And once again, the tea aisle at Ollie's has captured my attention, this time with the "Glow" green tea blend from Twinings.
Nettle and strawberry and cucumber in a green tea? Well, why not? When I got home and tried it, I was very pleased with the subtle strawberry taste with what sure
seemed like a hint of mint. Indeed it was, as the ingredients include green tea, apple pieces, stinging nettle, natural strawberry and cucumber flavors, peppermint, and "steviol glycosides," which I learned are the compounds in Stevia.
When I looked up this tea on the Twinings website in the UK, I was surprised to see that *their* Glow blend is a peach-flavored white tea. Will that one come to the US eventually as well? That would be fine, but I sure like this one!
That's an interesting combination of ingredients, for sure! I would not have thought "stinging nettle" would taste good, let alone be good for one's skin. We live and learn!
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting that there are 2 versions. You need a tea pen pal so you can trade. :-)
ReplyDeleteAlthough the ingredients do sound interesting, since I'm not a green tea fan I'll pass on this one. Especially since I had a painful run-in with a stinging nettle plant in Russia a number of years ago!
ReplyDeleteNow this is fascinating! Some tea to make us glow, I like that! Marilyn M.
