Tea has been around in the UK since the eighteenth century, and an abundance of teas cover our supermarket shelves as tea is the most popular and commonly offered beverage in any home, work place, restaurant, hotel etc. but there is noting quite like BRUU tea.
The most popular tea we drink in the UK is a black tea with a slice of lemon, and sugar. The other popular tea that we consume is English Breakfast tea, which is tea served in a mug with milk and a spoon of sugar, this is also known is also known as a builder’s tea.
In Britain we often enjoy a cuppa along with a sandwich, crumpet, scone, cake or biscuit. A popular British custom is to dunk a biscuit into tea.
As centuries have gone by though so has our tea tastes. We are now not just satisfied with the traditional Black or English Tea anymore but we yearn for variety from green, fruity, spicy and herbal teas.

Happiness is a cup of BRUU tea
Monthly BRUU will provide an experience taking you on a journey into the world of tea. With each of their boxes come four different teas (one dedicated to the featured country of the month), each with mini tea taste cards, a featured info leaflet taking you on a journey from the country of which all the teas are provided, and a themed treat within the box.
I tasted a variety of their subscription boxes from South Africa, Nepal and Japan each which took me on a journey and every single bag of their tea provided high quality loose tea leaves providing freshness and superior taste.
Here are photos of the amazing teas I enjoyed along with their mini tea tasting cards which came along with each tea.

Each took me on a different journey every month and I discovered a fresh new tantalising taste every time courtesy of BRUU.
Every single one was certainly unique and banging in flavours which I have never ever had before making BRUU tea that extra special and posh.
Each tasted as you can imagine but my personal favourite was the Cheeky Digestive as it seriously did taste like a melted down digestive biscuit but an alternative healthy version. It provided a sweet, nutty and fruity flavour.
I also got a little creative and with my BRUU Diamond Black tea I made some biscuits with the tea leaves which made gorgeous Earl Grey tasting buttery biscuits.
Lemon & Diamond Black Shortbread Biscuits
- 300g plain flour
- 1 tbsp Diamond Black tea leaves
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 150g caster sugar
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- zest of 1 lemon
- 175g butter cubed
Instructions
- Put the flour, sugar and tea in a large bowl and mix together.
- Add the butter and lemon zest and rub together with fingers to create bread crumb texture.
- Add in the lemon juice and continue rubbing the butter in. Bring the mixture together in your hands to form a dough.
- Once you’ve brought all of the mixture together, roll the dough into a sausage shape about 7 cm wide, and wrap up in cling film and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 190°C.
- After the dough has chilled, slice it into 1 cm thick discs. Place onto a lined baking tray and bake in the oven for around 12 minutes until slightly golden.
