\"Hoogly<\/a><\/p>\n

The other day I told you about my\u00a0my recent trip to Cambridge<\/a>. What I forgot to tell you was that I spent\u00a0a good part of that week testing out new teas.\u00a0I love trying, testing and sharing new teas, especially when they’re from brands that are totally new to me.<\/p>\n

One of the brands I’ve\u00a0really\u00a0<\/em>been enjoying since that trip is\u00a0Hoogly tea – pronounced ‘Hyggelig<\/em><\/strong><\/a>‘. It\u00a0was founded by\u00a0Tina Gloggengieser who’s from Aarhus in Denmark but now lives in Brighton.\u00a0Hygge is a Danish word, it’s an\u00a0experience which gives the feeling of warmth, wellbeing and cosiness.<\/p>\n

\"Hoogly<\/a>
\n\u200bAll Hoogly teas are blended and packaged\u00a0here in the UK. They’re ethically sourced and fairly traded – it’s always good to hear this.<\/p>\n

\u200b\u200bI love the simplistic packaging of the tea, the markings on the boxes reminds me of the groves\u00a0you see on\u00a0a tree. The logo is simple but conveys a relaxing feeling.<\/p>\n

\"Hoogly<\/a><\/p>\n

I tried out 2 different blends from the brand – Sparkling White<\/em> and Chill Out Mint<\/em>, both of which were lovely teas.<\/p>\n

\"Hoogly<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Hoogly<\/a><\/p>\n

Sparkling White<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0has a\u00a0Chinese White Tea base. I’m not sure why, but I was originally expecting floral notes from this tea. However, the mix of apple pieces, lemongrass, ederflower and hibiscus create a real fruity flavour. The tea is a little tart, as you’d expect from a fruit tea.<\/p>\n

I really enjoyed this tea and found it perfect for drinking without milk<\/em>\u00a0in the evening.<\/p>\n

\"Hoogly<\/a><\/p>\n

Chill Out Mint\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>is a new favourite for me.\u00a0I’m a big fan of minty teas and this one did not disappoint. It’s a blend of peppermint, spearmint, eucalyptus and pine needles<\/em>. I find it has a very refreshing and uplifting flavour and is ideal for drinking after meals.<\/p>\n

I love to support independent businesses. It’s always fun to discover new ones and share my favourites here with you.<\/p>\n

What’s in your teacup today?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
