Talk about versatile! This new South Korean launch isn’t just a hot drink. It can be enjoyed with iced water, milk, yogurt or cereals, and can also be used as a facial pack or added to noodle dough, says Damizle.
Forget tea bags. Drinkers in New Zealand can add a few drops of this blueberry & green tea fruit concentrate in hot water for an instant pick-me-up. Each 250ml pack contains approximately 10 servings.
Tea with added fire power. The Republic of Tea has ramped up the caffeine content of this roasted chicory flavoured blend with the addition of green tea extract and isolating pure caffeine from premium tea leaves. Despite all the extra caffeine, it helps reduce stress, apparently.
Powdered tea, milk, sugar and a cookies & cream flavouring conspire for this latest Egyptian launch for Lipton, available in Royal House stores. That’s not all: once drinkers have added hot water, they can top the brew off with a sachet of chocolate coated crispies. Sweet.
This herbal tea for kids, a blend of lemon balm and rooibos, is designed to help your little darlings drift off to a peaceful sleep. The product hit Spanish supermarket chain Condis in September and contains no artificial colours or flavourings or added sugar.
Somehow squeezing a tea bag over a cup doesn’t quite suit the refined image of Earl Grey tea. So Carrefour has developed a tea stick, which can be stood up in a cup and used to stir with until infusion is complete. How civilised.
This isn’t any old instant toasted barley drink; this one includes ancient cereals direct from the Andes. The corn quinoa, amaranth and cañihua give the drink a high iron and vitamin content, which Nestlé says promotes strength and vigour for the whole family.
The latest of Epani’s range of herbal teas – a mix of god old Rosie Lee and German chocolate – hit South Korea’s Emart supermarket chain last month. The product is 100% organic, according to the brand.
In the States, it’s okay to start your day with a cider. But relax, this mix of dried apples and brown sugar, is alcohol free. Available in packs of 16 pods compatible with the Keurig K-Cup home coffee system, and available in Super Target stores.
Finnish brand Yoggi Tea has mixed South American caffeinated rocket fuel mate with green tea and lemon for its latest launch, which hit health food stores across the country in September.
Not just any old cuppa. Grower’s Cup has specially devised this filter system for whole leave tea to replicate the quality of brewing your own pot of tea. Each pouch provides enough for two cups. Available in health food stores in three variants: black; herbal and red tea (a mix of rooibos and green tea).
