Marks & Spencer Tea

I had to go into lab early this morning. So I just grabbed one of these teabags from my roommates’s stash and put it in my thermos to go. Unfortunately I just took naps during the downtime instead of drinking my tea and being productive. When I got home, the tea was super strongly brewed — so I had to water it down a lot. Still good and at least I’m awake now.

This is a grower .. at first wasn’t blown away but after drinking it for a week or so I’ve found it to be a right satisfying cuppa.

A solid brew with a good malty taste…not as good as M&S Gold but still a decent tea to get the morning off to a good start.

The only way to start the day.

An absolutely smashing brew very refreshing and a great start to the day.

I love this tea. One of the best drink all day, everyday teas you can get – maybe even better than Yorkshire Gold?

Not great.

Added 4tsp of milk. Drinking this while listening to Deezer’s pop radio station + reading the papers + eating Malaysian peanut biscuits.

Wouldn’t get near to ginger unless there’s a good reason for me to. Needed this for a quick fix to my flu. Taste wise, I’d say 80% ginger and 10% each for lemon and ginseng. Flu’s fixed, so thumbs up!

Had this with breakfast actually so a little late in logging it. Nice!

Love starting my day with this tea. I usually leave my teabag in longer than necessary so I get a fuller flavor. Gets me going everytime!

I don’t usually get my teas from Marks and Spencer’s but I do love their Sultana cookies. This tea goes great with the cookies and most other pastries as it has a distinct flavor but is not overwhelming and somehow compliments sweet foods. If enjoying with sweet foods, I’ll recommend less sugar (none if food is really sweet on its own) and just a dash of milk.
