Aldi Diplomat Biscuit tea

Having tried the Yorkshire Biscuit tea which tastes like biscuits I had to get my hands on the Aldi dupe to compare.
Unfortunately, it is the same as the other Aldi teas, you get a lot of tea scum within seconds of putting hot water in the cup.
As soon as you pour the water in, the colour of the tea without milk goes extremely dark.
Sadly, the smell and taste of the biscuit was too light and over powered by the black tea base which was too strong and almost bitter.

Birchall teas review

Discovered Birchall teas the speciality food fair and my favourite had to be the great rift ie strong breakfast tea.
The rest were too aromatic although the green tea peach had a strong green tea base followed by a strong peach aroma.
I believe their teas are popular in Asia since there is Asian language at the back.

Good & Proper Teas review

Discovered Good & Proper teas at Specialty food fair.

I sampled the Earl Grey and Jade tips and felt that their teas were quite strong so you don't have to steep the tea bags for long.

[Tea Review] Yorkshire Toast and Jam Tea & Malty Biscuit Tea! Get your kettles on!

As well as biscuits taken to the next level, English Tea is also getting a playful twist!
A few years ago we saw Sainsbury's launch the Brussels sprouts tea and the Pigs in Blanket tea for Christmas and then Hot Cross bun tea for Easter.

Now Yorkshire Tea is stirring the headlines with the launch of three new teas next week available at ASDA with BEDTIME BREW, TOAST & JAM as well as BISCUIT!

Analyzing the teas, I was glad the bedtime brew was a good pairing of nutmeg and vanilla rather than chamomile.

I am more excited on the other two because it doesn't really mention what's in them but the Biscuit makes sense to be malty just like Malted milk biscuits and tea.

As for the Toast & Jam it has to be sweet but I'd like to see how they pull it off like the McVities Marmalade on toast digestives.

I would imagine the BEDTIME BREW on the same lines as Masala Chai.

This year has certainly been a fun year with all these products.

Some people might be saying this is going to far but I'd rather see how far it can go!

[Yorkshire Tea Toast & Jam Review]

Tried the new Yorkshire toast and jam tea and loved it.

When you open the sealed bag, there is a lovely strawberry scent.

I tried the teas black and with milk.

BLACK

When you don't ad milk, the tea is like your regular tea with a strawberry aroma that's not too sweet or overpowering.

I like the way its different to other strawberry teas because it is not sour and you can taste the Yorkshire blend.

In a way, I felt that the flavouring was like Monin syrup without the syrup.

WITH MILK + SUGAR

Adding milk and sugar to it made the Toast & Jam tea indulgent and comforting but you have to be careful not to add too much sugar or it will be too sweet in terms of the strawberry.

This tea should have been launched for summer but it's still a nice drink in the afternoon.

As well as regular milk, having it with nut milks such as almond milk gives it another dimension.

[Yorkshire Tea Biscuit Review]

Tried the biscuit tea without milk and sugar and it was another comforting tea.

I had it first thing in the morning and it was like a sweet morning call.

Having it milk and sugar is like dunking biscuits into tea.

[Yorkshire Tea Bedtime Review]

Tried the Bedtime tea without milk and sugar and it just reminded me of Chai Masala because of the nutmeg.

The spices were a little overwhelming for me but this particular tea paired well with a rich chocolate cake.

They also have breakfast tea!

[Review] Aldi Diplomat Pure Green Tea

Only tried this because it was cheap.
For 55p, you get 40 tea bags!
Unfortunately, it was just tasteless yet the tea had the strong colour.
Strangely it was bland but you could still distinguish it was green tea.
Definitely not impressed because after 20 minutes, a layer of tea scum had formed.

2020 Easter supermarket finds - Easter Eggs, Crumpets, Hot Cross buns and Tea

Easter is celebrated in commemoration of Jesus being resurrected.

Easter eggs are said to represent Jesus' emergence from the tomb and resurrection hence all these chocolate Easter Eggs.

In the 1900s, there were chocolate chickens, chocolate fish etc according to the dailymail.

In my childhood days, it was just chocolate eggs by the regular brands like Cadbury's etc.

Since 2018, Easter eggs of all shapes and sizes began to appear like Unicorn shaped chocolate, avocado chocolate etc.

Here is a sample of what I found in 2020.
It was a mix of traditional and eye catching chocolate, but the there was a LATE COMER, Marks and Spencers came out with savoury Cheese eggs in two sizes!

Waitrose has repeated the avocado as well as Heston's Scotch Egg:

Hot Cross buns are getting fancy this year.

I like the idea of Chocolate and Cherry from Waitrose, as well as tea infused fruits.

Marks and Spencers has chili and cheese which I would expect it to good if it tastes 100% savoury!

Hot Cross Bun flavoured tea by Sainsbury!

Last but not least crumpets which come in all shapes for every occasion.
Christmas tree shaped crumpets for Christmas, heart shaped crumpets for Valentines and Bunny shaped for Easter.
