A NATION OF TEA-LOVERS
T
eapigs was set up in 2006 by Nick and Louise in a mission to get
the nation drinking real tea again and it seems to have worked
with the teabags available in over 35 countries around the
world.
Temple shaped teapigs teabags are now extensively used in
homes and cafes across the UK and the range now covers 28 different
flavours. Teapigs are expanding their ever-popular brand to include
two limited edition ice teas for serious ice cold refreshment. Made
with natural ingredients and brewed fresh, these ice teas are delicious
and healthy.
The two flavours available are the light and refreshing Peach
Lemonade and Apple Spritz, which includes a sparkling wine
flavouring to make this alcoholic-free tea taste just a little bit
celebratory. You can make the teas fresh by brewing the teabags
before adding ice and serving immediately or make ahead and
keep in the fridge for 24 hours. A pack of 15 bags costs £4.50 and is
available from teapigs.co.ukYOPE

I Sea Pasta think they may have produced the next
superfood craze — seaweed pasta! The pasta is grown in
the purest Irish waters, before getting handpicked, rinsed
and dried in the glorious sunshine to reach its full potential.
Plus with 80 per cent fewer calories than regular pasta and
being packed to the brim with iodine, iron and Omega 3, it
makes a great source of some of the nutrients most difficult
to obtain on a plant-based diet.
It may not be ‘love at first bite’ but the more you eat it,
the more you’ll wonder how you ever survived without it.
Available online from seamorefood.com or from selected
health food shops, a
pack costs £4.95 and
provides five
servings.
