‘This little box of delightful teas fits right in with your healthy lifestyle and is something you can feel good about! Take the #teatox challenge now and share how you get on.’

Green Yerba Mate

Also available is Green Yerba Mate, an infusion with a difference. Yerba Mate is said to contain a fair share of caffeine similar to that of coffee. It is not strictly ‘tea’ as it does not come from the Camelia Sinensis plant. It is a herbal infusion created from an ever-green South American Holly Tree. People have taken to drinking it for its suggested health benefits as well as its energising properties.

Incredibly popular and harvested in South America, this infusion has a taste similar to that of a very slightly smoky, or perhaps earthy green tea. Once harvested, the drying process often takes part next to a wood fire, which imparts this unique vegetal, delicate smoky flavour. It is available price from £2.50–£15.95.

These are available from January to buy online from Eteaket directly www.eteaket.co.uk, their tea room on Frederick Street and their concept store on Rose Street.
