Honey Heaven Teas

Continuing with the That's Food and Drink virtual tea festival we take a look at the teas from Honey Heaven.

The herbs and spices used in the tea blends are all grown in Hungary (except for one, which I'll tell you about later) and guaranteed to be 100% organic and are made to a natural naturopath approved formulation.

We start with Refresh tea blend.

This blend contains peppermint, rosehip, hibiscus and lavender.

It is easy to make and also easy to drink. one or two teaspoons of tea, pour 250ml of water (that's about 8.8 fluid ounces) that should be 90 to 100c in temperature.

You should steep it for 10 minutes and then strain it and it is ready be drunk. You can sweeten it with honey or sugar, or drink it unsweetened. It's delicious either way, there's a good blend of flavours combing the peppermint, though the hibiscus rosehip and lavender also make themselves known.

It is designed as a tea to refresh the mind and calm the spirit and does this very well indeed.A particular favourite of my wife and myself is the Honey Heaven Oolong Detox.

It is a combination of oolong tea, ginger, cinnamon and gingko biloba.

You can definitely taste the oolong tea, but the ginger and the cinnamon spices really do give this particular blend of tea some spicy, warming oomph!  And the recommended three cups a day will help you to detox but in a natural way.

Preparations for this tea are exactly the same as for the Refresh blend. 

Now we look at the Honey Heaven Morning Time tea blend.

If you want a drink of tea to set you up for the day which doesn't contain a nerve shattering jolt of caffeine, then Morning Time tea blend is going to be your cup of tea. And quite literally, too.

It's ingredients are rosehip, hibiscus and calendula which combine together to deliver a cup of tea that is refreshing but with a fruity undertone to it, which makes for an extremely refreshing cup of tea.

Something that is a little different in the range is the Energise CBD Herbal Mate Tea. 

It contains Mate tea, orange peel, lemon peel, elderflower, rosemary and rose petal. Plus there is organic hemp which is harvested in Ireland.

Having drunk it it reminds me of an advert for a stout that was widely seen as a rival to Guinness. An older chap would say: "It looks good, it tastes good and by golly it does you good!" And that's pretty much my view of the Energise CBD Herbal Mate Tea. Obviously my judgement isn't scientific, but I know how it tastes and how I felt it made me feel better.

The instructions for preparing this tea are a little different to the other tea blends in the range. one to two teaspoons of the tea, but the water needs ideally to be a little bit cooler, between 70 to 80c. However, the steeping time and the amount of water used is about the same.

Obviously if you are making a cup for two or more people just double or triple the amount of tea and water that you use.

Other blends of tea are available and they also sell CBD oils, meads, honeys, Organic Hungarian Acacia Honeycomb, skincare products, etc.
