea, refreshing
Disadvantages: Needs extra lemon for a better flavour

Advantages: Stronger flavour than other brands of Peppermint tea
Disadvantages: Gives you the Furry Tongue Syndrome

...A couple of months ago at my local Tesco store I saw a new addition to the range of flavoured teas. Now my local Tesco store is tiny, so tiny that I bet it's the smallest Tesco in Britain! As a result there's not much room on the shelves for new brands or products. When one does come along it HAS to be worth trying. Tetley's Fruit and Herbal are a range of 12 different fruit flavoured teas. You can buy: Assam Earl Grey Earl Grey and Vanilla English Breakfast Camomile Smile Orange and Peach Peppermint Punch Summer Berry Merry Sweet Cranberry Green Tea Decaf ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Company ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As with many companies Tetley recognises that its consumers are becoming increasingly concerned with the environment, fair trade and public rights. These beliefs obviously affect their spending habits. I myself feel... Read review
