So here marks my journey of reviewing products and food. I'm going to start of with a drink. So yesterday while shopping with my mom for Mother's day, we head on to Marks and Spencer to get some groceries.
What i love about Marks & Spencer is their range of you can say almost sorta organic kinda food range. No artificial additives, flavorings and MSG.
So i stumbled upon this at the tea section.
I'm a fan of cranberry juice and well.. the taste of elderflower gives a complimentary body of sourness (hmm) so i decided to get it since im a sucker for sour stuff.
The box comes with 20 sachets of infused tea which looks like this
i love teabags that has no strings, no stapler (yes they actually stapler them and expect you to dunk it in the water together while you let your tea infuse)
Now what's funny is that, i thought that the entire tea sachets only contained cranberries and elderflowers but i was wrong
Ok so the picture might not be clear enough due to my low quality phone camera (i don't own an iphone and so what)
Hibiscus - 45%
Rosehip- 15%
Liquorice Root -10%
Dried cranberries - 10%
Apple- 10%
Elderflower -5%
Natural Raspberry Flavoring- 5%
So basically this tea should have been named Hibiscus tea rather than its posh Cranberry and Elderflower name. Yes i must admit, Hibiscus tea sounds rather disgusting and cheap so i think it must have been their marketing scheme to add the elderflower into the title to make it sound more posh.
As you can see, the color of the tea is a reminiscence of your rose hip tea which comes out pinkish at first
and sorta bloody red after.
Taste wise - its pretty sour and tart if you don't add sugar into it, sorta like a more fruity version of rosehip tea, can't really taste the elderflower but it sorta enhances the flavor of the cranberries.
It does leave an after taste on your tongue, sorta like the after taste you get after sipping on warm lemonade.
The tea is sold at the price of RM 7.50 at all Mark and Spencer's outlet in Malaysia.
Till next time. <3
