Sometimes as a parent you just need 5 minutes peace. Those 5 minutes are even better if you can enjoy a great cup of tea that’s still warm. The True Tea Club sent me a standard subscription box to review which has enough loose leaf tea to make 40 cups of tea, that means I get at least 3 hours peace right? Well maybe not, but the tea does provide a little bit of calm in the chaos of my home.
My taste for tea has changed over the years. When I was pregnant with my youngest I stopped enjoying my normal cup of builder’s tea and started drinking Earl Grey, a tea I didn't like when I was younger. When I gave up dairy in January I stopped drinking tea for a while because none of the alternative milks tasted quite right. I slowly realised that I preferred my tea without milk and suddenly I discovered a whole new world of tea flavours.
The True Tea Club is based in York and specialises in 7 types of loose leaf te white tea, green tea, black tea, oolong, chair, rooibos and herbal tea. They have a new monthly subscription box with 4 different loose leaf teas to try each month. The standard box costs £10 a month and makes 40 cups, but if you drink a lot of tea you can go for the premium or deluxe packages which make 60 or 80 cups of tea. Delivery is free in the UK (International delivery also available).

Handily the box fits through a normal letter box which means you can find it on your door mat when you get home, or in my case there was no delivery man knocking noisily on the door and waking my baby up (she always seems to have just gone down for a nap when a delivery comes).
It doesn’t matter how much you know about tea as each packet tells you what temperature the water should be and how long the blend should be left to brew. Each box contains 4 loose leaf tea packets and 4 empty tea bags so if you don’t have a tea strainer you can try them straight away. I found that the small pieces of some of the blends floated out the large holes in my infuser so if you are buying a tea infuser, go for one with small holes.
The tea in the box I was sent:
Rainbow Chaser
This herbal blend looks beautiful and a bit like potpourri. A base flavour of peppermint makes a lovely refreshing tea with other fruit flavours mixed in.
Mighty Mango
A green tea with sunflower blossoms and mango flavouring.
Earl Grey Rebel
A familiar flavour to me as a regular drinker of Earl Grey. This tea smells amazing and the the orange and lemon peel give it a subtle citrusy taste complimenting the tea perfectly.
Vanilla Cupcake
A rooibos with fruit flavours and flower petals. A good complex flavour, but I don’t like rooibos and this didn’t change my mind. Fortunately if you don’t like a type of tea you can let True Tea Club know by leaving a note when you check out.
