    REVIEW: Some teas from Twinings

    A friend brought me from England a couple of different Twinings tea bags. I was so excited to have so many tea flavors. All of them are fruit and herbal teas (infusions) with no caffeine. I tried them all and here is what I think about them:

    1. CAMOMILE, HONEY & VANILLA Twinings Tea

    This one I loved! A perfectly balanced taste. It feels very natural. It is velvety. A little bit sweet. It makes my tummy feel good. The smell is very pleasant, but not too powerful.
    I must admit that it was strangely sweet… I hope it doesn’t contain artificial sweetener.
    I liked it very much, I found it calming. This tea is perfect to calm down, read a book, surf internet before going to sleep.

    I read the reviews about this tea on the Twinings website and a guy said that he liked it but the CAMOMILE & SPICED APPLE . I wonder how this one is…

    2. MANGO & STRAWBERRY Twinings Tea

    This tea has a very fresh taste. The smell is pleasant and fruity, but not too powerful.
    You can definitely feel the citrus.
    The Mango and Strawberry tea is a good tea to drink in summer, I guess, since it is so happy and refreshing. I also liked it very much.

    3. BLUEBERRY & APPLE Twinings Tea

    Well, there was a song, a famous one. Very romantic. Do you remember it? It describes so perfectly my feelings towards this tea…

    Yeah, as you might already figured it out, I fell in love with the BLUEBERRY & APPLE Twinings Tea.

    It is amazing! It smells great and has a powerful smell, which will leave the entire room smelling great.
    The feeling is like eating a cookie, even there is nothing sugary.
    It feels very soft in mouth, very velvety.
    Definitely one of my favorite teas ever.
    The color is also interesting, dark blue. Beautiful!

    Its ingredients: Hibiscus, Natural Apple and Blueberry Flavourings with Other Natural Flavourings (14%), Apple Pieces, Rosehips, Liquorice Root

    4. PURE LIQUORICE Twinings Tea

    And now… the DISASTER! The horrifing, terrible monstruozity that is the LIQUORICE tea!!! How can anyone drink THIS?! I’m sure the Liquorice Tea has some health benefits, but why would anyone in this world drink something so disgusting just for fun?!

    I am exaggerating. I know people have different taste, but I really disliked this tea…. It was like drinking vomit infusion… it was sour and extremely sweet in the same time. I definitely coudn’t drink it and unfortunatelly I threw it away.

    Well, that’s it. Hope this review helps. Now go get yourselves a nice cup of tea / fruit infusions 🙂

    Love and Kisses! 💋💋💋

  • REVIEW: Mixed feelings about Ferrero ValParaiso Chocolate

    REVIEW: Mixed feelings about Ferrero ValParaiso Chocolate

    This week I tried 3 different types of Ferrero ValParaiso Chocolate. I usually like Ferrero products and I kind of expected these ones to be tasty. I was happy to find these little packages because I’ve seen the big ones before but I didn’t want to buy them since I didn’t know which flavor to choose and if I would like them.

    What I liked

    The good thing about these chocolates is that the chocolate itself is good quality. Also, I like the fact that the filling is 99% fruit. Another good thing is that they are not extremely sweet.

    What I didn’t like

    What I didn’t like was that there was too much filling and no wafer or something similar, like a buffer between the chocolate and the fruit. I don’t know why, but I thought it would be crispy, but since there was no “buffer”, it wasn’t crispy at all. The whole experience of eating it was not so spectacular.

    Favorite flavor

    In fact, the flavors are pretty similar. I can’t really say which one is my favorite. As you can read on the package, each one of them has an “Apfelbasis”, which means most of the filling consists in apple. So there it is, the apple taste in all of the packages, with slightly different aromas.

    Will I repurchase?

    Maybe the Mango one, in the Summer, because its taste is more fresh than the others and it reminds me of a relaxing cocktail on the beach…
