After having won Great Taste Award, Thankfully Healthy creator, Dipti Arora, reached out to Vision to try a few of her teas, and we’re so thankful (!) she did.
I’d just got back home after a long, rainy day at work with the weather looking very November-like in August. But what did I find on my doorstep? A lovely little parcel filled with the prettiest tea boxes I’ve ever seen. My day got instantly better.
The beautiful designs on the boxes immediately stood out to me. But now let’s get into what’s most important. Do they taste good, and do they actually do what they claim to do?
We were lucky enough to be sent 3 flavours: Tea Dreams, Immunity in a Cup, and Digestive Healer. I don’t know about you, but I’ve never seen teas with names like these before!
Immunity in a Cup:
A strength and energy-inducing tea which includes rose petals, turmeric and cardamom. The slight spice from the turmeric was a lovely addition and helped me feel energised! All the teas are handmade making each sip feel that bit more special knowing that it’s been lovingly prepared.
Digestive Healer:
Including spices like cumin, marigold and fennel, this tea heals digestion. My experience of herbal teas has been kept mostly to things like peppermint and green tea. These teas all have flavours I’m not used to finding in teas, but this one was maybe the most unusual for me. Despite this, I loved this flavour. After the initial spice there is a very sweet aftertaste perfect for my sweet tooth! But most importantly for me, I found it really soothing for my stomach. I.e. it does what it says it does.
Tea Dreams:
This ‘peaceful night-time tea’ is made up of 3 ingredients: butterfly pea flowers, Indian ginseng and lavender. This was by far my favourite tea for one reason. When I poured the hot water over the tea bag, it turned the most amazing, dark indigo colour. I’ve never seen anything like it! The flavours of this tea, especially the lavender, are subtle and soothing, perfect for before bedtime.
Each of these boxes costs about £5, so they are a little pricier. But if you are an avid tea drinker, they are worth the investment! After all, what is better than curling up in the evening with a cup of (healthy!) tea and a good book?
