Best flavoured tea

35 replies

Cloud44 · 21/02/2024 20:09

Im not a massive tea drinker, only once in a while but I’d like to find a flavoured tea that I like, either for relaxing or giving an energy boost?! There seem to be so many in the supermarket, has anyone got any recommendations? I quite like a normal warm water, honey and lemon mix if that’s any help.

I don’t like regular black tea, but enjoy fruit & herbal teas.
One of my favourites is peppermint & liquorice. Aldi do a mixture, or you can put one of each teabag in a cup. I like the Sainsbury’s ones too.

I used to work in an office where there was often a big pot of tea flavoured with a little bit of a cinnamon stick (or cassia bark) and cloves on the go. It was really good and I've carried on making tea like that at home. You can get the cassia bark from bigger supermarkets or from a good corner shop.

I also love a fennel tea. Pukka is crazy expensive these days so I tend to buy own brand, there doesn't seem to be much difference in flavour to me.

Licorice 😋

Twinnings buttermint and twinnings fennel are amazing!

It's like a thick-cut plum marmalade...

I don't think I've ever eaten a plum 😊

I discovered Korean plum tea the other week in our Asian market. It looks like a jam and you add 2 or 3 teaspoons to a mug with hot water. Sweet and fruity with bits in to garner 1 of your 5 a day Wink

Bits! Now that's controversial 😂

I used to love fruit flavoured teas. Berry flavoured. Very warming of a winter's evening.

Santasbigredbobblehat · 21/02/2024 23:26

I rate Tea Pigs ginger tea-expensive though. The Pukka three ginger is a good alternative.

Caerulea · 21/02/2024 23:26

Peppermint & liquorice Teapigs is incredible, tastes just like you're chewing liquorice root (not like the sweets at all).

Williamsons Earl Grey is the best flavoured black tea bar none, to me at least

for normal im Pg / Yorkshire /

ronconcoke · 21/02/2024 23:02

Teapigs peppermint is the best peppermint I've tasted. It's so expensive though!
I've also recently discovered green tea with mint, which is really refreshing and good for a pick-me-up.
I'm partial to camomile too, especially when mixed with vanilla, honey etc.

Dragonfly Rooibos and Vanilla

erniesmilkcart · 21/02/2024 22:56

Twinnings buttermint is amazing! And Pukka 3 cinnamon. I also like fennel tea, camomile and green tea with a lice of lemon. Not personally into the fruit flavours unless maybe with a dash of honey.

Newestname002 · 21/02/2024 22:52

I love Pukka teas, particularly matcha green tea with Pukka three mint tea mixed together. 🌹

Sunshineandrainbow · 21/02/2024 22:32

Twinning sleep, apple, camomile and vanilla is lush.

BertieBotts · 21/02/2024 22:28

There is a twinings chamomile and apple which is lovely.

Pukka sleep and teapig liquorice.

Createausername1970 · 21/02/2024 21:23

Lemon and Ginger. Just drinking a cup now.

Or Spicy Ginger.

MaisyMary77 · 21/02/2024 21:20

I don’t like normal tea at all, I’m very much a coffee person. However, last year I discovered liquorice and peppermint, and liquorice and fennel. They are really nice. Both by Teapigs. I order online direct from tea pigs as it’s a lot cheaper.
Pukka also does a very nice liquorice and peppermint but I got fed up of their teabags splitting. :(

Mumof2NDers · 21/02/2024 20:54

I only really like very strong tea flavoured tea 😀

Aldi lemon and ginger is my favourite, so comforting
