First, a disclaimer: while I do have a little person in my life, this little person is only interested in breast milk. Thus, I have tested My Cup of Tea’s Little People’s Tea myself and I cannot verify whether this tea is ideal for kids. Given the tea’s natural sweetness, I suspect that My Cup of Tea got it pretty right.

Billed as a caffeine free alternative to the sweet drinks normally consumed by kids, Little People’s Tea is a strawberry cream fruit tea. I also think I can pick up a hint of rosehip, lending the tea its tartiness. It brews into a lusciously deep red with a perfect combination of sweet and sour: as the tea hits the taste buds, it rides a wave of tanginess, but this is quickly tempered by the drink’s sweeter flavours.

My Cup of Tea are a UK brand with a small range teas, all sold in bag form. The bags themselves are a cut above your average tea bag – as is the tea inside. But at £2.49 for a pack of twenty, the improvement in quality also translates to a bigger dint in your back pocket. For those based in the UK, shipping is free when you order over £20.
