There are some strange people out there that prefer savoury to sweet. There are some even weirder people who don’t really care for chocolate. So, if you’re one of those, or know someone that’s like that, these unusual Easter flavours might appeal more than the usual fare.
- Hot cross bun tea: £3.99, teapigs
- Cheese Easter eggs: £8.50, Marks & Spencer
- Lakrids by Bülow Ægg – crispy caramel chocolate coated liquorice: £17.90, Sous Chef
We actually got sent some of the limited-edition hot cross bun tea to try out from teapigs. So we did a little afternoon tea taste test.
When I took one of the bags out of the box, I took a little sniff… am I the only one that does that? The scent was delicious, good enough to eat! The tea is flavoured with apple and cinnamon and completely caffeine-free. I made a brew, nice and strong; the taste was like a comforting dessert in a mug.
In fact, the dessert aspect might be expanded upon. I think I’ll make an afternoon tea loaf with dried fruit steeped in this tea… the flavours will be absolutely perfect.
The tea bags and packaging are all plastic free and recyclable or compostable. As it’s made from plant starch, you can pop the used bag or ‘tea temple’ as teapigs call it, in your food waste bin.
