Bruu tea subscription
Pick the tea you like to drink by excluding the blends and ingredients that you don’t like, and Bruu’s clever tea engine will churn out some ideas of loose-leaf blends which will go down a storm with you. The letterbox-friendly package will be delivered on the first of each month, with three gourmet selections which should give you around 30 cups of tea. You get a bonus “discover” tea from its featured region too – ours was Lapland, which gave us a festive cinnamon and cocoa flavour. Turkish Apple was the standout, however, with a powerful creamy fruit flavour and no mistaking the ingredients.
There is a handy guide with information on how to brew, where each tea is from, and some facts about the region, as well as where you’ll be “visiting” next month. If you can’t stop thinking about the thousands of teas from around the world which you’re yet to try, this is the box for you (but the impressive attention-to-detail packaging makes a wonderful gift, too). The separate cards for every blend, secured with a tiny peg and wrapped up within the box, give a very special, valued feel which matches the high quality of the leaves perfectly. Pause or cancel at any time, but the wide variety of tea certainly means you won’t get bored.
