we all! Thankfully, though, the concept has never
been easier, thanks to Cupsmith’s Garden Mint Tea.
This lavour-packed blend of peppermint and spearmint
tastes delicious, whilst also being made from leaf tea.
While this method of making a brew is usually time-
consuming, this isn’t the case with Cupsmith’s, as the
tea is made using fully biodegradable silk pyramid tea
temples. You’ll get the bonus of an easy-to-make
tea, without compromising on taste! £4.25, ocado.comNOT SO GUILTY PLEASURE
