Tea When? Tea Now!

 

When I started out on my little tea adventure only a few short months ago, I had no idea just how exciting those travels would turn out to be. Recently, I had the absolute privilege of being one of the first to experience six organic teas from the newly launched Australian tea blender, Tea Now.

Based in the state of Victoria, Tea Now has been created to assist and encourage people on their path to wellness, whilst also providing great tasting teas that you'll love. These six teas have been expertly crafted by a qualified herbalist to provide a pleasantly healthy drinking experience. Having tried them for myself, I feel pretty confident in saying that Tea Now is definitely headed for success. As a life long (almost exclusively) black tea lover, a key part of my tea journey is about learning to love herbal teas, not just my favourite English Breakfast. So tasting these teas has been a real eye opener for me.

Here's my takeaway on these great new blends:

Blend:	Relax
Ingredients:	Chamomile, skullcap, orange peel, lemon balm, passionflower, rose petal and lavender
Great for:	Reducing anxiety and promoting relaxation
Impressions:	Floral and very soothing. Strong chamomile notes with subdued citrus undertones

 

Blend:	Purify

Great for:	A natural detox
Impressions:	Fresh and minty with a soft floral undertone

 

Blend:	Enhance

Blend:	Vitalise
Ingredients:	Green tea, peppermint, dried apple, calendula, green tea extract, natural flavours
Great for:	Boosting energy
Impressions:	Fruity and sweet. Pleasantly fresh with a mild minty undertone.

 

Blend:	Relieve
Ingredients:	Flaxseed, honeybush, roasted dandelion root, licorice root, true cinnamon, Pu'Erh tea, rose petals and calendula petals
Great for:	Bowel Cleanse!
Impressions:	Strong earthy overtones due to the flaxseed and Pu'Erh. Very potent!

 

Blend:	Revive
Ingredients:	Ripe Pu'Erh, cocoa shells, orange peel, apple pieces and rose petals.
Great for:	Starting your day off on the right foot
Impressions:	Intense Pu'Erh overtones, with the intensity of a rich dark chocolate aftertaste. Slight fruity undertone

 

If I had to pick a favourite, I would definietly choose Purify, followed very closely by Vitalise. I'm actually not too surprised by this, both these teas feature peppermint and I'm such a sucker for the fresh taste of a hot peppermint tea. Apart from tasting lovely, peppermint is great for digestion and bloating, which is what I tend to use it for. I also absolutely adored the soft floral undertone of Purify and sweet fruitiness of Vitalise.

I'd have to say the biggest surprise for me was Enhance - I was really hesitant about the brown rice, but I ended up being so pleasantly surprised! Enhance is going to be a great winter warmer tea I think!

Whilst I enjoyed tasting each one of these teas, I will admit there were two out of the above six blends that were really, REALLY strong for me - but that's ok! Certain ingredients appeal differently to different people, so what tastes overpowering for me may not necessarily be overpowering for you, and vice versa. These are high performance teas, and I have no reservations in saying that I believe these teas are definitely going to live up to expectation.
