The beautiful Vanessa from Kidz Tea is the mum of two gorgeous little girls. She says" In my own love for sitting down to a nice cup of tea and feeling the great benefits of it, my eldest daughter Alira took an interest in having a cup of tea with me and loves feeling like a 'big girl' when having a cuppa with mummy." And that's how Kidz Tea was born! The smell of these gorgeous teas hit us immediately on arrival - a beautiful, fresh aroma of berries! We couldn't wait to review them. Oh, we know they are teas for kids and the kids loved them but they were just as popular with the adults! Vanessa also explains that "Throughout the different teas there are some amazing health benefits to children and what a great alternative to cordial and heavily sugared fruit juices. Kidz Tea can be delicious warm on a cold wintery morning or refreshing as a cold drink on a hot summers day. A great little treat also is to mix it with gelatine and make a 'healthy' jelly desert." How right she is - the kids accepted the teas readily and we tried them on warm and cold versions, both went down without a fight! The smell of the teas really attracted the kids firstly but they sipped and drank them to the very end and loved them. You can't get a better endorsement than that from children. The teas come beautifully packaged with delightful names like 'Andy Apple', Ricky Raspberry', 'Penny Peach' and my personal favourite 'Tina Colada'! Explainantion cards are attached so you know what's in the teas and how to prepare them. You can even buy a party pack for that special tea party! We had a great time reviewing these teas with our little reviewers and would recommend you take a look at their website where you can order the teas directly.
