As with all Crabtree and Evelyn, they are beautifully and scrumptiously packaged. The black teas come in either a box or a tea caddy tin with Jane Austenesque images that harken back to those twee times when ladies sat in gardens sipping tea while crocheting lace. I immediately bought a tea caddy that came with all three varieties of black tea and then my mum bought me a box of the Afternoon Tea for a Christmas gift.
For those who prefer a herbal tea, they also stock chamomile and peppermint teas which I look forward to trying when I have my stash of tea down. It's a little ridiculous at the moment just how much tea I have!
I must admit that for flavour, I still prefer my Twinings tea, but this is probably purely because of habit. They do taste nice, especially the Earl Grey with the citrusy flavours. This year I aim to widen my tea palette so this is a good start on my journey
I like Twinings too...and PG Tips! Have to say though, those tins are adorable and will be really useful in a knit nook after.
ReplyDeleteHehe I was thinking just the same thing about the tin. Very handy for sewing and knitting nick-knacks.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of PG Tips before. I googled it and the knitted monkey is a cutie!
What beautiful boxes! Good tea from a pretty box is extra special isn't it :)
