In Direct Competition

For a long time now TeaDirect has been the teams number one choice, in fact we liked it so much we didn't have time to write about it until now due to excessive drinking time. Matt and Matt saw this new wonder on the shelves early in 2004, they snapped a pack of it up and got brewing. Since then we've been recomending it to the tea community and sure enough it has been piling up in everyones Tea cupboard. We decided to give this the official Nice-Cuppa-Tea test and see how it squares up to the top tea shelf rivals.

The tea testers for this challenge in Alphabetical order were: Matt Curd, Matt Green and new to the team James Hanczuk. The challenge was new to our new boy but he soon grasped the wonderful way we review tea.

The Results

Hank said: It reminds me of a simple 4-4-2 formation, its simple, its direct and most importantly it does the job well. Like Gordan Strackan says 'it fills that hole'. It sure does!

Notice the mug?

Matt Said: Up until this hit my lips my life was in black and white, this blend of strength and supreme flavour established what I can only refer to as a god of taste. If heaven is as good as this tea someone pass me a gun.

I've said it before and i'll say it again; Need I write on? if you have not tried TeaDirect, I suggest you do, it has the thumbs up from us. Another plus point that here at Nice-Cuppa-Tea we like to think about is the fact this is a fairtrade tea. If we had our way we'd pay the people who pick tea more than premiership football players.
