    Amazing blend

    "I love the original hot cross bun blend with black tea but sometimes I can’t have caffeine or want to enjoy it later in the day/evening. So I was overjoyed that a rooibos version of this finally exists. Definitely one of my firm favourites! Thank you Bird and Blend for the rooibos version!"

    — Andreea C. (5/5)

    Enjoyed the original

    "I preferred the original version i tried of this a couple of years ago. I bought another packet this easter as i had run out and was surprised to find it was really smoky and not how i remembered"

    — Jessica (3/5)

    Another lovely tea

    "This tea tastes amazing. Now, everyone likes different things, but if you want a tea that tastes of love, this is it."

    — Anika M. (5/5)

    Not to my taste

    "A bit too much citrus but not fruity enough to drink black. Doesn’t really remind me of hot cross buns. Just vaguely sour. Not for me."

    — Elise C. (3/5)

    Really nice

    "Not my favourite, but quite nice"

    — Tracy R. (5/5)

    So tasty

    "Perfectly spiced! Only downfall is it's fine so some leaves pass through a strainer."

    — Elspeth (4/5)

    Not for me

    "I love hot cross buns and spiced teas/chai, but I hate lapsang souchong and didn’t realise it was in this tea!…. BUT it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be, as there’s a nice touch of citrus at the end. But other than that I don’t get many other flavours so I probably won’t buy it again."

    — Rebecca (3/5)

    The Best of the Best

    "Definitely my favourite Easter tea. A hug in a mug, very tasty and I am so glad I bought more."

    — Katarzyna S. (5/5)

    Fine

    "It's a fairly pleasant tea to drink, sort of like a hot cross bun. Although it has an unpleasant almond smell in the pouch. Not anywhere near as nice as the Hot Cross bun tea that Sainsburys make a few years ago. It also feels a bit misleading that it comes under the rooibos tea heading but it also contains 2 types of black tea."

    — Jessica N. (3/5)

    One a Penny two a Penny…

    "The perfect sweet tea and tasted awesome. Unfortunately I’m not very good at the perfect sentence, but suffice to say it hit the spot and was the perfect tea sensation."

    — Ted W. (5/5)
