In a week when I needed an extra little treat, I received a box of Bright Barley drinks to sample. With chocolate, salted caramel and coffee flavours, made with all natural ingredients, I was too tempted to say no. These vegan drinks contain organic barley syrup, agave sugar and organic barley, grown on UK farms. […]

TRIED & TESTED // OJAMIN HERB & FRUIT TONIC
Having spent a month in India last year receiving Ayurvedic treatment I have become a true believer in this way of being. Sanskrit for ‘The Science Of Life’ Ayurveda stems from ancient Vedic Culture and is believed to be the mother of all healing. Through balancing the mind, body and consciousness, this holistic approach places […]

TRIED & TESTED: Teapigs cold brew tea
Cold tea? Sounds unappealing right? Think again. Teapigs, the purveyor of high-quality teas, has released two new flavours of cold brew tea that you can steep in cold water for a refreshing summery drink. The flavours are rose & lychee and apple & cucumber. I was sceptical as I’m not a huge fan of herbal […]
TRIED & TESTED // Three Spirit, “a new natural alternative to booze”
Three Spirit describes itself as ‘the world’s first social elixir, a new, natural alternative to booze’. There’s a new wave of social drinkers, and they’re not relying on alcohol to make connections. But does this alcohol-free spirit have the same ‘kick’? It’s obvious that there has been a gradual but marked shift in our culture […]
TRIED & TESTED // We are Tea
A cup of tea makes everything better right? I will admit I do love a cup of tea – so much so that when my brother asked what I would like for my birthday one year I asked for a tea caddy for all my special teas (don’t judge me). So it’s always exciting to […]
TRIED & TESTED: Lyons Coffee Bags
How do you like your morning brew? When it comes to coffee, we enjoy it filtered, instant, dripped and pressed but have you ever had it from a bag? Neither had we, until we tried Lyons coffee bags. 55 million cups of coffee are drunk every single day in the UK*. That’s a lot of […]
