If you know me well, you will know I'm a girl who loves her tea. If you don't know me so well, my view is that almost any issue can be remedied by having the perfect brew. I have increased my tea stash considerably over the last few months and I have even invested in a glass teapot and infuser set. I rely on tea to sooth my stomach, purify my skin and wave goodbye to those pesky hangovers. You can only imagine my excitement when I received this Teapigs pick n' mix sample pack of 12 teas for Christmas. It wasn't a complete surprise as I had dropped a fair few hints during November and Decemeber about what a fantastic gift it would make and was considering buying myself. 
Tea pigs are a fantastic company who aim to spread the world about how fantastic tea with minus the snobbery. As you can see there are 12 mini boxes which each contain 2 tea bags inside. You can hand select which teabags you want online so each and every box is suited perfectly to the tea taster. This box was a perfect way for me to sample the teas on offer and I will definitely be purchasing some of the single flavor packs. As you cans see from the photographs below I have already tried some and they did not disappoint. The spiced winter warmer was bursting with cinnamon and would satisfy anyone with a sweet tooth, whilst the peppermint leaves were ideal after a carb packed dinner.
My teapigs box contained the following from left to right): tung ting oolong tea, mao feng green tea, chai tea, chocolate flakes tea, popcorn tea, green tea with mint, pure lemongrass, peppermint leaves, lemon and ginger, jasmine pearls and spiced winter red tea. 
The tea is packed into mesh triangle tea bags which allow the tea to diffuse perfectly. The only thing I sometimes have trouble with is peeling the label from the bag which has caused the tea bag to rip, so just make sure you have a soft touch. I think the next step for me is to try out their matcha tea which is made from 100% organic tea leaves.Tea pigs claim that one serving of their matcha green tea contains 15 times the nutrients of regular green tea, 70 times the antioidants of orange juice and 9 times the beta carotene of spinach.
